DEVIL // COVENANT

On a storm-soaked night, the Unezugawa District is consumed by devils born from humanity’s deepest fears. Seventeen-year-old Haruto watches helplessly as the Abandonment Devil—an entity forged from the terror of being left alone—slaughters his parents before his eyes. Yet when the monster corners him, something is wrong. Haruto does not tremble. He does not beg. He feels… nothing. His emptiness draws the attention of something far worse. In a flash of crimson, the legendary Crimson Devil appears—an ancient entity once believed to have nearly triggered the apocalypse centuries ago before being sealed by exorcists. Fascinated by the boy who cannot fear, it offers Haruto a contract: Power beyond human limits… In exchange for a precious memory each time he uses it. Haruto accepts. But there is a truth no one knows. The Crimson Devil dwelling inside him was once meant to begin the end of the world. Instead of destroying humanity, it chooses something unthinkable—it spares the brave and forms a covenant with one. To prevent future catastrophes and hunt the very devils born from mankind’s fear, Haruto joins the Exorcists—the same organization that once fought against the Crimson Devil itself. Now feared by devils… Suspected by humans… And slowly losing the memories that make him who he is… Haruto walks the thin line between salvation and annihilation. Because if the devil inside him ever changes its mind— The apocalypse will not be stopped.

The World Ended During My Sleep and I Became the Strongest Mutant

Samuel Wong… A 24-year-old man who already feels like his life is over. He works long shifts in a factory, drifts through his days without direction, and watches his health deteriorate until doctors diagnose him with lung cancer. With no real options left, he agrees to undergo an experimental treatment that might save his life. Before he can even find out if it worked, the world collapses. On his way to the hospital, violent animal attacks erupt across the city. What begins as scattered incidents turns into chaos within hours. Streets fill with blood, emergency lines go silent, and something unnatural spreads faster than anyone can contain it. In the middle of the panic, Samuel saves a little girl, but he is bitten in the process. He was taken and sealed inside a pod as society fell apart around him. When he wakes up, the world is unrecognizable. Five years have passed. Civilization has fractured into isolated settlements surrounded by ruins. Mutants roam the wastelands, some mindless and savage, others organized into dangerous factions. Massive predators stalk the outskirts of human outposts. Survival is brutal and uncertain. Samuel quickly realizes he is not the same man who went under. His body reacts differently. His endurance, instincts, and strength feel wrong in ways he cannot explain. The more he survives, the more questions grow. As he forms bonds with other survivors and defends from evolving threats, Samuel is forced into a role he never imagined for himself. A protector and a leader when there is no one else strong enough. But surviving is not enough. If he wants to protect the friends and people he has met in this broken world, he needs to uncover the truth about what happened to him, what caused the mutations, and why he feels like he was meant to wake up in this new age of monsters.
