I Will Seduce The Northern Duke - Chapter 1: The Devil's Contract

Derek Carter never asked for a System, an apocalypse, or the pressure of being humanity’s so-called “last hope.”He was just trying to survive the daily struggles of being an orphan in Paleview City—dodging bullies, scraping together meals, and lying his way into school. Life was already hard enough.Then, one day, a blue screen pops into his vision:[Warning: The world is doomed. Try not to die.]Yeah, great. Just what he needed—cryptic doomsday messages and no instruction manual.Now, monsters are creeping into the city, reality is unraveling, and Damien’s “legendary” starting stats are barely above zero. The System promises him power, but there's just one tiny problem—he’s never won a fight in his life.Armed with sarcasm, questionable decision-making skills, and the sheer refusal to die, Damien is about to embark on the worst (and possibly last) adventure of his life. Because if the world really is ending… he’s at least going to make it someone else’s problem first.After all, heroes are overrated—survivors get to tell the story.

That day, my head was struck by an unknown object, and after I woke up, I realized that I’m able to, through titles, understand a person’s truest side.

Raylo, the second son of a Duke, successfully awakens the Daily Intelligence System upon becoming a Pioneer Knight.[1: Within the family's Knight Order, there is a discontented Great Knight named Ed. Ed has been stuck in the position of a squad leader for many years and has not been promoted due to his lack of worldly wisdom. If you promote Ed to Personal Guard Captain, he will realize his ambitions and break through to become an Earth Knight.][2: The Guard Captain of Thunder Dragon City's east gate has hidden his embezzled funds under a water vat in front of a thatched hut next to the east gate. This is a considerable sum of ill-gotten gains.][3: In three days, there will be a blizzard in the Black Stone Mountain Range. A Space Rift will appear along with it, and a 'foreign object' may fall through.][4: In a river valley south of the Black Stone Mountain Range, a flock of Gray-headed Geese resides. The Gray-headed Goose is a Tier One Demon Bird. Its meat is tender and delicious, and its liver is a delicacy favored by nobles.][5: In the eastern part of the Black Stone Territory, there is an abandoned mine. A young Silver Dragon, abandoned by its parents, is hiding here and will spend its fledgling years in this place. This hiding Silver Dragon is a Mutated Silver Dragon. As a Metal Dragon known for its sturdy physique, this little one unexpectedly possesses a talent for Magic that surpasses even Elemental Dragons.]

A world destroyed. An axe to grind. And a path to infinite power. Welcome to my reality.When the cultivators came to Earth, they destroyed our entire civilization in a matter of hours. Armies fell, cities burned, and that was before the moon turned red and filled our world with monsters.Now, over a decade later, what’s left of humanity slaves under the heels of our Qi-infused masters. The luckiest of us might even become one of them, they say—if we serve the Dynasty well enough and harness the power of Qi.But I want none of that.I’m sick of serving and I want nothing to do with their world. Instead, I want them to pay for what they did to mine. Maybe that’s why she found me. The fearsome, angry goddess who showed me a different path. Apparently, Qi is not the only route to power.Now I’ll fight to take back my planet, to grow strong enough to beat the cultivators at their own game. Through blood, sweat, and pain, I will free humanity or die trying.For that’s the Path of a Berserker.Path of the Berserker is a progression fantasy novel that contains immortal cultivators, an oppressive intergalactic dynasty, rage-inducing imperial bureaucracy, magical spirit beasts, fantastical martial arts and one pissed-off MC who’s sick of it all. Fans of western-style cultivation fantasy, post apocalypse, and xianxia will enjoy.
