In a world where Hunters protect humanity from monstrous threats emerging from mysterious Gates, Kai Touma is nothing more than an ordinary salesman. Despite his dream of becoming a Hunter, fate never granted him the power to awaken. Resigned to his mundane life, he watches from the sidelines as others rise to glory. But everything changes when a Red Dungeon—humanity’s worst nightmare—suddenly manifests inside his apartment, pulling him into a death trap with no escape. Struggling to survive in the abyss of despair, Kai encounters the Ancient Dragon King, Voltan—a being so powerful that even the monsters inside the Red Dungeon are terrified of him. But Voltan, weary from eons of existence, seeks only release. In an act of fate, the Dragon King grants Kai his essence, passing on his immeasurable strength before fading from the world. Now, reborn with the power of a Dragon King, Kai must navigate his new life as a Hunter. But the world of Hunters is far more treacherous than he ever imagined. Dark secrets lurk in the shadows, forces conspire against him, and the truth behind the Gates may shatter everything he believes. With draconic power in his veins, Kai’s journey is only beginning.
From the moment Wei Wushang took his first breath, misfortune clung to him like a dark shadow. The world deemed him a curse, a demon, a sinner. But to Wei Wushang, these words were meaningless, for he had always known who he was. Since the day he embraced solitude and learned to savor it, he has walked his own path, in his own way, in accordance with his own feelings. Though stumbling as he may, he has walked it regardless. Make no mistake, this is not a tale of heroism or redemption. This is the rise of an individual who will commit the most heinous of deeds in his relentless pursuit of eternal life. The world may be a cruel place, but he will be crueller still. -------------- Author's Note: •The main character is certainly not a moral person, but he isn't a total Machiavellian archetype either. The term 'total' is important here because our MC is very a selfish individual with no qualms for evil. He has plenty of emotions, there just placed in another direction. •As mentioned in the tags, there will be no harem. As for whether the MC will have a love interest, no, as it will conflict with the personality I have in mind for him. •The narration in the book can be a bit preachy, especially in the beginning. I'm sorry about that. •Chapter updates: No idea how often I'll release. Could be once a week, a day, or even a month. I've written three books before this one, and I've dropped all of them. I won't promise this time will be any different. If you're willing to take the risk and read, great. If not, that's perfectly fine too.
