Gardens: Massive, floating cities scatted throughout the infinite sky, serving as the last bastions of humanity in a mysterious world governed by untouchable forces. The sky, vertically stratified by altitude, is far from a just place. Those in The Sky Empire (upper layers), live in contempt and luxury, breathing in clean air— free from the threat of waste accumulation and death. Those in The Federation (the lower layers) suckle off The Sky Empire's waste, vying for any opportunity to bite at the bliss of luxury. In this conflicted world, a boy - Ansel - is born. Looking out at the sky, he dreams of touching the stars. He reaches out with his hand, but the stars stay out of grasp. He dreams of what lies beyond the never-ending expanse of sky; he dreams of of the beasts hidden within the clouds. The chords that tie him down will one day unwind, and the countless paradoxes of his reality will shatter to reveal the truth.

Long after the Forever War is declared finished, peace endures only because it is enforced. The world that survived extinction is orderly, devout, and watchful. Faith governs law, memory, and mercy itself. Children are taught the Seven Truths before they are taught history, and guardians stand between humanity and the horrors said to have once worn human skin. At the center of this order lies a single, absolute law: The Hellspawn must never be allowed to exist. They are described as soulless remnants of forbidden science—creations of unbelievers who reached beyond creation itself. Official doctrine insists they cannot feel remorse, cannot change, cannot be redeemed. To destroy them is not cruelty, but preservation. To question this is heresy. Yet the Hellspawn did not vanish with the war. They learned to hide. They learned to speak. They learned to pray. As disappearances, quiet purges, and sanctioned executions become routine, cracks begin to form beneath the world’s immaculate certainty. A guardian tasked with enforcing the Final Truth encounters something impossible: hesitation. A child raised in absolute faith begins to sense that history is incomplete. And somewhere in the shadows, a being marked as unclean demonstrates compassion that doctrine insists cannot exist. The Extinction Clause is not a story about battles already won. It is about what comes after victory, when fear outlives its enemy and righteousness is no longer questioned. It asks a forbidden question: If evil can learn to pretend, Can faith learn to lie? And if extermination is written into law, Who decides when humanity itself becomes the corruption? This is a novel about inherited guilt, sanctified violence, and the terror of discovering that the greatest threat to the world may not be what survived the war—but what was built to ensure it never happens again.

To survive, Arin must master a power that was never meant to exist — before the system decides to erase him.

I spent eight years fighting cancer. Lost my hair, lost my strength, and eventually… lost the fight. And just as the darkness took me... Ding! {Cronos Protocol initializing… Injecting Affinity: Time … Innate Affinity detected… INFINITY?!} So yeah. I died, got isekai’d, and immediately broke the System so badly it started arguing with me. Too late, buddy. For I am alive! And not bald! And I'm gonna make it count. Even got a cosmic Affinity no one’s supposed to have, cool Time Magic, and Infinite Mana Regen. Which is good, because the world is collapsing faster than my old immune system. Because apparently… Eldritch monsters are straight-up falling from the sky. Gods are answering prayers a little too literally. And a 3000-year-old organization is hunting me because I “stole” two of their Chimeras. (Yeah, I’m keeping them.) While I… just wanted to have fun. Nah, I didn’t die of cancer and got isekai’d just to roll over for fate again. Let come who may… I’ll beat them all the same.

Soren transmigrated into Lover’s Labyrinth, a dating sim, not as a protagonist, but as a side character. That should have been fine. But instead, he awakened the Perverted Harem System, which gave shameless quests so absurd that even thinking about them made him seethe in anger. “This is a dating sim, not a pornhwa,” he roared in rage. From academy life to dungeon trials, his peaceful plan began to collapse as the system dragged him into chaos, embarrassment, and dangerously effective “accidental” progress. If he wanted to survive one event after another, he had to complete indecent missions without getting himself killed or exposed, all while simultaneously building a perverted harem of heroines far stronger than him. Surely… nothing could go wrong. Right? ***
