By the year 2030, the world's obsession with violence and victory culminated in the rise of The Chainlink Cathedral, a sprawling coliseum of steel and screams. It was not simply an arena. It was sacred ground carved from rust and rebar, a monument to pain where glory wasn't just promised , it was etched into the flesh of those bold enough to step inside. Here, blood wasn't shed for money alone. It was spilled for legacy, for transformation, for the chance to become myth. Each fight was a ritual. Each roar from the crowd was a hymn. Fighters entered to be broken or reborn, and in many cases, both by the time the bell rang.

Attribute : Devil -- BOOK 1 (Under Development)
In a world where every human is born with a unique attribute-an essence that defines their power, their identity, and their destiny-it is the Universe itself that decides who they are meant to be. These attributes might manifest as magical powers, a predetermined fate, an omen, or a divine gift bestowed by the Creator. Some acquire magnificent, extraordinary abilities; others receive mild or moderate traits; some appear mundane, but never disgraceful. The Universe alone knows which attribute best suits each individual. Yet, on one solemn night, far away on a distant island, everything changed. In a quiet church, as a baby was being granted their attribute by the Universe, a shift occurred-one that would redefine the very meaning of disgrace. Suddenly, chaos erupted. A mysterious hooded man snatched the infant away. Before he vanished, the last word he noticed inscribed in the pedestal was: Devil. A name synonymous with a curse, the lowest of the low. Was it a misfortune? Had the Universe condemned this child? Or was there a darker purpose behind it? Can the Universe truly foresee the future it sets for its children? Dive into the enigmatic journey of Lash-a tale of a frozen region, a kidnapping, perhaps even a hijacking. Are you ready to witness the fury of the Devil incarnate? This anime-inspired fantasy saga awaits your mind's embrace. (Not Final Product). NOTE : Might Lack Notations.
