World Setting In a near-future society where ancient artifact cards—known as Origin Cards—have resurfaced, humanity has entered the Age of Binding. Each card contains a sealed monster that awakens only when it deems a human worthy. The card physically bonds to its chosen user, appearing as a glowing tattoo on the forearm. Once bound, the monster can be summoned at will, granting the user superhuman abilities proportional to the card’s rarity tier: Peasant – Basic utility monsters (common laborers or scouts) Warrior – Combat-oriented beasts (reliable but limited) King – Royal-class entities with domain control Demigod – Near-divine power with unique conceptual abilities God – Absolute apex entities; only seven are known to exist in recorded history God-rarity cards are so rare that entire nations have fallen trying to claim one. Society is now stratified by card rarity, with God-tier users treated as living deities or existential threats.

Reborn as General Zod, who was about to be exiled after the failed coup, he was powerless to save Krypton from destruction. In order to change his fate of having his neck broken by Superman, the son of the DC Universe, in the future, Zod plans to find a place with the sun and live there peacefully. However, he didn't expect that the Myriad Worlds Roulette System would be activated at this time. At the beginning, he would obtain the complete inheritance of the Emperor's Scripture of the Holy Emperor of the Sun, and he could also obtain the number of roulette draws by triggering tasks. The first time he drew, he got the sunflower from Plants vs. Zombies. Even without solar radiation, he could still unlock the super talents of Kryptonians. So Zod decisively changed his goal. He planned to arrive on Earth in advance, retrieve the Codex of Life from Superman, use the Creation Chamber technology to mass-produce Kryptonians, and gradually rebuild a new Krypton. As he continued to complete tasks and gain more draws from the Wheel of All Worlds, Zod also gained more treasures and abilities. From the energy crystals that can give life to planets in Armor Hero Xingtian, to the seeds of the Tree of Life in Ultraman Orb, or the dimensional wall that can travel through parallel time and space at will in Kamen Rider Decade... He found the super Kryptonian Hale, defeated Superman, improved and upgraded the Kryptonian genes, and then he had a group of super Kryptonian warriors who had no weaknesses and were powerful enough to rival gods. From then on, the name of New Krypton resounded throughout the multiverse and even in all the heavens and worlds. -------------------------------- 40 advanced chapters are now available on Patreon!

The game begins. Viran, sensing the shift, hunts Smithen relentlessly. "Mine," Viran growls, licking blood from a fresh bite on Smithen's neck while telekinetically forcing him. Smithen fights the curse's pull, fleeing but obsession escalates. Regret wars with desire. Smithen hates how his body betrays him—arching for bites that heal instantly. Viran whispers possession games: "Say you love me or you are done for!." Smithen resists, but the curse demands truth—each denial triggering pain-pleasure loops. Will Smithen shatter the curse before Viran's obsession devours him whole? Or surrender to the vampire's eternal claim, body a vessel for endless, curse-fueled rapture? Dark romance drenched in explicit supernatural unyielding possession. No holds barred. Note: Not a rushed romance—this is a slow burn, but contains mature romantic scenes.

‎Kael Voss is nineteen years old, broke, and works the night shift at a city morgue because no one else would hire him. ‎He is not special. He was not chosen. He has no destiny. ‎ ‎What he has is a dead man's arm with a mark on it, a basement crack in the fabric of reality, and a debt counter on his skin that starts at zero. ‎ ‎It will not stay at zero. ‎ ‎Beneath the modern world runs the Rift ‎ a dying supernatural layer leaking into reality, bleeding hunger and monsters and rules that nobody wrote down.
