100 years ago, the Awakening Surge reshaped the world. Humanity discovered the multiverse, and a percentage of the population began controlling ghosts, demons, and death energy. The story opens in the present, where the strong dominate, and Abyssal Coins are the key to survival. Xuian transmigrates into the body of a debt-ridden F-rank loser who is about to be executed by a gang of awakened mercenaries. However, Xuian’s Sovereign Core activates, marking his rebirth.

Sovereign of the Abyssal Dimensions

The battlefield trembled as six powerful figures descended from the swirling vortex above. Their presence alone warped the space around them, sending waves of energy that distorted reality itself.

Xuian stood firm, his Celestial-Abyssal aura surging around him like a raging storm. His commanders—Liriel, Arvok, Karthos, and Lysara—gathered beside him, all preparing for what was to come.

Liriel's expression was tense. "This is beyond anything we've faced before."

Arvok gripped his greatsword. "Doesn't matter. We fight."

Karthos smirked. "Finally, a real challenge."

Xuian chuckled. "Good. Because we're not backing down."

The six figures floating above them wore dark ceremonial robes, each embroidered with ancient, shimmering symbols. They radiated overwhelming power, each one exuding a different kind of pressure.

One of them, a tall figure with a skeletal mask, stepped forward. "Shadow Emperor Xuian. You have gone too far."

Another, with six glowing eyes, tilted their head. "Did you truly believe slaying our envoys would go unnoticed?"

Xuian's smirk remained. "I was counting on it."

Then, one of the elders let out a chuckle. "Arrogant. But interesting."

Xuian's eyes gleamed. "If you're here to talk, leave. If you're here to fight, stop wasting time."

A suffocating aura descended, causing the very air to vibrate. One of the elders, their body made of shifting energy, raised a hand.

A powerful force crashed onto the battlefield, attempting to suppress Xuian and his forces.

But Xuian's aura surged—shattering the suppression instantly.

His smirk widened. "You'll need more than that."

The elder's expression remained unreadable, but their energy flared stronger.

"Very well. We were sent to negotiate."

Xuian crossed his arms. "Then negotiate."

The elder with six eyes spoke. "You have proven your strength, and the High Council acknowledges it. We offer you a position among us. Join, and you will be granted power, resources, and dominion over vast territories."

Liriel frowned. "They're trying to buy us."

The elder continued. "In return, you will follow our laws and serve when called upon."

Xuian exhaled slowly. "In other words, I become your pawn."

The elder's voice was calm. "You become part of something greater."

Xuian let the silence linger before answering.

His forces tensed, ready for battle.

The six-eyed elder sighed. "Then you are our enemy."

Xuian's grin didn't fade. "I already was."

The sky rippled with power—a battle was about to begin.
