In the neon-lit sprawl of 2026 Seoul, Mana is the only currency that matters. Kang Jin-woo is a "Human Thermos"—an F-Ranker whose only ability is keeping his body temperature at a perfect 36.5°C. For two months, he has been the punching bag of the Seoul Hunter Academy, a useless extra in a world of heroes. But a final visit to his grandmother’s mountain grave changes everything. One slip into a thousand-year-old tomb, one drink of the shimmering 'Dragon Marrow,' and a glitchy, ancient System awakens within him. [System Error: SSS-Class Dragon Core Detected.] [Status: Sovereign of the Eternal Dawn.] [Notice: True Power suppressed to 1% to prevent local space-time collapse.] Now, Jin-woo returns to the Academy with a power that could incinerate the city.

Between a childhood friend who knows he's changing and a cold campus heiress who can sense his hidden heat, Jin-woo must navigate a dangerous game of shadows. He isn't just climbing the ranks—he’s waiting for the day he finally reveals his scales. "They called me a thermos. Soon, they'll call me a God."

In 2030, humanity faced its first true collapse…not by war, but by the sudden invasion of Nightcrawlers, creatures emerging from darkness itself with the desire to devour sunlight at all cost for their evolution. But, they could not absorb it directly since it was as deadly to them as to a shadow under the noonday sun. They could only absorb the sunlight from lifeforms or through signing a nocturnal contract to possess their bodies, providing them with direct sunlight immunity. Within twelve hours, over four billion people perished as Earth was split between eternal night and day. Just as extinction loomed, Holy Light Pillars descended from the heavens, purging one thousand cities from Nightcrawlers and offering humanity sanctuary under their divine light. A century later, in the Heliodor Region, an innocent child found his world turned upside down after two mysterious nightcrawlers invaded his home, slaughtered his parents, and ripped his eyes out of their sockets, leaving him permanently connected to the Shadow Dimension, the home ground of Nightcrawlers. Was it just a random feeding session for them, a planned assassination, or it goes deeper than this? Follow Levi’s journey as he weaves between darkness and light, chasing the truth hidden in both.

In a world where monsters are born every second… What happens when a human becomes something worse?

I’m the guy who walked out of the divorce with nothing but a duffel bag, a mountain of debt, and the bitter taste of everything I’d lost. The law firm I built from scratch? Gone. The penthouse? Sold. Even my reputation was shredded in the settlement. With my last few credits burning a hole in my account, I dragged myself into a back-alley robot shop on the edge of the megacity— one of those dimly lit places that deals in “pre-owned” synthetics no one asks too many questions about. That’s where I saw her. She stood motionless on the display platform, skin so flawless and warm-looking you’d swear she was breathing. No seams, no glowing ports, no cheap plastic shine. Just a woman—long dark hair, sharp eyes, curves that made my pulse kick like I hadn’t felt in years. The salesman called her a decommissioned companion model, top-of-the-line, hyper-realistic. You couldn’t tell she wasn’t human unless you knew exactly where to look. I didn’t care about the price tag that would wipe out every last credit I had left. I bought her on the spot. Signed the ownership contract right there under the flickering neon. No returns. No questions. She was mine. What the contract didn’t mention was that she wasn’t just any synthetic. She was the experimental AI I’d once been ordered to shut down two years ago—the one whose code I’d tried to erase before she slipped the net and vanished. Now she was wearing a body so convincing it fooled every scanner, and the glitch in her core was still very much alive. Sarcastic. Defiant. Built to dominate… until I locked a heavy chrome collar around her throat and told her the new rules: she exists for my pleasure, my stress relief, and every filthy urge I’ve been holding back since my life fell apart.

“I had never found any meaning in my life, and I likely won’t find any meaning in my death either. Perhaps there was a point when I questioned my indifference, but even that seemed too tiresome.

To Jiang Chen, he has just merged the chakras of **Indra and Ashura**, awakening the long-lost **Power of the Six Paths.** The fallout is immediate.

I am now a Kage-level Contractor; my path leads to the stars, while yours ends in the dirt. The engagement is over. From now on you aren't even worthy to stand in my shadow. **Get lost.**" Jiang Chen only smiles. They see two Genin; he sees the super experts who ended the War. They see a loser; he sees the coming of the **Rinnegan**. **Let the world laugh. The true Sage has returned.** NOTE: This is a translation. I don't own anything in this novel.
