The Evolution Paradox: Survival of the Unnatural

In a world reshaped by a catastrophic Catalyst, beasts have evolved into apex predators, driving humanity to the brink of extinction. What remains of civilization clings to fortified cities, surrounded by ruins where death is never far away. Born in the slums near beast-infested ruins, a brilliant but powerless young man once dreamed of a normal future through education and stability—until violence forced him to confront the reality of his world. On the edge of death, he awakens. But in a world where evolution follows strict rules, something about him is… wrong. As Pathwalkers rise, beasts grow stronger, and the fragile balance of the world begins to crack, he must carve his own path through blood, strategy, and relentless survival. Because in this world— To evolve is to survive. To survive is to be hunted. And he is something the world was never meant to produce.
