Chronicles of the Reforged God
Kaelen Veridian dies at sixty-five as the weakest Awakened in history—an F-rank “Blank” mocked by every race and discarded during the apocalyptic Void War. When the world crumbles and humanity falls, a final act of defiance triggers an impossible reaction: Kaelen accidentally copies a fragment of the sealed Creator’s divine artifact, granting him a second chance.
He awakens fifty years in the past, on the day of his greatest humiliation at the Astral Peak Academy, young again—but still F-rank, with no class, no backing, and no visible skill. Yet the artifact’s intelligence, Machina, has fused with his soul and reveals the truth: Kaelen is the chosen Successor Vessel of the dead God, tasked to ascend and stop the Void Incursion before it begins.
His lost SSS-rank ability reemerges in a new form: Adaptive Mimicry, a divine law disguised as a trash skill, capable of permanently copying abilities, traits, concepts, and eventually Authorities. To wield it, Kaelen must rebuild his frail body, subvert the academy’s hierarchy, and navigate a world that once crushed him—armed now with future knowledge, a ruthless survivor’s resolve, and a machine intelligence built to forge gods.
But altering fate is never simple. Every mimicry creates ripples. Every divergence awakens predators that never noticed him in the first timeline—ancient clans, demi-god bloodlines, angels forged of light, demons of causality, and the remnants of the Creator’s enemies. The Void stirs earlier. The timeline destabilizes. The path of Ascension demands sacrifices no mortal was meant to bear.
From academy gutters to divine battlegrounds, Kaelen must steal the building blocks of divinity, one fragmented skill at a time—until the weakest Blank stands as the last line between creation and annihilation.
He once lived as a failure.
Now he must rise as a god.
