Centuries have passed since the monstrous wars of magicians died down, and half of the continent turned into an ash-covered wasteland unsuitable for life. Once magnificent cities now lie in ruins inhabited by dark creatures so dangerous that they had to build a Border Wall in order to protect civilians from a deadly threat. This is how the Wild Lands appeared... A small detachment led by Baron Koris Van Yser was exiled to a permanent settlement in the Wild Lands, which, in fact, is only a reprieve of the death penalty - the collapsing Empire, ruled by the hand of an aging king, gets rid of the objectionable. The settlers have one goal - to survive at any cost, against everything and everyone. He survived and recovered from his mortal wounds, only to learn that his past deeds had doomed a hundred people to certain death in the Savage Lands.

Lucien was born in a strong magic family, but he couldn’t use magic at all. Because of that, his family didn’t want him and sent him away to a scary place full of old bones and dead monsters. Discarded by his family and stripped of his name, he is exiled to the Eternal Ossuary, a forbidden wasteland where the corpses of fallen gods, ancient demons, and primordial monsters are dumped to rot. To enter is a death sentence; to live there is a curse. But as Lucien steps onto the hallowed, ash-covered ground, a voice resonates in his soul: [Ding! Detected location: The Tomb of the Solar Archangel. Sign in here?] From that day on, Lucien becomes the silent janitor of the gods. While the world’s "geniuses" struggle for crumbs of power, Lucien signs in at the Pit of the Demon King to receive the Abyssal Heart, and at the Throne of the Frost Queen to obtain Absolute Zero Magic.

The Grey Plague ended the world in a single night, mutating 40% of humanity into vicious creatures driven by bloodthirsty hunger. The 60% survivors evolved into two groups: the Awakened, who adapted to the Plague's deadly miasma, and the Unawakened, who lived one breath away from being infected. Everyone belonged to a category. Everyone except Cole Asher, a former soldier. Cole survived the apocalypse only to discover that the government's identification system couldn't classify him. He wasn’t a Grey mutant. Not an Awakened or Unawakened either. And when rumors began to spread that Cole’s blood could cure the Grey’s infection, the most powerful factions in the new world fixed their sights on him. The government wanted control over him, guilds planned to dissect and harvest him and others believed he was humanity's last hope. Now, hunted across a wasteland crawling with monsters, Cole must uncover the truth behind his immunity before those in power destroy him first.

They tagged me trash unworthy of a legend's legacy. So I became the devil seated on the throne. ****** They called his father a saint. And called him a disgrace. Theon Dravorn is eighteen, powerless, and hated. On the day he demands his father’s legacy from the archmage who stole it, he’s branded ungrateful and cast into the Netherworld Spirit-Devouring Wasteland to die. He doesn’t. The ASTRAL VILLAIN SYSTEM binds to his blood. It promised strength, demanded evil, and bred scorn. Each mission feeds his power with hatred, resentment, and blood. Refuse, and it kills him. Obey, and he becomes the demon his father died fighting. Now Theon learns the truth: Ren Dravorn didn’t fall as a martyr. He was murdered. And the killers wear halos in the Celestial Realm. To avenge a saint, Theon must become a monster. The only question is how much of his soul he’ll burn to get there? [For fans of morally grey cultivation, demonic systems, and sons who inherit war instead of peace.]

> In the Holy Domains, your worth is measured by what you kill and what you eat. Zack Tennyson was worth nothing—until he killed the wrong bug and hacked the system. Now the boy mocked as “Stab-Ass Fatso” is evolving faster than anyone expected. But power brings attention. And in a world where the strong eat the weak, Zack’s about to find out what it really means to survive. --- 📖 Synopsis The story opens with a sky-splitting aerial battle—Zack, older and blazing with crimson wings, going head-to-head against a Dragon-Type Guardian. As they clash, he breaks the fourth wall, taunting the reader with, “Let me tell you how it all began…” Flashback to the desert wasteland of the Holy Domains, where Zack is just another hungry nobody.

But power doesn't erase pain. At school, he's hated for a past accident involving his crush, Samantha McPherson—a betrayal that still haunts him. Home isn’t any better. Rent is overdue. Food is gone. His sister is out hunting deep in the Domains. And the system starts demanding brutal daily quests that threaten to break him if he refuses. And yet... something is changing. The mod is installing. The boy they laughed at is becoming something else. Not a hero. Not a monster. Something in between.
