In a world ravaged by radiation and the remnants of war, Dylan is far from a classic hero. A lieutenant with a tainted past, he's just trying to survive the ruins of a dying world... until the day he wakes up bound and surrounded by the mutilated corpses of his comrades.

Captured by monstrous creatures, he soon realizes he’s been transported to another world. A world far more dangerous, far more brutal—where only the strong survive, and even monsters are hunted. Saved in extremis by Maggie, his commanding officer, he begins a desperate escape. Their only hope may lie in their encounter with Élisa, an elf abandoned by her kin, and their discovery of a mysterious power: anima gems—stones imbued with spiritual essence that can enhance body and soul, and unlock the path to awakening.

Wonderful Insane World

His feet struck the ground in silence, muffled by black grass and the ashes of the old world. He kept a low profile, his notched machete gripped tightly in his hand, eyes locked on the moving beast.

Maggie ran, swift and efficient, her silhouette slipping between the gravestones and ruins like a perfectly thrown decoy. And the creature, all of it, barreled toward her. Its guttural breathing left a harsh trail in its wake. Its claws scraped against stone, and its hooves echoed like drums in a macabre melody.

But Dylan wasn't looking at Maggie.

The beast was picking up speed, but it ran in a straight line. Too confident. Charging like a furious ram, convinced brute force would be enough.

"And I…" Dylan thought, "I guess I'm the rock in its path."
