Anything that does not kill me makes me stronger.

I was an orphan. I didn’t know why, though. "Surely, my parents must’ve left as soon as I was born,"

Thankfully, the orphanage I grew up in supported me through my school years. After that, I was on my own. It wasn’t an ideal life, but it wasn’t terrible either. I had my own ways to cope. When someone bullied me at school, I had novels. When they made fun of me, I had mangas. What could a scrawny, malnourished boy like me even do?

When I grew up, I got a simple job, living the life of an ordinary background character.

Then, some damn robber decided to shoot me. Funny enough, I couldn’t be more thankful to him.

Somehow, I reincarnated into a modern fantasy world. As someone who had read plenty of novels, I was sure I’d awaken a powerful skill, so I used the awakening stone. Soon, I realized I wasn’t the only overpowered person—there were others like me as well.

While I hunted monsters, made good connections, and conquered dungeons, the "Tower of Trials" suddenly manifested, bringing about the second apocalypse.

Infinite Adaptation in the Apocalypse

"Hey, you..." Riyujin said, pointing in my direction.

"Me?" I asked, glancing around at the tense hunters surrounding me.

"Yeah, you. I know you're faking it," he said with the same lazy expression.

"I'm really not faking. These guys just won't let me go," I shrugged, feigning defeat.

In an instant, I appeared beside Riyujin, his firm grip on my shoulder.

"That was...fast," I muttered, realizing how effortlessly he had snatched me from the enemy hunters.

Seeing me near Riyujin, the hostile hunters tensed, immediately assuming battle stances.

With a single swipe of his spear, he shattered the cuffs on my wrists and then....he observed me.

"I'm free," I said, raising my mana.

The moment my mana surged, the atmosphere grew heavy with tension. Every hunter stiffened, preparing for combat.

"Let's clean this mess up and be done with it," Riyujin said as his mana flared, radiating a deep green hue.
