I Have a Book That Commands the Gods

[Post-apocalyptic wasteland + No Romance + Mythic Invasion + Mist-Born Mutations]

With the divine register on his left and his mortal enemies on his right, he must carve a path through blood in the abyss of the apocalypse.

In a wasteland ravaged by mist and radiation, humanity cowers behind towering walls, while the gulf between nobles and commoners is deadlier than the monsters outside. Gu Li, an orphan raised in a garbage dump, lost his father at three and his mother at sixteen. His blood feud points to an unreachable noble fortress. At ten, he awakened a divine register known to no one, but it lay dormant for six years, as lifeless as a corpse.

When he strikes a fatal blow in the name of revenge, he is arrested and exiled. On the road to certain death, Xie Jin appears like a beam of light piercing the darkness and pulls him into an even more brutal game: the struggle to survive the apocalypse.

Here, power comes from meditating on the gods, and at last his divine register begins to whisper. The first page it opens to bears the word... taboo.

As the mist beyond the walls churns and monsters howl, nobles inside raise bloodstained scepters. Gu Li tightens his grip on the only thing he owns. “The rules?” He licks the rust-flavored blood from his lips and looks at his rising companions behind him and the endless abyss ahead.

“I'm here to break them.”
