In Eldoria, strength is earned the old-fashioned way. Years of cultivation. Decades of training. Rare resources. Talented masters. Ethan Vale has none of those advantages. Then, during a routine monster hunt, something changes. [Enemy Defeated] [Experience Gained: 12] Ethan has no idea what the System is or why he can see it. But he quickly discovers what it does. Complete a quest. Gain experience. Defeat a monster. Gain experience. Overcome an enemy. Gain experience. While other cultivators spend years refining their strength, Ethan can turn his experiences into levels. For the first time in his life, the path to power isn't measured in decades. It's measured in experience. But getting stronger this quickly comes with a problem. People are going to notice. And in a world where power determines everything, Ethan will eventually have to decide just how much he's willing to risk to keep climbing.
