The Regressed Tyrant’s Abyss System

The world didn't end. It broke into chaos. One moment, everything was normal—crowded halls, careless laughter, people living lives they thought would stretch on forever. The next, reality cracked open like an eggshell. Shadows started moving on their own. Creatures crawled out of places that shouldn't exist. And a cold, unfeeling system carved humanity into ranks, abilities, and tasks. Survive. Adapt. Or disappear. Most people were still trying to figure out what the hell was happening. Kieran Voss didn't. Because he'd already lived through it once. He knows how the world falls. He knows who dies, who survives, who becomes something worse than dead. And this time, he refuses to lose anyone else. But something's wrong. The system doesn't behave the way it should. The creatures don't react the way they did before. It's like someone changed the script while he wasn't looking. And when Kieran steps into the darkness— It doesn't consume him. It answers him. Now marked by something that shouldn't exist, Kieran becomes a walking anomaly. Monsters are drawn to him. Rules warp around him. The system itself starts treating him like a glitch that needs to be erased. To the people around him, he's a threat. To the system, he's an error. To the things crawling out of the abyss, he's something far worse than prey. As the world collapses into chaos and power becomes the only currency that matters, one question starts to surface: Is Kieran still human? Or has he become something the system was never designed to measure?
