Death was supposed to be an escape, a way out, but no one ever warns you that it's a cycle. For Andrew, that meant dying over and over and over again, being pulled into a million threads just to be reformed. He wakes up not as a person, but as a single particle of Mana, one billionth the size of a quark. To reach an end to this eternal cycle he must die repeatedly, climbing the food chain of existence one death at a time. From a particle, to a cluster, to an atom, and to whatever he may become. In most systems the user already has a body, but for this user, He IS the concept of magic, He is Mana.

Hidden gem — exposure is the bottleneck
