Mana, magic power, supernatural abilities.
Jay, like many others, had often wondered what it would be like to wield such incredible powers. To stand above all and be invincible.
Still, what if we were really given such an opportunity? Would it be a blessing or a calamity?
Nobody knew. Until that fateful day, when the system came.

It was that simple announcement that changed everything. Cities fell. Monsters rose all around the world. Wealth became meaningless, replace by stats, skills and talent.
And humans, they became prey, scrambling to understand the new reality forced upon them.
As for Jay, this was all too clear. While others were panicking, he simply accepted this new reality.
He didn’t care if it was a dream or a nightmare. All he knew was that from now strength reigned supreme. It was the key to survival.
But this wasn’t just about survival. This was a race to the top.
