Jerald Dezr is an exhausted, unlucky call center worker living in a cramped Manila apartment, ground down by poverty and a lifetime of abuse. His life changes forever when a global meteor shower strikes Earth. These meteors are actually "God-Cores" that grant reality-breaking powers to those who claim them, but the fragments miraculously bypass the Philippines, leaving the country powerless and isolated as the "Blank Zone." Seeking to escape his suffocating life, Jerald quits his job and travels to the mountains of Samar.

Hidden gem — exposure is the bottleneck
Readers who find this story follow it at a high rate; there just aren't enough of them. In our cohort data, near-daily posting lifted the odds of reaching 25 followers from ~0% to 17% — more chapters, shoutout swaps and ads buy the eyeballs this conversion deserves.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 10–19 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
