[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!

Abyss Draconis

In front of him, Ryuk could see the dangling shadowy tails ripping out from his stomach, sapping him of every vestige of strength as a ghastly beast's chuckle rang out through the area, echoing loudly in his defeated heart.

Slowly, the beast walked forward towards him, its tail held up at his eye level, as its shadowy eye stared deep into him.

"You... Foolish... Weak." The beast called to Ryuk, whose eyesight dimmed as he looked at the beast's claw slowly rising towards his body and then...

In one swift move, his shoulder burst out with blood, as his hand was cleanly severed by only a single finger from one of the beast's claws.

"I've been tricked," Ryuk mused, looking down at his dangling feet with dim eyes.

'The beast fooled me by only using its tail to attack, making me think that was its only way to strike.'
