In a world where only a select few awaken their souls and gain supernatural powers, Ren is nothing but ordinary. After his parents' death, Ren and his sister, Yumè, were abandoned with nothing but an empty home and each other. But when she is afflicted with the mysterious Soul Rot, Ren takes it upon himself to find a cure in order to save the only person he has left. With a mere eight months remaining before Yumè succumbs to her illness, Ren is suddenly ripped from his world and cast into an unknown land by scheming figures with sinister motives. Stranded and alone, Ren faces monsters, foreign Blessed, and demons, all while wielding a newfound power that has given him the hope and the means he needs to cure his sister. Ren doesn't know how to get home yet. But he will. He has to. --- What to expect: - Weak to strong to godlike as the MC masters/gains his power - Determined MC in a gritty and unforgiving world - Slow burn as the MC accumulates his strength to achieve his only goal - LitRPG focused on skills (not very crunchy) - There will be romance, but NO harem! - Fully planned for a long-term series Daily releases forever! (hopefully) Note: I am Australian so will write in Australian English, meaning there many more appearances of the letter U. The tags and content warnings are mainly to ensure I have creative freedom later on (if I want/need it). cover: @_aphora_ on Instagram
