Humanity lives under an unseen rule—the Ascension Cycle. A hidden system selects individuals at random, forcing them to evolve through survival tasks. Some must amass wealth, others must protect a chosen target, and some receive missions so impossible that failure is guaranteed.
But Ronan Vale wasn’t chosen at random.
Killed on a mission gone wrong, he wakes up with a system unlike any other:
[Evolution Path: Kill to Survive]
[Failure to Execute: Life Force Erosion Begins]
Unlike others, Ronan has only one way to stay alive—kill every single day, or his body will rot away. Each kill makes him stronger, sharper…less human. But as he fights to survive, he realizes his system is different. It evolves with him. It whispers to him. And it may not be just a tool—but a living thing.
As war brews between Harbingers—those who embrace the system—and Eradicators, who seek to destroy it, Ronan is caught in the middle. But he has no time for their games.
Because the real question isn’t how to survive.
It’s what he’ll become in the process.
