Summary
Five years ago, the world changed forever.
The World Awakening hit without warning. Mana flooded the Earth, mysterious gates tore open reality, and glowing status screens appeared before every human, turning life into something out of a fantasy RPG. Everyone was granted a unique talent—some gained superhuman vision, others commanded fire or even controlled gravity itself.
Damien? He got short-range teleportation.
Ten meters. That was the pathetic limit of his power. Worse, his body was frail—so weak he’d pass out after just a few jumps. Dreams of becoming a powerful awakened shattered fast. Mocked by others and burdened by useless stats, Damien resigned himself to a quiet, meaningless life, scraping by in a world that didn’t care.
Until they betrayed him.
Thrown into a gate and left for dead in a monster-infested labyrinth, Damien hit rock bottom. But in that darkness, something inside him snapped. No more running. No more weakness. He fought, bled, and clawed his way through beasts and death itself.
When he finally emerged… it wasn’t Earth anymore.
But Damien wasn’t the same either.
He’d died once already—now, he was done holding back.
