Jeong-Hui, a teenager with no accomplishments in life, spends his days in solitude, living alone and gaming most of the day. 
That is, until a world-shaking revelation descended on Earth. 
The one proclaiming to be "God" informed humanity of their failure as a species, and that Armageddon would begin. 

However, as a means of giving those worthy of continuing on a chance, "God" introduced the "Armageddon Game", bestowing a special system onto every person of the world. 
The system grants each player the abilities of Angels, reminiscent of an RPG as experience, stats, and level-ups are all present.
Though, as a person who lived a unfulfilling life as a lowlife and a coward, he begins his journey as the bottom-of-the-barrel start: level one. 

Those who reach level twenty within the six month time period will be allowed access into "The Tower"--however, what awaits in the mysterious, heavenly tower is unknown. 

Not intending to die after living a failed life, Jeong-Hui strives to reach the Tower, using his knowledge as a MMORPG player to ascend.

As an assassin-class and a martial artist class, he utilizes both the "Angel System", widely available to humanity, and another, unique system available only to himself to combat the trials in the way of his journey.

Dual System: Ascension of A Nameless Nobody

"Did you feel that?! It just got really cold-!" Sol shouted. 


"Yeah! I think that was Tsukikage!" Xiaodan replied. 


"--Let's just hope he wins!" He added. 


He evaded a swipe from one of the abyssal skeletons, countering with a powerful thrust of his spear that ignited with embers. 


As the ravenous, smoke-born fiends closed in rapidly, Xiaodan held his ground, focusing his strength into his right hand as an emerald glow centered around it. 


With a devastating palm strike that struck solid air, an emerald shock wave released, repelling the fiends and breaking the skeletal beings. 


"They're fragile, but there's a lot of them!" Xiaodan shouted. 


He continued using his spear to keep them at bay, summoning ember sparks to ignite various fiends, "--And they're not stopping anytime soon!" 


It seemed as though they had a steady method going–he was able to blow away each undead in one spear thrust, and Xiaodan's swift movements made it manageable to keep them at bay.
