"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.
