Humanity, driven underground, clung to survival while desperately plotting to reclaim their shattered world.But from the abyss of darkness, something miraculous stirred—a mysterious tree, shimmering with ancient power, appeared overnight. It chose only the strongest of heart, those with unbreakable will, gifting them extraordinary abilities. With these powers, humanity rose from the depths, waging war against the shadows.Yet beneath the surface of their heroic deeds lay a hidden rot. Corruption seeped into their ranks, and arrogance clouded their judgment. As their powers grew, so did the whispers of betrayal. The true battle may not be against the creatures lurking in the shadows—but against the darkness festering within their own hearts.A question lingers: When heroes fall, who will rise to take their place?

Riser traveled to the world of novels and became a villain. The first thing he does when he transmigrates is to retire from the engagement!I've seen this kind of villain routine in several novels, I didn't expect to experience it myself. Even so, I have to survive in this brainless novel world.But what happened next surprised Riser.Rias: “Riser, do you know the difference between you and the stars?”Riser asked in confusion. “What's the difference?”Rias: “Stars are in the sky, but you're in my heart!”Riser: “.... (Something is wrong with this woman. What about protagonist? What about the plot? As heroine, why don't you have any self-awareness!)”Grayfia: “Riser, you have helped me many times. If you want, I can promise you my body and heart.”Riser: “Cough, cough! That's an interesting idea. What about your fiancé?”Grayfia: “Fiancé? You mean Issei? I never recognized him as my fiancé. I hate him.”Looking at the heroines who were sucking up to him and ignoring protagonist, Riser felt very tired.“Sorry protagonist, these heroines don't want to be with you. Why not find another woman out there?”Seeing the heroines with villain, protagonist angry and vomits blood.Riser had no other choice but to bully protagonist to death.

His body felt warm... too warm... and the scent in the air was unfamiliar, sharp and clean, like lightning after rain.He turned onto his side.And froze.A pair of golden dragon eyes stared back at him from inches away.The man was breathtaking. Long black hair spread across silk pillows, sharp features sculpted as if carved from jade. His presence alone pressed down on Su Ningyan’s chest, heavy and suffocating.His face went pale. “What the—”“You’re awake.” The man smiled faintly.Jun Haoxuan. Azure Dragon Clan. Future Beast King.And, according to the book, one of the men who would eventually become his husband.“Did you sleep well?” Jun Haoxuan asked calmly.Su Ningyan’s eye twitched.
