Elias had never been lucky — not once, not ever.

Abandoned at birth, raised in suffering, and tormented by a life that never gave him a break, Elias trudged through existence like a ghost wearing human skin. By the age of thirty-two, even his heart gave out, quietly and without drama — just like everything else in his life. It simply… stopped.

But death wasn’t the end.

Instead, Elias found himself face-to-face with a stunning goddess — the Keeper of Fate. And for the first time, someone finally told him the truth: his entire life had been a mistake. A cosmic error. His Karma, meant for another, had been switched at birth, condemning him to a life of endless misfortune.

To make amends, Fate offered him a second chance — a new life, with the luck he had been denied.

With a single pull from the divine card deck, Elias drew the Legendary Extraction Talent — an ability that allows him to absorb powers, skills, and even laws of the world itself.

From a broken man to a rising force, Elias will forge a new path.

He will extract the power of heaven and earth.

He will defy fate and ascend to the apex.

And this time… luck is finally on his side.
