In a world where death is not the end, those who perish are given a chance at rebirth—returning with extraordinary powers to combat the monstrous Fallen Beasts that threaten humanity. These individuals, known as the Reborn, are both feared and revered for their abilities.
Michael was an orphan who lived a life of suffering, constantly beaten and tormented by ruthless gangsters. One night, after enduring one final, brutal assault, he was left for dead in a dark alley. But instead of meeting oblivion, he awakened in a void where a mysterious voice offered him another chance—at a cost. Accepting the offer, Michael was reborn with a new identity, gaining the power to manipulate shadows and a terrifying mask that enhances his abilities. Now unshackled by fear, he returns to the world with one purpose—vengeance.
Upon hunting down and slaughtering his former tormentors, Michael is confronted by Leon Diamond, a powerful guild master who sees potential in him. After an intense battle, Michael is defeated and taken to the guild’s headquarters, where he is given a choice: join the organization and fight against the Fallen Beasts or be executed as a rogue killer. Recognizing the opportunity to test his newfound strength, Michael accepts.
As he integrates into the guild, he meets his new teammates:
Scarlet, aka The Empress of Hell – a fierce warrior clad in red armor, wielding a crimson sword, with a scar that tells of her brutal past.
August, aka The Right Hand of God – a laid-back yet deadly fighter, dressed casually but harboring immense power.
Ember, aka The Great Diamond – a kind-hearted girl whose diamond-infused armor makes her nearly indestructible.
Despite his violent nature, Michael slowly begins to form bonds with his team. However, his struggle with his old instincts and his insatiable thirst for bloodshed make it difficult for him to fully embrace his new role as a hero.
As the guild faces greater threats, including a rising force of corrupted Reborn and an ancient evil lurking in the shadows, Michael must decide—will he truly become a protector of humanity, or will he succumb to the darkness that granted him power?

This one is a masterpiece. I'm confident that this is one of the best apocalypse novel on WN. Descriptive and has a smooth progression at the same time. MC is op but still has his own struggles. The story keeps you on edge and there is a hint of mystery and foreshadowing sometimes. Characters with personalities (Lilith:3) The abilities and skills can evolve and it's really interesting to read. This novel has a serious chance to win WSA in my opinion. Update speed needs to be upped 2chs/day;)0 0 Reply

This is just another TJSS work. If you have read one then you have read them all. Expect team ups, awful romance, immature characters and bad decisions everywhere. My issue with TJSS is always the same. He reuses too many of his ideas and all of his stories are incredibly childish. Even when there are mature aspects it never loses that childishness. Some people might appreciate that when 99% of other cn's are gratuitous violence and edge galore.0 0 Reply
