A handsome half-orc with a hulking body filled with perfect muscles stands carrying a great axe over one shoulder. His neon blue eyes watching the void, waiting for those that would threaten his world. Huge creatures with monstrous figures, beasts of the abyss, here to kill the orc. Their angered shrieks and pained screams filled the air. The corpses of these monsters surround his body, forming his throne of dread. His long tail smashed down, turning them into pulp while using his brutal axe with powerful chops, cleaving them into pieces. "This world shall become ours; you cannot stop our legion! Orc!" a distorted and evil voice sounded. "WATCH ME!" Shouted the orc, filled with confidence and pride. In defiance, a purple mist shrouded him as he transformed into a monster himself, with long gryphon wings and sharp horns from his head—a hulking muscular body and legs filled with thick scales and black hooves. Bang! The orc stepped forward, his heart burning with passion and desire as he bellowed with a demonic and distorted voice. "I am the Sovereign of Dread, foul Daemons. This is MY world! Return to your wasteland to rot, or DIE!" He was a manticore, the only male manticore ever to exist. He fights not for power. Not for glory! Alistair "Raven" Granbell fights only for his beloved women and because he LOVES to fight the strong and crush them under his axe Mor'vaal and prove he deserves his Dread Sovereign title.

“A throne of skulls. A sword of midnight. And a secret buried in blood.” In a world scarred by fallen gods and forgotten wars, one name strikes fear into the hearts of mortals and immortals alike — Vorath, the Lord of Midnight. Seated upon a throne forged from the skulls of kings, demons, and dragons, he rules the ruins of a dying age with his cursed blade, Nox Obscura, and a will unchallenged… until now. When two young warriors — Kaelen, a reluctant heir to ancient magic, and Seralyn, a bladeborn knight haunted by prophecy — are sent into the heart of Vorath’s dark dominion, they encounter a power far greater than they imagined… and a man whose monstrous legend may be hiding a deeper truth. As whispers rise from the bones of the dead and the gods themselves conspire in secret, the first threads of a prophecy long buried begin to stir. But in the shadow of the throne, light is not always salvation… and the darkest soul may yet be the key to the world’s final reckoning.

In a world consumed by eternal twilight, humanity wakes to a chilling proclamation from the Dread Sovereign: the ruler of life and death. The Abyssal Arbiter System is now active, and every individual receives 1 Abyss Coin, the currency of survival and power. All except for one—Jian Yu, who receives a staggering 1 Trillion Abyss Coins, a gift (or curse) granted by the Dread Sovereign for unknown reasons. This immense wealth offers Jian the opportunity to shape his fate—but it also places a target on his back. With only a single Abyss Coin to their name, the rest of humanity must struggle, trade, and survive. Meanwhile, Jian Yu navigates the depths of the Abyssal Arbiter System, using his incredible wealth and power to take on increasingly perilous trials, unlock forbidden abilities, and challenge the horrors that now roam the Earth. As apocalyptic trials descend and nightmares manifest, humanity is thrust into a macabre game. The Abyss Coins can be earned through blood, ingenuity, and survival but spent just as easily on desperate gambles and fleeting security. The line between savior and predator blurs, and only the cunning and the strong can endure this twisted gamble for survival.

With the exception of holidays or sick time.
