[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

The sound that followed was that of bones being shattered to pieces as Ryuk landed heavily on the ground. Blood rushed out from his lips.

Layered breaths escaped his lips as he struggled to keep his heart beating, trying not to be completely drowned by the pain that seared not just his body but his very soul.

Right now, there were various missing parts on him—severed legs, severed hands, a ripped-open jaw, exposed ribs.

There was almost no difference between him and an eaten animal—except he was alive and still struggling to live.

'I... have to... move... to know where... I am!' Ryuk thought, urgency laced in his voice.

He had finally stopped falling and landed somewhere, but in his battered state, he couldn't see where he was. And with danger lurking in every corner until now, he knew he needed to stand up.
