Roman Rings was just another guy trying to give himself a fighting chance.

He masters combat, magic, crafting, healing, and disciplines that have no name, each one making him more versatile and more dangerous. As the Badlands throw increasingly lethal challenges at him, Roman proves that the system that tried to bury him made a critical error: it awakened the one person capable of breaking every category it created. The underestimated awakener rises not to fit the system, but to shatter it.

On a rainy night of July 15th, Qin Sisi brings home a shivering stray cat. Since then, her life undergoes a profound change. The cat is affectionate, intelligent, and oddly human in its mannerisms -- following her from room to room, sleeping on her pillow, and staring at her with eyes that seem to understand every word she says. Then the cat transforms. Not into a cute anime-style companion, but into a devastatingly handsome man who looks at Qin Sisi with the same devotion the cat showed -- multiplied by a thousand.

'Didn't we always sleep together before?' he counters, confused by her sudden modesty. The man who was once her stray cat is not human. He is something ancient, powerful, and bound to Qin Sisi by a connection that predates their meeting.

The Sun disappears. An alien insect swarm attacks. Humanity falls into a dark age where survival depends on the weapons you carry and the items you own.
