Predator's Rise

In a world where dungeons and gates have unleashed hordes of beasts and monsters from ancient myths and legends, humanity teeters on the edge of extinction. The survivors of this cataclysm have retreated into Shelters, fortified cities protected by towering walls, advanced weaponry, defensive barriers, and traps, while beyond, a savage wilderness teems with danger.At the age of 16, every human awakens to a unique talent—an extraordinary gift known as the "Blessing of the World." These talents, ranging from elemental manipulation to telekinesis, are ranked by their potential, from the humble F rank to the godlike S rank. For the gifted, the world offers opportunities for power and prestige, but also unimaginable dangers.



Sirius Starblade, a young boy from the fortified city of Blackhawk Shelter, awakens on his 16th birthday to a fate he never anticipated. While most of his peers receive talents that are average or slightly above, Sirius's blessings seem underwhelming at first—until he discovers a hidden talent, "Predation," a rare and powerful SSS-ranked ability that allows him to absorb the abilities of those he defeats.



Determined to change his fate and become strong and powerful, Sirius begins his journey in the shadows, venturing into the abandoned ruins beyond the city walls to hunt beasts and monsters.



But the path of a predator is not one without peril. In a world where strength reigns supreme and enemies lurk in every shadow, Sirius must rise above them all or risk being devoured by the very world he seeks to conquer.



As he collects their talents and strengthens his own, he uncovers the dark mysteries of his world—and the truth behind the catalysm.
