The world is broken. Gods have grown bored, flesh-metal machines dream of sloughed skin and severed sinew. Souls are just fuel. In the ruins of a war-torn Earth, two figures carve separate paths through madness: Cassiel, a self-loathing wanderer who longs to be a hero but can't escape his own delusions, and Ramiel, a machine forged for war, desperate to find purpose beyond violence. As sinners become prophets, and monstrous gods twist desire into doctrine, Cassiel is forced to confront what heroism truly means, while Ramiel wages war against his creator—the Soul grinder, the living god-machine that birthed him. Their stories orbit a dying world, collapsing inward toward a shared question: if everything is built to destroy, can anything be saved?

When Lynn roused from slumber, he found himself cast into the realm of Westeros. Scarcely had he set foot in this foreign land than Ned Stark pinned him to the ground, a blade hovering overhead and his life hanging by a thread. In that critical juncture, Lynn abruptly awakened the "Enemy Kill System"—turning the tide of impending doom and even going on to wed Lord Stark’s two daughters. 【Kill 1 enemy, +1 XP】 "Boost XP!" 【Skill: Green Sight (Novice) 9/10→10/10, Level Up】 【Green Sight (Adept) 0/100】 Empowered by the system, he could traverse back to pivotal moments in history—beholding the legendary swordsmanship of Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, as it weaved through battles, the exquisite lance work of Loras Tyrell that knew no equal, and the clandestine assassination and poisoning arts of the Faceless Men. Every signature skill of the world’s legendary figures unfolded before him in full, mastered in the blink of an eye. Vying for power through intrigue? Green Sight pierced the veils of opponents’ hidden agendas, laying bare every intrigue and scheme. Short on forces? Summoning a handful of White Walkers with ice magic was but a expedient measure. As the Long Night loomed and grain reserves dwindled? Harness the magic of nature to hasten crop ripening, and the dire food crisis would be resolved. Donning a Faceless Man’s stolen visage to wreak havoc—such was his cunning wit. Witness how Lynn, once a powerless deserter of the Night’s Watch, forges his path step by step, cuts through thorns and barriers, and finally ascends the Iron Throne to hold the fate of Westeros in his hands!

Born frail in body and dismissed by the world as insignificant, Lucien Voss grows up learning a cruel truth early in life: strength invites resistance, but intelligence invites surrender. Mocked, ignored, and underestimated, Lucien survives not by fighting back—but by observing, calculating, and remembering. Behind his quiet demeanor lies a mind capable of dismantling systems, predicting human behavior, and turning chaos into opportunity. While others chase power through force, Lucien builds it through information, manipulation, and flawless strategy. Every insult becomes data. Every loss, a lesson. Every human weakness, a tool. As society spirals through political unrest, corporate greed, and moral decay, Lucien positions himself not as a hero nor a villain—but as an inevitable outcome. Allies rise believing they lead, enemies fall without realizing they were ever opposed, and empires shift hands without a single battle being fought. What begins as a story of survival slowly transforms into one of domination. Lucien does not conquer nations with armies or weapons—he conquers minds. And by the time the world recognizes his influence, it is already living by his design.
