Damigod

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.

SSS-Rank Talent: Super Upgrade System

The Palm Wine was as delicious as Olenna had promised, sweet and fragrant with a deceptively smooth finish.

Seeing their captain take a sip, Ayra and Lia felt slightly more convinced that it was safe to drink.

Lia, persuaded by Olenna's gentle insistence, took a small, polite sip.

Ayra, on the other hand, downed her entire cup in one enthusiastic gulp, then held it out for a refill with a hearty laugh.

"Wow, that's good stuff! You weren't kidding, Olenna!" Ayra declared, her cheeks already slightly flushed.

Daniel watched, maintaining a calm expression as he finished his own cup.

He could feel the soporific agent in the wine beginning to work, a faint, pleasant numbness spreading through his limbs.

However, his default SSS-Rank [Poison Immunity] and his immense Vitality attribute were already fighting back, neutralizing the drug's effects almost as quickly as it entered his system.
