The Grand Line

"You used to say a piece of bread was worth more than my life, didn't you? Well, look at me now. I have everything, yet I would rather feed this to my guard dog than toss it to traitors like you. The world has changed, Cindy. In my world, you are not even worth the dust on my shoes." The apocalypse was not the end of everything. It was the beginning of the reckoning of sins. When the black meteor Khamul crashed into the continent of Eldoria, the world transformed into a living hell overnight. Axel Edward was betrayed by his girlfriend for a single piece of moldy bread and thrown into a horde of zombies to die. However, death instead awakened a miracle: the 100x Rebate System. The rule was simple. Give any resource to a woman chosen by the system, and receive a return up to a thousand times over in god-tier quality! Give away a sip of leftover water? Axel received an entire warehouse of pure mineral water. Give away a rusty kitchen knife? Axel received a steel-shattering laser vibration sword. Offer basic shelter? Axel received an invincible divine fortress. While the rest of the world shivered and starved in the dark, Axel was busy figuring out how to finish his fresh Wagyu beef and taking hot baths inside his grand palace. Alongside the goddesses who had sworn absolute loyalty to him, Axel would ascend to the highest throne. To those who betrayed him: prepare to beg for death. To the ruined world: bow down and worship your new ruler.

Underground is the Top Organization around the World. It has too many Sub-Organization under it and each has the means to rule the Underground World. La Carde Clan was the one who founded the Organization and they aimed for peace and prosperity for their people. They reigned the whole Organization, proudly standing being La Carde but that changed in one night. They were swept out, totally vanished into thin air when the sun rises. They were killed in one night. An arson. The news spread like a wildfire. No one survived. That's why the next in line after La Carde, Morozov Clan took over the throne and made a rule. No one should talk about the "Massacre of the La Carde Clan" if they want to see the light of the day. They considered it taboo. As how it should be.

The Dominion summoned a hero. What they got was a man the Brand cannot control. Luen Varyth was an old man, content with his lot in life as the godfather of a large mafia, ready to enjoy his years of retirement… Before an unexpected ambush forced his hand. Stepping through a portal of light was dangerous, and stealing the destiny of someone else was tasteless; but when the choice was between acting dubious and staying back to get riddled with bullets there was no doubt his path. 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.
