Sylas always wanted to be a hero—a savior who could protect others without breaking himself in the process. But when the System descends and Earth is forced into a brutal initiation, ideals mean nothing. Strength is law. Victory is survival. And failure? Erasure. The battle for Earth's throne has begun. The winner will lead humanity into the Multiverse, wielding power beyond mortal limits. But leadership isn’t earned—it’s taken. And if Sylas doesn’t claim it first, someone stronger, crueler, and far less forgiving will. But the System doesn’t reward mercy. Every level gained, every kill secured, drags Sylas further from the man he was and closer to the monster the world demands. Power feeds on pain, and survival means making impossible choices. If he wants to win, he must become something more than a hero—something strong enough to endure, to dominate, to shape the fate of a planet. The System crowns the ruthless. Can a hero survive long enough to claim the throne? A dark, high-stakes LitRPG progression saga where survival isn’t the goal—it’s just the beginning.
