Kieran Vale’s second life was supposed to be extraordinary. Instead, he got nothing. No system. No awakening. No talent. In a world of alien dungeons, towering cities, and god-like Transcendents, he’s just another nobody—trapped in a dull job, waiting to be forgotten. Until the night he witnesses a Transcendent’s death. A black light brands his hand…and awakens something impossible. Corpse Inheritance. By plundering the dead, Kieran can steal their power—their skills, their instincts… even their identity. But power comes with a cost. Every borrowed ability burns away with time.Every disguise risks exposure.And in a world ruled by factions that kill to protect their secrets… Being nobody might be the only thing keeping him alive. Because in the shadows— Kieran doesn’t need to be strong. He just needs to be someone else.
