The world ended not with fire, but with a voice.

When the System descended, seventy percent of humanity were turned into zombies. The rest awakened as “Players” — bound to a new reality of levels, classes, and power. But survival is not just about fighting the dead. It’s about facing the monsters that awaken in the hearts of men.

Elias Cross was nobody — a construction worker abandoned by his parents, scraping by in silence. When the apocalypse arrives, he awakens not as a hero, but as a Laborer: the weakest of classes. No power, no glory. Just a hammer in his hands and a will to endure.

Yet in a world that rewards cruelty, Elias chooses compassion. He refuses to abandon others, even when it puts his life at risk. Slowly, through scars and sacrifices, he will rise. From a forgotten worker to a protector. From a weak survivor to the Saint of Dawn, a beacon in the darkness of the end.

But the System is merciless. Safe zones are guarded by monsters. Loot corrupts the soul. Betrayal is as deadly as any beast. And beyond Tier 5, a greater truth waits — a final trial that could decide whether humanity deserves to survive at all.

In a world where kindness is weakness, can Elias’ light burn against the endless night? Or will the darkness consume even him?
