Facing extinction, humanity seeks salvation in the Astral Verge, a dangerous dimension accessed via portals that threatened to wipe out the entire planet.
Few years later, aspiring recruit Daniel Vance enters the Verge for his final assessment, hoping to Awaken a Talent and secure his future. While others gain common abilities, Daniel secretly Awakens the mythical SSS-Grade Talent: [Soul Assimilation]. This allows him to absorb essence, enhancing gear, gaining stats and EXP from slain creatures, and crucially, absorbing attributes and skills from fallen Awakened.
Witnessing the swift death of the arrogant Jaxon Rex, Daniel makes a grim choice: he assimilates Jaxon, gaining his first skill, [Kinetic Pulse]. This sets his path: scavenging the aftermath of others’ battles. He enhances gear and, after achieving his first kill on an injured beast, waits patiently to assimilate two more fallen recruits, acquiring [Quick Step] and the invaluable passive [Aura Sense].
Starting as average, Daniel rapidly gains power in secret, enhanced gear, multiple skills, and boosted stats , far exceeding his peers while remaining outwardly unremarkable. He navigates the lethal Verge alone, using its inherent dangers to fuel his growth, wrestling with the moral cost of his unique, overwhelming power.
You don't want to miss the battle of the gods!! (chapter 98-101)! Absolute masterpiece!
The fight scenes are explained in detail as if you were seeing a movie. Very interesting and promising novel. I bet you'd love it!
This novel is gripping! It's Starship Troopers meets Shadow Slave, on the more sci-fi end of system novels and has a great and unique power system for the MC. Honestly, so refreshing. I'm sure this one is gonna blow up, as an absolute hidden gem, but I hope more chapters get dropped soon. Keep it up! 👍
Great book, currently at the latest chapter (Chapter 12) The book is amazing filled with nonstop back to back action, similar to evolution stories but not quite, i highly recommend this book
The consistency of power ups is flawed. And with all the stats he accumulated. he should have 1 shot even level 20 foes. his stats is hundreds compare to before which is 10.. assimilation number is also flawed.
This book is awesome! ! I love how the fight scenes are explained. The sense of humor in this book is on another level!
I'm in chapter 90 , and I'm loving this book already !
The action scenes are pretty good and the story has potential but im very confused when reading other reviews because almost non of them point out a blatant flaw. This story changes small details frequently throughout every chapter. The main characters ability charges are inconsistent and he just gains/loses them almost randomly without explanation and between chapter 42/43 there is just an obvious cut/rewriting that feels like the author just didnt think through what they wanted to write. Dont get me wrong im intrigued and like the power fantasy but the inconsitencies kinda ruin the whole immersion and just become frustrasting to notice every other chapter.
The novel shows real potential, but the first ten chapters are riddled with inconsistencies. One of the most glaring issues is the mishandling of the Charges of Assimilation—it's enough to make you want to bang your head against a wall. The narrative stumbles over its own lore, undermining the worldbuilding that could otherwise be compelling. With stronger continuity and better attention to internal logic, this story could truly shine. But as it stands, these early chapters need serious revision to meet the promise the premise holds.
Get more chapters out! This book is so nice. Good one author
I really love this book. I'm so curious to know how this story would end!
The story tickles my curiosity and The MC had my attention. What happens next is all im wondering at the end of each chapter. Damn this book for being so good!!!
Pretty good novel I give u that.. very detail, fights are nice, but please don’t make feel guilty like that in chapter 49 after all he been through and did to get strong.. really make no sense for that 😭
Read up to chapter 53 and everything was perfect but now… MC decision to join a team is stupid. Why did author make this type of novel with a rapid advancement OP system if he was just going to stick hulk with a party that shackles him. I hope that this party shit is just for the current phase and he goes back to soloing everything by himself soon.
a hidden gem, came here looking for some gold and found the diamond in the rough. Author u r doing great, just dont stop writing.
