The Sol: I Ascend Using System In Game-Like Arenas

Author here. If you're wondering whether Sol is the right webnovel for you, here’s a quick breakdown while answering some common questions. 1. Does it have a harem? No. Sol focuses on character-driven storytelling, worldbuilding, and intense conflicts. Romance may exist, but it won’t overshadow Raen’s journey or become a harem-style story. 2. What kind of MC is Raen? Raen Solmere is a smart, determined protagonist shaped by tragedy. After his village is destroyed and he’s forced into a deadly Sol ritual, he must survive the Divine Trials of Sol—where participants fight, outwit, and betray each other to ascend in power. Unlike reckless protagonists, Raen relies on intelligence, strategy, and adaptability, making him a survivor first and a fighter second. 3. What’s the story about? Sol follows Raen’s struggle to survive and uncover the truth behind the Divine Trials, the gods manipulating them, and the hidden history of Sol itself. Betrayals, shifting alliances, and brutal battles define his path as he learns that power isn’t just about strength—it’s about understanding the system, the world, and the people in it. 4. How deep is the worldbuilding? Veyra is a vast, multi-layered world divided into five interconnected Veins. Each Vein has distinct cultures, environments, and power structures, all influenced by Sol—a mysterious force that can be harnessed through rituals, technology, or belief. Gods, factions, and hidden truths shape the world, making it more than just a backdrop but an active force in the story. 5. How does the power system work? The power system revolves around Sol manipulation and the Conduit Ascension system—a structured path toward godhood. Individuals can shape Sol through Transmutations, making combat highly creative. The Divine Trials force participants to battle in randomized arenas, where success depends on strategy, resourcefulness, and alliances rather than raw power alone. If you like smart protagonists, intricate worldbuilding, and high-stakes survival, Sol is for you.
