A Foolish Regressor's Only Choice

An infected world. With a never-ending invasion. Status screens, unique skills, gods and demons… even monsters capable of ending the world in a single breath. "Hah… what kind of circus do we keep getting thrown into? I am still not sure whether humanity deserves this or if the universe is just bored.." By the time he reached his twelfth life, Iskael had already watched the world end more times than he could count on two hands. He had failed as a hero, as a survivor, and as a lover, thrown back again and again using the tool he desperately monopolized. he stood alone at the cliff’s edge, but he looked nothing like the terrified survivors scattered far behind him. He looked over the Zenith Chasm in silence. Below him, the abyss seethed with monsters in the millions. An evil smile permeated his face, the kind no good soul should ever be able to make staring endlessly at the abyss. It was the kind of smile that would have made his classmates step back on instinct, the kind that did not match any sane person who still claimed to fight for humanity. Wind fought against his clothes blowing against him, and beneath the torn fabric of his shirt, black linen tattoos shimmered like living veins of ink, crawling and shifting with unearthly symbols wrapping his torso in all sorts of hidden places . He stood above the ever hollowing Zenith Chasm, as the sole vanguard for the beginning of the raid. Having fearful last minute thoughts are normal, for anyone staring at such an abomination of numbers. Yet you see only one mantra stayed firm this young man, Iskael's heart. A coping mantra more dear than anything. “The one who conquers time…” he murmured, eyes glinting with something far beyond hope or despair. ... "Will conquer the universe.” He stepped forward. Air rushed past him as he let himself fall, his body flipping weightlessly through the tranquil yet furious winds, and as he fell those black tattoos began glowing brighter with each rotation in preparation for something. Then, as monsters roared and the world shook beneath him, he whispered: “Ah.. well I guess I'm still just a half step there if we want to be technical…" But you see, my little karma farms...” His grin widened. “I’m still a regressor.” **BOOOM**

SSS Ranked Talent: I Can Upgrade My Skills Infinitely

He was a desperate survivor in a world devoured by monsters and gods, only to be granted a second chance. Reborn two years in the past, Alvian awakens moments before the launch of the hyper-realistic VR game "gods domain." He knows the horrifying truth: this is no game. In one year, the Convergence will merge worlds, and humanity will be the prey. During character creation, he makes a gamble that defies all logic. He abandons all pre-set classes for the custom class: "SkillBurst"...no starting skills, no stat bonuses...a path to failure for anyone else. As the system processes his suicidal choice, a new alert flashes before his eyes: [The System, recognizing this extreme handicap, has granted a compensatory reward!] [Ding! You have acquired the Sole SSS-Rank Talent: Super Upgrade System!] Instantly, the rules of the game are shattered. His path is no longer one of desperation, but of absolute domination. ———————— [You have learned the Legendary skill (Shadow Weave)!] [Super Upgrade System Activated! The skill has bypassed its limits!] [Congratulations on acquiring [Shadow Weave +2], granting damage immunity and near-perfect uptime!] While other players grind starter mobs, Alvian becomes an invisible phantom, assassinating a high-level exam boss before anyone can even react. While the academy’s elite follow the rules, Alvian exploits his future knowledge to gain legendary skills and world-first achievements. [You have learned the flawed AOE spell (Frost Descent), noted as un-upgradable with a high chance of self-injury.] [Super Upgrade System Activated!] [Congratulations! The self-harm drawback has been REMOVED! The spell now deals catastrophic damage and applies a powerful slowing debuff!] Armed with a talent that breaks the very concept of limits, Alvian’s rise is unstoppable. Dismissed as a cheater by the academy’s top prodigy? He leaves her in the dust, turning her rivalry into conflicted awe and eventually, hard-earned respect. Faced with an unkillable Apostle of a Calamity Demon? He achieves a World-First kill that puts his name on the global stage and reveals a terrifying truth: the apocalypse is coming faster than he ever predicted. Considered a classless anomaly? He conquers the Overlords Academy Championship, forges a legendary weapon, and uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to tear humanity's last bastion apart from the inside. But Alvian’s greatest power isn’t just his talent—it's the knowledge of the horrors to come. He will infiltrate doomsday cults, battle corrupted leaders, and stand against a newly awakened Demon God. Follow Alvian's journey from a traumatized survivor to a world-breaking anomaly. With the Convergence accelerating and humanity's last bastion falling from the sky, will his one-of-a-kind talent be enough to avert the end of the world, or will this second chance be his last?

He will seize control of his fate. He will climb until he stands at the absolute Pinnacle of the universe! --- Tags: #Psychological #Interstellar #Unrivaled #ExtremelyFastPaced #UndeadArmy #NoHarem #RuthlessMC #Urban #Apocalypse Disclaimer: This is purely a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique evolution to his path. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?
