SSS System: The Echo Reaper

In a world ruled by power, Kael Riven has none.



Labeled a System Ghost—a failure unworthy of Ascension—Kael is left to rot in the slums of Arcadia, scraping together coin just to feed his sick little brother. While other Ascendants rise through ranks with flashy abilities and powerful guilds, Kael is invisible. Forgotten.



Until a job gone wrong traps him in a forbidden Rift Dungeon—one no one should’ve survived.



Bleeding, broken, and abandoned, Kael awakens something ancient. Something wrong. A voice echoes in his mind.

[ERROR] Protocol Override: Echo Detected.

Welcome, Reaper.



Now bonded to a system that shouldn’t exist—the Echo Protocol—Kael can steal the abilities of the dead, rewrite skills, and bend the rules that bind every other Ascendant.



But power comes with a price—and enemies, both human and inhuman, are closing in fast.



He was supposed to be a nobody.

Now he’s the system’s greatest glitch.

And he’s done running.
