'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read.

That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into.

The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow...

As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death.

It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation.

—

In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before.

A world where innocence was a luxury and the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin.

Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself.

Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. 

But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match.

…However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course.

—

Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world.

He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him.

And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe.

Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. 
 
The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control.

This pursuit would earn him the epithet: 

"Prince Of The Fallen."

OLD-WORLD EXTRA

Every single building surrounding Emir and the two Tyrants rumbled and cracked.

It was a sight to behold—a chaotic storm of debris and wreckage hurtling toward the monster duo.

They had no choice but to defend themselves, and that was what they did.

The Rootsire reacted as its spine erupted in a violent explosion of earth, creating a formidable barrier.

On the other hand, the Verdigris summoned a dance of roots and vines.

These living tendrils wove around the creature, forming a protective cocoon of botanical might.

The impact was deafening as the buildings, all crashed down at that single location causing them to be stacked on top of each other.

There was constant rumbling, cracking, and breaking.

And Emir watched it all from afar, as he rushed out just before the impact.
