Axel Buckley was killed by monsters in the apocalypse. Then he woke up 27 days before it all began. He settled scores with the thugs who had once humiliated him, then went after the rich heir who had run down his parents. He bought weapons on the black market and sold off everything he owned to stockpile supplies. When the blood mist came early and the gates of monsters opened, Axel completed his evolution on the mountain, saved the future powerhouse Sloane Stephens, and turned an ice factory into a fortress. Cutting down monsters, seizing Divine Spirit Fruits, gathering allies and fighting both human predators and monstrous ones, he rose from an ordinary man to a Level 6 Esper. In the end, he repelled a million monsters, claimed the Gate of Space, and walked with Sloane into a new world.
