About this story
Cyrus fell into the abyss, and came back.
Cyrus has spent thousands of hours fighting, grinding out the rifts that plague Earth's new era. But he's never been allowed to learn a single skill, advance a single level. Whenever a skill has crystallized for him, that skill has been physically torn out of his body and sold to a citizen of the new world. Because Cyrus is riftborn, dungeon trash, the lowest of the low.
But when a fall into the rift's center leaves him stranded on an alien planet, Cyrus has a chance to change his fate. Because the lifetime of scars, humiliation, and life-or-death battles have left him prepared to survive by any means necessary. Surrounded by enemies, his existence as a rift-walker a secret, Cyrus will find his way home. Because nobody understands the System's games better. And nobody else has the power over the rifts that he does.
In his right hand, he holds the strongest skill: Singularity.
What to expect:
+ Weak to Strong with a Powerful Starting Ability
+ Mixed Morality Protagonist
+ Creative Combat Utilizing Skills
