The Black Blade Slays Dragons: I, a Wasteland Survivor, Am the Vessel of the End

In a post-catastrophe wasteland overrun by devouring bacteria, humanity clings to survival. Armed with a mysterious black blade, the young Zuo Chuan cuts through the beasts like grass, never realizing the blade is forged from the Dragon God’s reverse scales. Every swing draws him closer to the abyss of his destiny.

The black dragon Nidhogg, devourer of the World Tree, lies dormant beneath the earth. Its bones are scattered among the Dragon’s Rest Pods in various Safe Zones, and Zuo Chuan is the perfect vessel it has chosen. His younger sister Zuo Ning’s healing power is actually the purification of dragon blood. The hexagonal device beneath Carls Academy is an ancient Dragon-Sealing Pillar. So many people have unknowingly become pawns in the Dragon God’s awakening.

When golden light glimmers in Zuo Chuan’s blood and the clouds above form the eye of a dragon, the shadow of the End’s Wings will engulf the world. Will he become a new god and rule over an era, or forge the shackles anew with his own flesh and blood? The black blade’s final swing will either sever the fate encoded in his genes, or open the curtain on humanity’s twilight...

When he spreads his wings, bronze chains descend through cracks in the sky, as if welcoming their new king!
