[System Activation Complete.]

[Congratulations, Host has awakened the Draconic Pets Evolution System!]

[Welcome host, to the path of domination.]

Thrust into Endearth, a shattered mirror of Earth teeming with mythical creatures—vampires, werewolves, cosmic gods—and the unstoppable Knulls, Ryuk sets out on a journey of relentless growth, vengeance, and discovery. But power comes with a price, and the dual nature of his gift could either save humanity or destroy everything.

This is a story of evolution, redemption, and defiance. Join Ryuk as he rises from nothing, building unshakable bonds with allies and carving his path in a world where strength is the only currency.

A/N

1. Hardworking protagonist. Ryuk doesn’t rely solely on his system; he earns his power.


2. Overpowered potential. Growth takes effort, but Ryuk will become a force to be reckoned with.


3. No hiding strength. He plays smart, but when it’s time to fight, Ryuk doesn’t hold back.


4. Dark and morally complex. Ryuk is vengeful and will cross any line to protect what matters.

5. No harem. Relationships are meaningful, not shallow.

6. Lastly, if this novel stirs even the faintest flicker of interest in your soul, pour your undying devotion into it! Haha, just kidding… or am I? But seriously, please shower this story with power stones and drop some reviews. Your support fuels Ryuk’s journey (and keeps me caffeinated while writing). Thank you!

Draconic Pets Evolution System

"Why is he climbing like that?" The question echoed through the minds of the rest of the fallen geniuses as they all found themselves catching up to Ryuk.

While Ryuk was climbing the rope, they were all running on it, easily surpassing him, and they wondered why Ryuk wasn't running on the rope instead of climbing it.

Quickly, the blue energy manifested itself, slowing them all down as their speed drastically reduced. But Ryuk kept the same pace, climbing with all of his speed and power.

Sweat trailed down his face from the burning lava heat below him, but his eyes remained deeply focused.

Ryuk's reason for choosing not to cover his skin in Apex Energy was simple: He wanted to feel the heat of the lava. It was supposed to be one of the difficulties of the Infernal Rope Walk—the terrible heatwaves from the lava.

While the others were shielding themselves from it with their Apex Energy, Ryuk wanted to use his physical body to bear the full brunt of it.

Finishing 8th!
