Sovereign of the First Ash

The world did not begin with a bang. It ended with an absolute silence, erasing centuries of human history and leaving behind a brutal, post-apocalyptic wasteland. Today, humanity clusters in isolated surface colonies protected by elite monster-hunters known as Cullers. They wage an endless war of attrition against the Gen Z—deformed human entities whose white flesh is choked with dark, parasitic veins. Far above this misery hovers Neo Terra, a highly advanced floating sky island whose “peaceful” technological sharing masks a dark, predatory intent. Ambo wakes up in a damp limestone cave with zero human Astral Energy and a mind wiped entirely blank. He assumes he is just a helpless stray trying to survive his first rookie field deployment for the Kampilan guild under the watchful eyes of the stoic captain Zaiden and the loudmouthed Jahek. But when a brutal punch fractures the void of his amnesia, it releases a terrifying trauma reflex. Driven by pure survival instinct, a surge of thick, oily black biological fluid erupts from Ambo’s skin, coating him in the monstrous, cackling silhouette of a laughing devil. He doesn’t possess human light or flame, yet his fluid suppresses the environment like an impossible, top-tier form. As a revolutionary group named Walibu floods the surface with black-market booster drugs to spark an all-out war against the sky, a terrifying third faction enters the board. Led by an elegant gentleman, a group known as “Encanto” reveals that the Gen Z are no longer just mindless, flesh-shaping beasts—the highly intelligent Gen 2 variants have successfully infiltrated human society. Caught in a crossfire between sky tyrants, human rebels, and human-disguised monsters, Ambo must hunt down the truth of his empty past. For deep within his veins lies a secret that will tremor the foundations of the world: he doesn’t host human Astral light because his body is already occupied by the slumbering lineage of the Gen Z’s ancient First King—and the cackling devil is ready to claim its throne. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Sovereign of the First Ash — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
