Volume 1:Awakening in Rot City
Chapter 1
Ethan Cross lay on the cold concrete, blood mixing with dirty water beneath him. Neon lights flickered above, painting the alley in broken colors.
He laughed weakly.
"So this is how I die…"
Betrayed by his best friend.
Used. Thrown away.
Footsteps stopped near his head.
"Pathetic," a woman's voice said—cold and beautiful.
"In this city, weak men don't survive."
His vision blurred.
Then—
[DING!]
Rot Resonance System detected.
Host compatible.
System awakening…
Pain exploded through his body.
Filth. Greed. Lust. Violence.
The city's corruption poured into him.
His eyes snapped open.
[Welcome, Host.]
[This city is rotten.]
[And you will rule it.]
Ethan smiled.
Chapter 2: Welcome to Rot City
Ethan stood up.
No pain. No weakness.
Only power.
The alley felt alive—as if the city itself was breathing.
[Rot Resonance System Active]
[Host Status: Awakening Phase]
"You're alive?" the woman said, surprised.
She stood under the neon light—black leather, sharp eyes, dangerous beauty.
"For now," Ethan replied calmly.
She studied him like prey that had grown fangs.
"Interesting," she murmured.
"Welcome to Rot City."
Chapter 3: Luna Blackwood
They entered an underground club—Black Eden.
Music throbbed. Bodies moved. Desire and sin filled the air.
Ethan felt stronger with every step.
[Environmental Corruption Detected]
[Stat Growth Increased]
"My name is Luna Blackwood," the woman said, sipping her drink.
"I own this place."
Ethan met her gaze.
"Ethan Cross."
She smiled.
"This city eats humans," she said.
"Let's see if you survive."
Something dangerous sparked between them.
Chapter 4: First Blood
Gunshots.
Screams.
A rival gang attacked Black Eden.
"Everyone down!"
Ethan didn't move.
[Combat Situation Detected]
[Skill Unlocked: Corrupt Instinct]
His body moved on its own.
A knife snapped. A bone cracked. Blood spilled.
Minutes later—silence.
Bodies lay on the floor.
Luna stared at Ethan.
"You're a monster," she whispered.
Ethan looked at his hands.
"No," he said.
"I'm evolving."
Chapter 5: A Dangerous Offer
Luna closed the office door.
"You saved my club," she said.
"That means you belong in my world now."
She stepped closer.
"In Rot City, protection has a price."
[Bond Opportunity Detected]
Ethan smiled faintly.
"Then offer me something worth taking."
Luna traced his chest.
"Power. Money. Women. Survival."
Ethan nodded.
"I accept."
Outside, the city pulsed—hungry and alive.
