In a galaxy dominated by powerful genetic families, dimensional portals, and beast-fusion warriors, every 17-year-old must undergo a Genetic Awakening. Succeed, and you become an Ascendant. Fail, and you're cast into the mines, or worse.

Kael Riven, a known Null, expects nothing from his final trial. But when he touches the Gene Stone, he unlocks something the system can’t classify: a Spiral Gene, a long-lost Overlord genome capable of rewriting reality.

Branded an anomaly and hunted by the genetic elite, Kael escapes into a universe ruled by Seven Major Families, each with their own domains, politics, and dark agendas. To survive, he must journey into the Riftspire, a mysterious world beyond a guarded portal, where beasts drop ability cards, strength is earned through combat, and ancient powers slumber.

But Kael’s Spiral is damaged, and time is running out.

With secrets hidden in his blood, enemies in every shadow, and a power that shouldn’t exist, Kael must rise from outcast to Overlord.

Gene-based system? Check.
Beast card evolution? Check.
Overpowered MC with a hidden legacy? Absolutely.
