Ethan Cross died in his past life trying to save a stranger. Now, he finds himself reincarnated in [New World], a brutal realm plagued by monstrous Dread Beasts, where only those blessed with the Aether-factor can become Heroes.

But there’s a problem.

Ethan awakens as an E-rank Hero, the lowest tier possible.

With no powerful clan willing to take him in, and the world already dismissing him as dead weight, his future seems hopeless.

Until he unlocks his Innate Talent: Sanctum of Beasts.

A mysterious power hidden deep within him, the Sanctum grants Ethan access to a personal dimension where he can battle infinite waves of Dread Beasts.

 Each kill drops Ability Fragments, and unlike others, Ethan isn't bound by the world’s cruel restrictions—he can absorb them all. Ten abilities. Twenty. Fifty. One hundred abilities and counting.

While other heroes struggle to master their meager skill sets, Ethan becomes a walking arsenal—his power limitless, his potential terrifying.

In a world where strength is law, and death is the price of weakness, Ethan will not just survive.

He’ll become the predator feared by beasts, villains, and gods alike.

He skimmed through the panel quickly, confirming everything was as it should be. Once satisfied, he dismissed the interface and pulled up the mission briefing on his communicator.
