Synopsis
In a world where magic and ancient systems govern life and death, Kaito wakes as the weakest nobody in a city ruled by ruthless powers and deadly secrets. Haunted by a mysterious system that watches his every move—and the dead who whisper warnings—he must survive relentless enemies, brutal trials, and his own doubts. As Kaito climbs from powerless to overpowered, he uncovers dark truths hidden in the shadows of the city, where survival means more than strength—it means mastering the system before it chooses to erase him. Will he break free from the fate watching over the dead, or become another forgotten soul in a world where only the strongest live?
