This world is broken..
Dungeons tear open the land. Monsters pour out.
And in the shadows, something ancient waits to return.
Arthur once ruled the slums as a mafia boss.. feared, decisive, and ruthless. Power was never given to him. He took it. Until one moment of misplaced trust ended his life in betrayal.
Death should have been the end.
Instead, he awakens in another world.. at the very bottom.
No class.
No talent.
No backing.
Thrown into an F-rank dungeon as expendable fodder, Arthur is forced to fight with nothing but instinct and intent. And when death closes in, something answers.
Not a blessing.
Not a class.
A system that responds to will itself.
His SOVEREIGN INTENT SYSTEM!!!
As Arthur survives, his intent sharpens into lethal skills, his presence bends the battlefield, and those who fight beside him grow steadier without knowing why. But power has a price, and the deeper he pushes, the clearer the truth becomes.
The Abyss is stirring.
Its worshippers move in secret, corrupting monsters, twisting humans, and preparing for the return of an Abyssal King long erased from history. Authorities deny it. The common folk fear it. The cult welcomes it.
Arthur doesn’t.
He has climbed from the bottom once before.
He knows this world’s rules.
And he knows how to break them.
This time, he won’t stop at survival.
He will rise.
He will dominate.
And when the Abyss comes knocking.. 
He intends to stand at the top.

"…Yeah," he whispered, almost amused. "This is where it gets awkward."


But even with that thought, he didn't hesitate.


Ten intent points for something like this?

Not like with Mel. That had been deeper, heavier, more instinctive.


A link that settled quietly in the back of his mind.


He blinked once, adjusting to it, then the next interface appeared.
