No. 7: A Nation With out a King

tommyC
At the edge of a world entering the Age of Ability Users, Freetown stands as a refuge for the gifted—quiet on the surface, turbulent underneath. Seven, a weapon-type ability user created in a laboratory and long believed dead, moves alone through the city’s shadows. He rescues a rampaging teenage boy, Jim, and silently wipes out loan-shark strongholds—unaware that every step is part of Lucian’s design. Lucian, wielder of the sky-blue power Azure, seeks nothing less than the creation of a nation ruled by ability users. Through dungeon trials and real combat alike, Seven gradually reveals his unique six-tier ability system: enhanced physique, telepathy, telekinesis, barriers… and beyond them, a forbidden power capable of reshaping the world itself. His return threatens to overturn Freetown’s fragile order and stirs a hidden current between gods and humanity. When the king awakens, the rules of the world will never be the same.

Symbiote Ascension Chronicle

On a planet fractured by living meteorites, Monoliths beat like alien hearts and spit spores capable of merging with any being. Ten archetypes of power—from the ferocious Beastophages to the unfathomable Conceptophages—vie for bearers to feed them… or unleash them. Humanity responds by creating the Ten-Tier Adventurer System, a hierarchy where each rank (Dust → Obelisk) is a fragment of a Monolith that promises glory, fortune… and madness. Raiko Vernier, a scrap metal dealer from the slums, seeks only the Catalyst Wax that will keep his ailing sister alive. But everything changes when he enters Élan Chamber-0 and awakens Aureos, an extremely rare Luxophage that feeds on light… and human will. The fusion marks Raiko with the lowest Dust Tier, but also grants him a forbidden power: stealing the hope of others to become invisible. Now Raiko is the target of: The Watchtower Alliance, which plans to dissect him to predict the next Synchronous Pulse. The Umbra Brotherhood, whose black market pays fortunes for a living Luxophage. The Monolith Senate, convinced that Raiko is the key to solving the equation etched in all the vaults: 0 = 1. As he traverses deadly missions, timeless dungeons, and clan tournaments, each climb brings him closer to the top of Obelisk Tier… and the temptation to devour the light of entire cities. But Raiko discovers an even darker secret: if a single wielder synchronizes all ten archetypes at SSS rank, the world will either reset itself or shatter forever.
