Across the vast convolution of worlds—the intricate weave of countless universes—there exist gods, each entrusted with a single universe to rule. In such an arrangement, skirmishes are inevitable—whether born of ambition, selfishness, amusement, or sheer pettiness.

Elliot’s unfortunate soul was caught in one such clash, a collision of divine wills that tore him from his life and thrust him into reincarnation… in a foreign land. A lost world. A world with no god to oversee it—for reasons best left unspoken.

Ul’Tra-el.

Unlike other realms, Ul’Tra-el had birthed its own will. A disturbance in its reality had once ripped open rifts in its space, and in response, the world forged a voice to protect itself. That voice, in turn, bestowed its denizens with strange powers known as Talents.

It was into this dangerous, self-willed world that Elliot was reborn—reborn as Northern. A man who should never have set foot here.

Worse still, Northern was born without a single Talent. Yet, through what might be called a golden finger—a gift from the god Nexus—he received something else: a peculiar system that allowed him to copy the abilities of others… and even evolve them.

But in a place like Ul’Tra-el, would such a gift prove to be a blessing… or a cursed shackle?

In a world deemed an aberration, Northern vows to rise above all—until he stands as the solitary peak that all others must look up to.

[Author’s Note]
The main character may come across as irritating in the early chapters—but this is deliberate. His flaws are part of the journey, and his growth is worth the wait. So, embrace the mishaps, endure the rough edges, and let Northern grow on you despite his imperfections.

"My second talent earned me the name Child of Darkness. My body became a vessel housing two forces that refused to coexist. Overusing my abilities would kill me outright, only for the Child of Light to resurrect me moments later.


"To grow strong, I discovered my two true names could never exist in balance—just as Light and Darkness can never coexist in the same vessel. I had to suppress one, embrace the other. Since I was already accustomed to being the Child of Light, and had grown comfortable with death's embrace, I chose naturally."


"But that didn't make it easy. With no one to train me, I had to die repeatedly as my own experiment... Eventually, I cracked the code. I had to rely heavily on my family heritage, using my talent abilities only when absolutely necessary. If I could resolve a situation through death, I'd gladly die—but if I also needed to win, then I'd ensure victory."
