Chapter 1: Death of a Nobody
Arun's life ended quietly—no achievements, no memories worth keeping. A weak body chained him to hospital beds while others lived freely. As the machine flatlined, his last thought wasn't regret, but anger.
"If I had another chance… I wouldn't stay weak."
Darkness swallowed him whole.
Chapter 2: Rebirth of the Weakest
He woke to a cracked wooden ceiling and a body far too small. Panic hit when he saw his reflection—he was a child, barely six. Memories flooded in. This body belonged to Rin, an orphan in the Astra Realm, known as useless and talentless.
Reborn weak again.
Then a blue screen appeared.
SSS-Rank Skill Unlocked: Void Assimilation.
Arun smiled for the first time in years.
Chapter 3: Power That Feeds on Pain
Void Assimilation allowed him to absorb damage, energy, and even failure—turning it into growth. But the system warned him: his body was fragile. Power taken too fast would kill him.
"That's fine," Arun whispered. "I know how to endure."
He began training in secret.
Chapter 4: Nights of Silent Growth
Every night, Arun sat behind the orphan hut, absorbing traces of mana from the air. The pain felt like fire crawling through his bones, but he welcomed it.
Others slept.
He evolved.
Bit by bit, his senses sharpened. His weak body adapted. No one noticed the change—yet.
Chapter 5: The First Blood
Village bullies cornered him near the forest, laughing as they shoved him into the dirt. One punch landed hard against his ribs.
Pain surged.
And vanished.
Void Assimilation activated.
Arun stood up calmly and broke the boy's wrist with a single movement. The others ran in terror, whispering rumors of a "cursed child."
Arun realized something important.
He was no longer prey.
Chapter 6: A Calamity Descends
A Shadowfang Wolf emerged from the forest one evening, its killing intent freezing the village in fear. Guards panicked. Villagers fled.
Arun didn't.
The beast attacked.
Claws tore into his body, bones cracking as he was thrown aside. Blood soaked the ground.
Critical Condition Detected. Forced Evolution Initiated.
Chapter 7: The Anomaly Awakens
Pain disappeared.
Arun rose to his feet as dark energy coiled around him. His eyes glowed faint silver. The wolf hesitated—too late.
One punch shattered the air.
The monster collapsed lifeless.
Silence filled the village as everyone stared at the bloodied child standing alone.
The system chimed.
Title Earned: The Anomaly.
Chapter 8: Eyes Turn Toward Him
From that day, the village elders watched Arun carefully. Guards whispered. Travelers spoke of a child who killed a monster barehanded.
Arun acted weak in public, hiding his strength.
But at night, he trained harder than ever.
Because he knew—
Strong eyes had noticed him.
Chapter 9: The Awakening Test
At age seven, Arun was taken to the regional awakening ceremony. Nobles mocked him. Instructors laughed when they saw his thin frame.
When his hand touched the crystal—
It cracked.
Alarms blared. The hall froze.
The device couldn't measure him.
Fear replaced laughter.
Chapter 10: A Path That Defies Fate
That night, Arun stood alone under the stars.
"I won't be a hero," he whispered. "I won't be a villain."
The system flashed one final message.
Main Quest Unlocked: Rewrite the Laws of Power.
Arun clenched his fist.
This world had labeled him weak twice.
This time—
He would break it.
