The Grand Line

Professor Reuben Stone is an underpaid epidemiologist when he unlocks the Outbreak System, a mysterious program that predicts epidemics before they spread. Each crisis averted earns him Development Points (DP), which he can use to build schools, water systems, and clinics. At first mocked as a “village doctor,” Reuben soon finds himself fighting not only cholera and malaria but also corrupt politicians, profiteering corporations, and assassins. Yet every outbreak he prevents strengthens his community—and every outbreak he ignores becomes a plague that could end the world. From forgotten academic to the world’s last line of defense, Reuben rises to become The Oracle of Public Health. But the System’s final challenge is not just to save humanity— …it is to build a world that no longer needs him.

Fired for no reason. Dumped by his girlfriend for being broke. His sister’s condition at the hospital was getting worse, and Aiden was losing everything, until life hit him with an insane twist. ---- "Empire Building System Activated." "Task: Own a company within 24 hours." "Penalty: Death." ---- With time ticking and death on the line, Aiden had no choice but to fight.

Stranded in a new world, surrounded by people with shady intentions, he would face the option. Toe the line… Or, once again, create his own path… Because once the truth behind their “holy summoning” is revealed, the world will understand one thing. They should never have brought him here.

On the night of Kael Draven’s birth, the skies split in two. The moon turned blood-red, the Veil of Aegis—the sacred barrier protecting the kingdom of Eryndor—shattered, and demons poured into the realm, slaughtering thousands. His mother died in childbirth, and the High Hierophant Malrick, leader of the Sanctum of Luminar, declared the newborn child the source of the calamity. From that moment, Kael was branded the “cursed child,” a walking omen of doom. His noble family disowned him, his name erased from their records, while his younger brother Aelric was exalted as the chosen heir. Kael grew up in chains, spat upon by peasants and nobles alike, humiliated in public festivals, and treated as less than a dog. His only friend was Fang, a scarred stray dog who shared his pain. Yet fate had other plans. During the grand trial, where Kael was condemned to die by being devoured by a monstrous beast in the royal arena, the curse mark on his body ignited. A fading celestial spirit, Elyndra, bonded with him, and his soul unlocked the Eclipse Codex, a divine system hidden within the mark. What the world called a curse revealed itself as a path to power. Despised by all, betrayed by blood, and hunted by the temple, Kael will rise from scorned trash to savior of Eryndor. The curse they fear is the only hope of salvation against Umbraxis, the Eternal Hunger—the primordial evil sealed at Kael’s birth, now stirring once again.
