{Check out my new novel, Misunderstood Villain: Heroines Mourn My Death}

'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 and death were a luxury, where 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

Kiera stood at the entrance of their camp, watching as her platoon ate their breakfast. Besides her was Lyra, sharpening her blade gauntlets, the light from a flickering holographic advertisement reflecting off them.

The two women were waiting for a signal.

Their first objective wasn't to protect the students, but to stop or at least delay the awakening of an unfathomable terror...

Right, a ten-core monster was slumbering in this ruin.

Templar was planning to awaken it and use it to distract Amon, giving them free rein against the professors and students.

They wanted a slaughter, and Emir tasked his army to minimize that as much as possible.

Fate was a tricky opponent, and it was close to impossible to beat, so they certainly had their work cut out for them.

[Emir arrived in the slums. Templar will most likely begin their real attack now.]
