About this story

In a modern Korea where 15% of humanity awakens as Manaborn, rifts tear open, spilling monsters; and opportunity. The strong rise as Rifters, earning fame, power, and a chance at a life beyond fear. And those who can't? They get swallowed by the world. Sam Jimin, a poor orphan scraping by the outskirts of Seoul, never expected much from life. Bullied and ignored, he pinned his hopes on a miracle during his Awakening; anything to escape the bottom. He didn’t get one. His official result: Rank E-1. No skills. A dead end. But hidden behind the humiliating rank was something no one had ever seen before. A Unique Skill : Skillmaster The ability to create and edit skills - at a cost of LP, only he can pay. With nothing left to lose, he decides to gamble everything on this skill. From the shadows of society to the brutal world of academies, guild politics, and rising threats; he fights to carve out his place; skill by skill, battle by battle. Because in a world ruled by talent and bloodline… A boy with nothing, is about to build everything. What to expect: - Expect some slice of life. - Slow-earned progression , solid system. - Situation based skill creation. - Strategic battles. - No Harem. - Generic start, but gets better and unique after 20 chapters. So, please endure till then. Discord link: https://discord.gg/3peWBq2KbJ
