When the legendary mana finally descended upon Earth, the world as humanity knew it collapsed overnight. Animals mutated into terrifying beasts, plants awakened into sentient predators, and humans who survived the surge gained the ability to acquire skills-but only through defeating formidable foes.
Civilization's old laws crumbled. Now, only one truth remained: the law of the jungle, where the strong devour the weak.
Among the awakened, one figure rose above all others-Taven Calderon, a gifted college athlete who discovered an unparalleled power: Destruction Manipulation. With it, he stood destined to challenge every throne of existence. God, Angel, Demon, Dragon, Vampire, Werewolf-none would be worthy of being his enemy.
Yet even Taven's path crossed with an enigma beyond comprehension: Animus Aethervale, a figure wrapped in secrecy. An androgynous beauty of unshakable calm, with powers shrouded in mystery. To Taven, Animus was not just a rival, but the one existence who truly caught his eye... and perhaps, the only being who could stand beside him in this new era of chaos.
