Cosmic-Ascension

A century ago, Earth was forever changed when a mysterious cosmic emissary arrived, foretelling the collapse of a protective artifact that shielded the solar system from the wider universe. When it fell, cosmic energy—an otherworldly force akin to mana—flooded the Earth, opening gateways to dungeons and new dimensions. Humanity was thrown into chaos, but this cosmic energy also provided them with the ability to evolve and gain powers like mythical heroes. A brutal century passed, and humans ascended to become a Tier 5 race, one of the fastest-growing forces in the universe. However, their meteoric rise has not gone unnoticed by older, more powerful races. Yaroslav, a powerless orphan, has struggled to survive in this unforgiving new world. Attending the prestigious yet brutal Celestial Springs School, he is relentlessly bullied and humiliated for being stuck at level 1. Despite his best efforts, he remains unable to level up, leaving him desperate and hopeless. One night, in his darkest moment, Yaroslav hears a cold, distant voice whisper in his mind, "You seek power, do you not?" Without hesitation, and driven by desperation, he responds, "Yes." Unbeknownst to him, this fateful decision will unlock a mysterious power far beyond his understanding. The cosmic force that answers him is ancient, dark, and incomprehensible—one that will mold him into something far more terrifying than he could have ever imagined. As Yaroslav embarks on a path of ruthless self-discovery, he will face trials that will break him, reshape him, and ultimately challenge the very fabric of his humanity. Caught between his desire for revenge and the weight of an unknown destiny, Yaroslav must navigate a treacherous path that could either lead him to ascend as a legendary figure of power—or lose himself entirely to the void.
