Ascend Alone

In a world where dungeons appear across the globe, humanity relies on Awakened Hunters to clear them. Kairo Tanaka is a Rank-F, the weakest of the weak, mocked and used as dungeon bait. But when a hidden S-Rank dungeon awakens beneath Tokyo, Kairo is the only survivor—and he awakens with a new system no one else has: The Echo Protocol, a mysterious power that allows him to copy the abilities of enemies he defeats.



But there’s a cost. Every Echo he absorbs chips away at his humanity. As Kairo grows stronger, monsters start whispering his name, and powerful guilds and governments begin to take notice.
