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.

Arlem was shaken; he frowned. So did the others standing at the stairs.


"How do we even know you're telling the truth?"


"Boy? Do I look like I have time to lie to you? My friend and student is in Stelia, fighting for the world's fate. I'm not about to be grilled by you—will you take me to the person in charge, or do you want to find out just how scorching I can get?"


Jakim stared at her with blank eyes for a long moment. Then he swallowed and turned around, frowning.


Arlem glanced at his brother and looked at Annette as they drew closer.


He walked beside Annette while Jakim led them past the palace's fallen gate.


Annette looked around. She could see the enormous bodies of monsters and couldn't help but wonder how they'd managed to defeat such abominations.


She turned forward and asked, her expression slightly twisted.


"Just what in Ul's world happened here?"
