Ryuk’s life in the forsaken Grade E city was bleak, but it truly shattered when a Knull raid took his last family and left him for dead. 

On the brink of despair: 

[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!

"Tell me, Isha. Where are they?" Ryuk asked as Isha looked into the distance, then pointed her hands.

"These forests are shaped like a circle of some sort."

"The closer we are to the center, the weaker the beasts are—right now, anyway. We're at the exact center of this area. And the farther away from the center, the stronger the beasts become."

"There is an edge to these circles, of course, which is where this forest ends. And at these edges, there are creatures who are by far the strongest of all—just at the edges..."

Isha stated, pointing further into the distance, and Ryuk's eyes narrowed, recognizing a familiar sight.

When he had arrived here, he had keenly sensed those terrifying beasts that resided at the Plane of Cataclysm. They had made his spine grow cold.

"The truth is, I have noticed—the farther away one is from the center of this forest, the greater the concentration of Mana, and the higher the grade of the artifacts."
