The Mythos Weaver

Ethan Forge got Transmigrated into a world where power isn't something you're born with, but something you gain by cultivating paths of ascension. Each path of ascension is unique and comes with unique abilities. One's talent doesn't matter much as smartness in this cursed world infested with aberrations and maledictions. Ethan learned a hard lesson from the first day: power is more significant than life itself, because without power, there is no life to live for.
