Taken by cold

Apple_Pie_2920
Some hearts freeze to protect themselves. Others, to forget what warmth once felt like. Odette Throne never needed anyone. Or so she told herself. Emotionally distant and disillusioned by the toxicity of her home, Odette leaves everything behind—her country, her family, and every piece of her past—for a quiet college life abroad. She isn’t here to make friends. She isn’t here to belong. She’s here to be alone—on purpose. But then she meets him. Frost Ashford—sharp-tongued, equally guarded, and as cold as the snow-covered city they now call home. From the moment they cross paths, their silent battles begin—icy glances, indifferent conversations, and a strange magnetic pull neither of them can fully ignore. As their worlds reluctantly begin to intertwine, Odette finds herself confronting a truth she’s long buried: it’s not loneliness she craves, but understanding. But Frost has his own walls. And sometimes, love doesn’t melt cold hearts—it breaks them. Taken by the Cold is a slow-burning story about two souls who’ve grown used to silence, learning that sometimes, the right kind of quiet can feel like home.

I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Across the vast convolution of worlds, divine beings rule as absolute sovereigns—each god assigned dominion over a singular realm. Skirmishes are inevitable, whether for power, amusement, or sheer pettiness. One such battle, between Nexus, the God of Trickery, and an aging, senile deity, resulted in an anomaly… A soul misplaced. Elliot, an ordinary man, was never meant for Ul’Tra-el. But fate, or perhaps a cosmic prank, had other plans. Unlike other worlds, Ul’Tra-el is an aberration—one that developed a voice. A voice that diverged from the natural order. A voice that changed everything. Its foundation cracked, leaking dimensions into one another. Rifts tore open like festering wounds, vomiting forth unspeakable horrors—monsters not meant to exist. But the world did not sit idly by. In response—perhaps an act of self-preservation—the world gifted its inhabitants power. Talents awakened, granting people extraordinary abilities. And for every rift sealed, the Voice of Ul rewarded them generously. Survival was simple: fight, grow stronger, and close the rifts… or die trying. In this ruthless, blood-soaked reality, Northern—a white-haired boy burdened by his past life—was reincarnated. But unlike the chosen heroes, he awakened as a talentless nobody. No power. No strength. No future. And when death loomed over him—when despair clawed at his soul and the cold grip of the failure threatened to take him— A Voice responded: [System Notice] [Your Soul cannot take a form.] [Searching for a Unique Pattern Ability…] [Searching…] [Search Found.] [A Unique System Ability has been detected.] [You Can Copy And Evolve Talents] ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.
