"He survived. That was the problem."
Jin Mu-Hwal was supposed to die.
Instead, he awakens as Kael Draven in a world that rejects his very existence.
In a world that hates him, survival demands cruelty. Cold decisions. Ruthless hands. Mercy is a weakness Kael can no longer afford.
Then he meets Elara.
A stubborn woman who still believes even monsters can be saved.
To Kael, that belief is not hope.
It is a threat.
What separates them is no longer just ideology. Slowly, it becomes a line between what is human… and what is not.
This is not a story about heroes.
It is the story of a man who continues to live even as he loses the last pieces of his humanity—
and the insane woman willing to descend into the abyss beside him.
