The year was 2026, and the world wasn't what it used to be. Ever since the Abyss Gates cracked open three years ago, spilling monsters and dungeons across the planet, life had turned into a chaotic mess. 

Cities were half-ruined, half-rebuilt, and people clung to whatever normalcy they could find. Hunters—those brave or crazy enough to fight the monsters—became the new heroes. 

Everyone else? Well, they just tried to survive.
Fin wasn't a Hunter. 

He wasn't a hero either.

He was just… Fin. A lanky 19-year-old with messy brown hair, a chipped front tooth from a dumb skateboard accident, and a power that everyone called useless. 

Absorption. 

Sounds cool, right? Like he could suck up energy or steal someone's strength. 

Nope. 

OP Absorption

The trainees were given a short break to recover while the instructors set up for the next test: Speed.

A complex obstacle course snaked across the training field – walls to scale, ropes to swing across, narrow beams to balance on, and finally, a hundred-meter dash to the finish line.

"Speed isn't just about running fast in a straight line," Instructor Henry announced, his voice regaining its usual sternness, though his eyes kept flicking towards Fin.

"It's about agility, control, navigating difficult terrain efficiently. Fastest time through the course wins. Fall, you get a time penalty. Fail to complete an obstacle, you're disqualified from this test. Go!"
