The old world ended Under a rain of fire. Centuries later, humanity survived behind the walls of massive fortress-cities called Citadels. Beyond those walls wandered creatures born from the apocalypse, while inside, society was ruled by a simple law: Power decides everything. Those who awakened supernatural abilities became the rulers, soldiers, and nobles of the new age. Those who remained ordinary were treated as disposable. Darius Veyne was born into the prestigious House Veyne, one of the twelve bloodlines that controlled the mighty Citadel of Arkenfall. From birth, Darius was expected to become one of the strongest warriors of his generation. But when he was nine years old, everything was taken from him. His parents were murdered during a mysterious attack. His inheritance was seized. And when the time came for his awakening, his body produced nothing. No ability. No energy core. No sign of evolution. To the people of Arkenfall, Darius was no longer an heir. He was a defect. His relatives abandoned him in the outer districts, where the weak survived by scavenging through ruins and hiding from the monsters beyond the walls. Every day became another reminder of what he had lost. Until one night, while fleeing a creature under the ruins of an abandoned city, Darius discovered a sealed chamber buried deep under the earth. Inside was something that had survived the end of the old world. Something that should have remained buried. When Darius touched it, his body changed. His awakening finally began. But what emerged was not an ordinary ability. It was an unknown power called The Devouring Core—an evolution ability that allowed him to absorb the essence of other awakened beings, analyze their abilities, and transform them into something stronger. Every battle could make him more powerful. Every enemy could become another step in his evolution. And the power within him had no known limit. But Darius soon discovers that his parents' deaths were not an accident. The attack that destroyed his childhood was connected to the very families ruling Arkenfall. The people who stripped him of his name. The people who buried the truth. The people who believed he would never become strong enough to return. They were wrong. Now Darius has only one purpose. Revenge. He will tear apart the secrets they buried. He will hunt down everyone responsible. He will destroy the bloodlines that believed themselves untouchable. And when the rulers of Arkenfall finally realize what they created by abandoning him, it will already be too late. No forgiveness. No surrender. No escape. They took everything from him. Now he will take everything from them.

Drakoria* after a catastrophic war was pushed to the brink of ruin. The Era of Magic ended. Humanity rebuilt with technology, and the old world faded into legend. Then mana returned. But it came back wrong. Beasts evolved. Monsters emerged. Rifts tore through the skies, unleashing horrors that modern weapons couldn't stop. Humanity faced extinction. Until people began awakening powers beyond mortal limits. They became known as Awakeners. *Kael Arden* had spent his life waiting for his Awakening. When the crystal finally judged him, it declared his talent the weakest possible rank. F-rank. The world laughed. His future seemed ruined. But the crystal was wrong. When a catastrophic Rift Break throws *Black Ridge City* into chaos, Kael throws himself into the fight to protect the people he loves. At the edge of death, something buried deep in his blood finally wakes up. An SSS-rank Talent. A Draconic Overlord bloodline. A connection to an ancient existence that has slept for millennia. Now, guided by the mysterious *Draven*, Kael must master the power inside him and uncover the truth behind his bloodline, the ancient war, and the real reason mana returned. Because the return of mana was not an accident. And whatever caused the ancient catastrophe may not be finished with Drakoria yet. The world once called Kael Arden trash. Soon, they will call him the Draconic Overlord.
