In a world where extraordinary abilities—known only as Gifts—exist beyond scientific explanation, those who possess them are called the Gifteds. But human greed knows no bounds. Scientists began experimenting on Gifteds, amplifying their powers and even creating abilities in those born without them, resulting in monstrous creations known as the Abominables. The last group to receive powers artificially, without natural or scientific origin, became the Cursed. Neil knows the pain of being Cursed firsthand. Traumatized by the consequences of his own abilities, he struggles with their destructive potential. Yet, after facing countless trials and deadly encounters, he learns to accept his curse as a gift. Alongside his trusted comrades—each Cursed or Abominable—Neil fights for supremacy, recognition, and a chance at belonging. But the truth behind their world is far greater than they ever imagined, and the path ahead is treacherous. Their journey will test them in ways they could never foresee—and survival is far from guaranteed.

This is a world where the dead conquer the living, where the gods have forsaken humanity, condemning it to its own demise by turning the world into a kingdom-building progression game. Yun Kai, a prince blind from birth is constantly being bullied by his royal siblings and even fellow noble heirs. During a faithful encounter in the mountains, he accidentally shattered a glass ball that changed everything. The glass ball was a mystical artifact sealed by the First World King. This triggered a world-changing event: the entire Desolate Martial World transforms into a game-like system centered on warfare and kingdom building, forcing all the living beings into an era of endless conquest. Fortunately, he acquired rewards that included a God-Level Village Building Token, a Unique Architectural Blueprint, and some additional techniques. Within those rewards is the mysterious Spiritual Ocean Sutra, a cultivation technique that strengthens the practitioner's soul consciousness, spiritual sense, and allows him to devour souls. Still, at a high cost, which is that he will lose a bit of humanity every time he does so, and by the end of the day, nobody could have guessed whether he would be the hero that saves the world, or the demon that destroys it. Relying on his improved instincts as he finally began to cultivate, he realizes a huge conspiracy is underfoot within the Desolate Martial World. In order to solve the mysteries around him, he must rely on his ability and the powerful but baffling Spiritual Ocean Sutra. Countless enemies obstruct him as he attempts to climb to the peak of the cultivation world by creating the most powerful Dynasty. Fate destined him to be nothing but a chess piece, but he would not bow to destiny, or to the will of the heavens.

Awakening Day was supposed to be the beginning of an extraordinary life for Arka. As the student with the highest academic achievements in his school, everyone was certain Arka would awaken a high-class Talent. However, when the measurements appeared, the world mocked him instead. F-Class — Storyteller. A Talent deemed utterly useless. Arka himself had no reason to disagree. Storyteller truly sounded like an ability suited only for creating tales. That was until an incident made him realize that every word he uttered could influence reality—as long as someone believed it. The more people believed, the stronger its influence became. When a monster attacked the city and Arka used a single sentence to save dozens of lives, the government's attention turned directly toward him. Furthermore, Elena, an S-Class Talent holder capable of seeing through lies, discovered something bizarre about Arka. He wasn't lying. Yet his Talent made no sense either. When a re-examination was conducted, the system repeatedly yielded the same result: F-Class. Until a secret message appeared on Arka's system interface. [Classification Failed.] [Talent cannot be measured by the current system.] If Storyteller was truly just an F-Class Talent, why had someone from a mysterious organization been waiting for him for 117 years? And why did they say that Arka's appearance marked the beginning of the collapse of the very system that had defined human worth? Arka might be the weakest Talent in the world. Or perhaps... the world simply didn't have a system high enough to measure him yet.
