Death's Heir
Lazar wasn’t dealt a winning hand at birth, so he quickly learned to see luck for what it was : something to believe in, but never rely on.
Even so, there was one debt he believed fate owed him : the chance to kill the man he refused to acknowledge as his father.
It became his only purpose, an obsession for which he would gladly sacrifice whatever fragments of himself that man had not already destroyed.
But instead of granting him that one modest request, the world seemed determined to stand in his way, and not in a subtle manner.
Just as he began to close in on his goal, the Apocalypse, yes, the damn Apocalypse, fell upon the Earth.
What impeccable timing !
Lazar had always known his path wouldn’t be an easy one, but now the obstacles between him and his target had not only multiplied but also taken on far more dangerous forms.
Catastrophes beyond nature.
Creatures that had once belonged to myth, religion, or even fiction, now roaming the Earth.
And, as always when circumstances were already dire, the ability humans had to make things even worse.
The future couldn’t have looked more promising.
Fortunately, if anything about the situation could be called fortunate, the Apocalypse had brought more than monsters and destruction.
It had also brought the power to fight back.

What you can expect from this story :
- No harem.
- An original and complete system that doesn't become overly complex or bloated with hundreds of skills.
- A pragmatic MC with a morally grey compass, who grows very strong without becoming boringly overpowered.
- Characters that feel realistic, while still having a few eccentric traits, otherwise it would be dull.
