​When the Mana Collapse comes, the surface world will burn. Everyone knows it—except the elites who siphon the realm's energy to fuel their lavish lifestyle, discarding the working class the moment their Mana Veins burn out. ​Han was one of those working-class casualties: a top-tier Logistics and Barrier Strategist betrayed by the High Hero and left for dead. But Han didn't die. Equipped with precise foresight and an intimate understanding of the realm’s architectural flaws, he purchases the dead obsidian mine nobody wants. ​Under the guise of a failing, debt-ridden mining venture, Han recruits the forgotten: blacklisted dwarven blacksmiths, overworked construction laborers, and discarded healers whose mana is deemed "insufficient." Deep below the surface, they aren't just digging for ore; they are constructing Sanctuary—a fully automated, geothermal-powered underground metropolis protected by God-tier mana barriers. ​When the Mana Collapse hits and mutated beasts devour the surface, the corrupt Hero flees underground, demanding absolute control over the last safe zone. He expects a cave full of peasants. Instead, he marches straight into a God-grade kill-zone built by the very people he threw away.

No. She would be the one forced to understand. Cast aside as a powerless nobody, Ethan is offered a marriage no one wants—a union with Serena Clarke, the beautiful Virgin Priestess cursed to remain in an endless coma.
