The city fell before the world noticed. Hybrids revolted. Monsters walked openly through streets. The Xotikós — a white-skinned, white-haired species once called human — were reduced to survivors and graves. Gust escapes prison into a city already dead. He does not come to save it. Once, he had a wife who believed in the gods. A daughter who believed her father was a hero. The government believed he was a weapon. All three were wrong. Engineered beyond his own understanding, Gust was designed on theories even his creators feared — a being capable of collapsing reality itself if allowed to awaken fully. Marked as an omniversal threat, he was broken, tortured, and buried long before the world needed him. Now the president who ordered everything is gone. The gods who were worshipped never came. And the hybrids who lost their minds call him legend — and curse. Gust moves through ruin, stopping atrocities not out of mercy, but memory. He uses less than a fraction of his power — because even one percent would shatter what remains. This is not a story about revenge. It is a story about loss, faith that failed, and a man who must decide whether existence deserves to survive him.

Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy.
