Overlord Light Volume 15

Johnny Lance was once an ordinary man with an extraordinary sense of responsibility. Growing up in the suburbs of New Veritas, he became the protector and provider for his younger sister, Claire, after their parents’ tragic death. Despite the hardships, Johnny built a modest life with his wife, Elena, and their young daughter, Lily. His dreams were simple: to give his family a better future. But the cracks in his life began to show when he risked everything to start a business with his charismatic best friend, Marcus Blackwood. What began as a partnership built on trust and ambition turned into betrayal. Marcus and Elena’s affair destroyed Johnny’s marriage, and Marcus’s ruthless business tactics forced Johnny out of his own company. Left with nothing—no family, no fortune, and no purpose—Johnny spiraled into despair. He moved into a dingy apartment on the outskirts of New Veritas, drowning in bitterness and regret. His longing to be reunited with his daughter, Lily, was the only light in his dark world. One night, in a drunken and reckless state, Johnny attempted to drive to see Lily, but a devastating car accident left him bleeding out on the brink of death. In his final moments, a mysterious message appeared in his mind: *"The Seven Deadly Sins System of Wealth has chosen you. Do you accept?"* Desperate for any semblance of hope or power, Johnny accepted. The system granted him his first ability: **Greed**, the power to see and manipulate opportunities for personal gain. With this newfound ability, Johnny rose from the ashes of his former life, using the system’s powers to amass unimaginable wealth and influence. His first act of “Greed” involved manipulating a failing stock, turning himself into a millionaire overnight.

A million years have passed since the war that shattered the harmony of Caelestia—the once-divine realm that shimmered with eternal light. The Divinomachy. It began with a betrayal. One of the Supreme Emperor’s most powerful and revered archangels, corrupted by pride, jealousy and ambition, raised his blade against his Creator. His defiance was swift and infectious—many of the Emperor’s faithful servants followed him, seduced by whispers of freedom, power, and a new order. Thus ignited a celestial war — Divinomachy. For one hundred years, the heavens trembled under the weight of clashing divinities. Brother turned against brother. Skies once filled with song now roared with the cries of battle. At last, the Supreme Emperor, weary of endless bloodshed, brought the war to a bitter close. With a divine curse, he cast down the traitors into a prison realm he created—Phlegethon and sealed their leader—while some escaped. Their punishment was eternal. Once-angelic beings were twisted into demons. Their silver skin blackened and grew scales. Their radiant wings darkened into shadows, and crimson replaced their once pure silver eyes. Even their hands bore the mark of damnation—silver claws sprouting where gentle fingers had once been. And when the fallen archangel was finally struck down, a prophecy echoed across the universe—spoken through the Emperor’s oracle: “When the stars realign and the seal weakens, the fallen one shall rise again. But from the forbidden love of both light and darkness shall be born a child—a hybrid. He shall end what the traitor had begun.” Though Caelestia was rebuilt, its wounds never fully healed. For prophecy does not forget, and the chains that bind the fallen grow weaker with every passing age. The ones who escaped hid themselves across the universe, patiently waiting for the return of their master.

In a world that is defined by power, Lance stands out as the only enigma-nap, with no visible aim and a razor-sharp tongue. This lazy, sharp-tongued orphan, however, hides under the indifferent face a very sharp mind and single terrifying thought: 'Can I become a god?' He transforms that rather weird obsession into an obstinate path for becoming the controller of the very texture of society. Thus, in walking such cunning schemes, he really very well plans the things in a manner that all those who will be caught in the web don't know how they got entrapped. Ranging from the shadowy syndicates to ancient bloodlines vying for supremacy, everyone is just another piece on his board. Evelyn, heiress to a legacy now crumbling, has her own fights. Mysteriously, both parents vanished in relation to a top-secret research project. The thing preventing total destruction of the family's an ancient curse: utter ruin to any that lay a hand upon this bloodline-the protection has already started to fade. In a fateful meet with Lance, Evelyn would acquire an artifact capable of giving unimaginable superhuman powers. But one condition binds their uneasy alliance: equivalent exchange. Such were destined to forge alliances as well as betray and cut secret deals, and in such noise, Lance discovers the buried legacy of his own blod, a legacy that perhaps holds the key to his grand ambition towards godhood. Bloodlines are unveiled, as underground superhuman races come to light, and as secret organizations revealed their own conspiracy towards ascendencion. Lance sacrifices pawns in a larger game that only he can see in every moves. Even gods bleed. Will Lance maneuvers his enemies to rise to the throne of immortality or will his cold calculations be trumped by love, betrayal, and the unraveling secrets of his past?.

Humans were living peacefully on Earth for millions and millions of years until the day unknown monsters who called themselves Sulckers, invaded them from beyond space. They were fast, ruthless, and cruel monsters ready to claim earth realm for themselves. Humans were being slaughtered mercilessly by the seconds and civilization came crumbling in the face of the invaders. However, just when humans were on the verge of going extinct and nonexistent, a heaven-sent phenomenon occurred. A small group of humans with awoken special abilities came to light and shared their abilities to the world. Teleportation, fire manipulation, water manipulation, monstrous strength that could move mountains; humans had finally gained the power to fight back. With the combined effort of the small group of humans, the Sulckers were pushed back to their planet, and humanity once again regained control over their planet. Though the battle ended there, the war was not. This war had created many orphans, and among them, Erix had lost everything, even his parents at a tender age. And the only thing he had received from their death was a pale-looking necklace. He was bullied every day at school because of how weak and abilityless he was. However, once the necklace was finally activated, Erix was granted a system, and his whole life was turned around. He completed quest after quest and became more powerful, until one day the system gave him a weird quest he wasn’t sure he could complete. [New quest received] [Control your uncontrollable thirst for human blood. Abstain from human blood, but during this time your HP would keep decreasing by -1HP/1 hour. Quest will be marked complete once you have lost all your HP]

"Who am I?" Waking up in an unfamiliar room with no past memories, an unfamiliar man greets him, claiming to be his new guardian, Ifeus Lero, who then tells him... "Your name is...Topaz Oriole." A world of Magic and Monsters, where those who wield Magic are known as Mages. Every Mage, without exception, falls under one of eleven Classes, each with their own unique forms of Magic; Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Dark, Space, Physical, Support, Tamer and Sneak. As for Topaz, his amnesia isn't his only concern. His Class isn't one of the eleven established Classes, something that's completely unheard of. The Wrath Class, a mysterious Class absent in the history books. Advised to keep his abilities hidden for the time being, Topaz avoids using his Magic in front of others. However, Ifeus's secrecy soon becomes a growing point of frustration for Topaz...it's clear that Ifeus knows about his past, but refuses to tell him anything about it, along with hiding the real reason why it's imperative for Topaz to keep his Class hidden. Even as Topaz settles into his life post-amnesia, forming friendships, rivalries and romance, the dark shadow cast by the mysteries of his forgotten past continue to haunt him. With flashes of fragmented memories, and some common sense, Topaz comes to the conclusion that, whatever he went through pre-amnesia, was likely far from pleasant. And unfortunately for him, the dark, broken past he has no memory of isn't the only issue to contend with. An organization bent on world domination makes its presence known, and operating in the shadows, is a dangerous cult determined to resurrect a powerful, malicious entity who nearly destroyed the world centuries ago and was sealed away. And at the center of it all...is the Fractured Mage, Topaz Oriole.
