Humanity believed it was the rightful ruler of Earth. They built cities upon forests, drained rivers into deserts, and slaughtered countless creatures for convenience and profit. In their arrogance, they crowned themselves as the ultimate predator. But predators must prove their worth. One ordinary day, a voice descended from the sky. It was not spoken in any human tongue, yet its meaning burned directly into the minds of those who heard it: “You are no longer fit to be predators.” Only a fraction of the population perceived the message. For them, the judgment was undeniable. Yet the majority dismissed it as hysteria, rumor, or delusion. Nations scrambled to suppress panic, calling it a hoax. Religious factions clashed, each claiming the voice as divine revelation. The world began to fracture—not only between nations, but between those who heard and those who did not. Then came the sound. A piercing wave—like the cry of a dolphin, amplified beyond endurance—swept across the globe. Billions collapsed in an instant. Animals remained untouched. When the echoes faded, only tens of thousands of humans were left alive. Among them was Ian, an environmental engineer who had spent his life designing systems to heal poisoned rivers and dying ecosystems. Branded unstable by his peers and even ridiculed by his younger brother, Ian had lived in isolation long before the purge began. Now, survival forced him to face the full horror of humanity’s downfall. From the skies appeared incomprehensible mathematical formulas, symbols no human had ever written. Those who solved them were taken into the heavens, hailed as “chosen.” Yet Ian discovered the dreadful truth: the chosen were not saved. They were kept. Fed, chained, and slaughtered—just as humans had treated pigs, cows, and chickens for centuries. Amid the ruins of civilization, the survivors turned on one another. Those who heard the voice fought those who denied it. Governments collapsed, replaced by chaos, fanaticism, and violence. And as humanity devoured itself in desperation, the sky split once more. From the rift emerged towering figures, eerily human in form yet impossibly vast—predators that dwarfed mankind. For Ian, survival is no longer freedom. To be chosen is not salvation. He carries the burden of witnessing humanity’s final fall: the predator reduced to prey. Predetor is a dystopian science fiction thriller that asks a single haunting question: What if humanity was never Earth’s rightful predator at all?

The supernatural and the ordinary in the world are only separated by the darkness and the media.

He fell into a deep hole and a message appeared in front of him, like many novels on the internet. The system called him, but the supernatural power he held seemed to be different from other people with superpowers. In the end, was he a player, an ordinary person or... a madman?
