Runaway

She awakens in a Cthulhu world with hazy recollections. Danger lurks and stalks her from the beginning. The steam era of the nineteenth century greeted her at the gates of hell.

In the doomsday, where humans one by one turn into zombies or are endowed with superpowers to survive. Luca Edgar, an ordinary man who works as a civil servant also becomes an ordinary man in the doomsday. When the people around him have superpowers and can fight against the zombies, he just hides behind the backs of his friends and becomes a weak, protected object. Because of his pride, Luca didn't want to constantly depend on others. He secretly strengthens his body and sharpens his instincts, trying his hardest to be able to protect himself even without superpowers. Instead, he is attacked and clawed by a zombie. Ruth Allyson, a girl who has been following him, reaches out to heal him with her healing powers. This in turn awakens Luca's rare superpowers.

He said yes before he even knew the question. Desmond Hale had one night to save his daughter and nothing left to sell. A stranger’s voice offered him a quarter million dollars, no questions asked. He took the deal. By morning he’s in handcuffs for a murder he didn’t commit, betrayed by the woman he trusted most. Then the cuffs come off. No trial. No explanation. Just an old man who tells him his real father left behind a fortune worth billions, and Desmond is the last heir standing to claim it. But claiming a crown means claiming enemies, and the one woman he can’t stop thinking about is about to marry a stranger to save her family, unaware she already belongs to him. Six years ago. One courthouse. A marriage no one ever undid. He walked in wearing handcuffs. He’s walking out wearing a name powerful enough to burn it all down.

Seven years ago, a blue screen appeared before every human on Earth and promised a new beginning. Within a day, millions were dead. Now everyone has a System: a level, a rank, a worth measured in numbers. Everyone except Kael Draven. No level. No skills. No place in a world that treats the powerless as disposable. He has survived seven years in the ruins of New York by noticing what others miss, and he is still searching for the little sister who vanished the night his parents died. Then his team abandons him inside a dungeon that was never supposed to wake up. Kael studies the monster hunting him, finds the one thing it fears, and lives. And as it falls, the System flashes a message it was never meant to show: [WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW SUBJECT TO ACCESS THE CORE.] Why would the most powerful force on Earth be afraid of a man it cannot even see? Before he can find out, he touches a black relic older than the System itself, and every awakened user for miles loses their powers for three terrifying seconds. By morning, he is the most wanted man in Ironhaven. But Kael is done being the hunted. With a disgraced commander, a runaway scientist, and a loyal giant who owes him his life, he starts pulling at a conspiracy buried in the night his family was murdered. Every lie he exposes makes him more dangerous. Every rule he breaks makes the System more afraid. Everyone else grows stronger by obeying the System. Kael grows stronger by finding where it breaks. It named him humanity's greatest threat. It has no idea what it just created.
