In a world that was once peaceful, everything changed after a blue meteor fell to earth.
From the fractured sky, portals to other worlds emerged—and with them, monsters.
Civilization nearly collapsed. Cities burned. Humanity was slaughtered.
But the world didn't truly end.
Slain monsters dropped crystal stones that came to be known as mana stones. Rare materials with extraordinary energy. Enough to revive the economy. Enough to build weapons. Enough to create hope.
Over time, more portals opened. And more humans... changed.
They awakened superpowers. The world called them Awakeners.
Every awakener has a rank. Every rank can be raised—through raids, achievements, training, and real combat.
All of that applies... except for Ken.
His ability is called Ultra Reaction. A super-fast reaction that surpasses normal humans.
But his reaction is too fast.
His muscles could never keep up with his brain.
No matter how hard he trains. No matter how strong his stamina. No matter how good his combat technique.
Still impossible.
Because the human body has limits.
Ken is at risk of being demoted. Losing his awakener status. Becoming ordinary.
But he has no choice.
He must pass the final exam.
For money. For his sister's treatment, who has been in a coma since a monster attack five years ago.
And for something darker.
Revenge.
Ohhho
