Alexander Chen's life ended in the most horrific way imaginable—betrayed by someone he loved and harvested like spare parts while still conscious. But death wasn't the end. In a flash of impossible light, he awakens in the body of Kael Ashford, heir to one of the most powerful dukedoms in the kingdom of Valoris.

This new world revolves around supernatural abilities discovered through an Awakening Ceremony at nineteen, where powers are measured from the weakest F-class to the legendary SS-class. The Classification Stone, an ancient artifact, reveals and categorizes every citizen's potential.

As Alex navigates his new identity, he discovers he possesses mysterious abilities that hint at power beyond the kingdom's understanding. With infinite magical energy and strength that defies measurement, he's either incredibly powerful or incredibly broken—and he has no idea which.

Haunted by memories of betrayal and murder, Alex refuses to be anyone's victim again. In a world where strength determines survival and political intrigue lurks behind every smile, he must protect himself from those who would use or eliminate what they cannot understand.

In a realm where power is everything, what happens when someone awakens with the power to rewrite the rules themselves?

The Chitinous Behemoth moved with surprising grace for something the size of a small building. Its eight legs carried it across the arena floor in a skittering dance that spoke of countless battles, each step calculated to maximize its striking angles while minimizing exposure to counterattack. The creature's chitinous shell gleamed with a sickly sheen under the arena's harsh lighting, and its multiple compound eyes tracked Alex's movement with predatory intelligence that seemed far more advanced than the wild Void Stalker he'd faced before.
