Beneath the wasteland, survival itself is a sin. And he intends to become the one who makes the rules.
An outbreak of forbidden energy tore civilization apart, turning the world into radioactive wasteland. Resources are power, betrayal is the norm, and in this inferno known as “Entropy Ashes,” even the bones of the weak become bargaining chips.
Jin was a “disposable asset” forgotten by the world, yet he possessed the most dangerous weapon of all: a mind as cold and calculating as a machine. He could convert human nature, pain, and even death into numbers, squeezing every last chance of survival from the most desperate situation.
“Teammates? Just expendable variables.”
During an expedition into some ruins, he meticulously engineered an “accident,” using a radiation trap to wipe out his entire team, all to claim an ancient chip capable of sensing source-matter radiation.
“Power? Just pay an equivalent price.”
To infiltrate a walled city-state, he disguised himself as a loyal mercenary, then poisoned his employer at the end of the mission and traded the man’s head for forbidden knowledge from a twisted cult.
“Killing a god? That’s just the ultimate optimal solution.”
When city-state oligarchs, mutant armies, and even radiation symbiotes calling themselves “gods” backed him into a corner, Jin smiled. He had already calculated everyone’s weaknesses, including those of the so-called gods.
A high-IQ battle of wits in the wasteland: mathematical thinking, deadly traps, manipulation, and resource leverage. Outsmart the wasteland instead of relying on reckless passion!
A price system that reaches the abyss: power demands a price in bodily corruption and the erasure of emotion, as the protagonist recklessly tests the limits of becoming less than human!
“Welcome to the Entropy Ashes Era, where even breathing puts you in debt.”
