"Your ability rating is C-rank: Enhanced Perception."
For three years, Lin Yan had received the same result at every reassessment.
He could hear a cat purring three streets away, but couldn't move a sheet of paper. A textbook useless ability.
His younger sister, Lin Xinyan, was an S-rank "Mindweaver," admired by everyone,
while he was her "good-for-nothing brother," one of the lowest beings in a world of the ability-less.
That was until the day three Shadow Beasts tore through the city's night sky.
In a split-second struggle for survival, Lin Yan reached out instinctively.
Time rewound five seconds. The battlefield reset. Everyone stared in stunned silence.
As blood ran from his nose, a group of black-clad "Gatekeepers" appeared at his door:
"Mr. Lin Yan, you are the world's only Z-rank 'Nullifier.'"
"Your dormant power is the key to opening or closing the 'Zero-Energy Gate.'"
"And beyond that gate... lies the truth behind your parents' disappearance."
As the ancient gate began to tremble and every faction bared its fangs,
Lin Yan had to face his past and future:
Would he seal away forever a power capable of overturning the world,
or embrace the fate of the 'Nullifier' and seek a third path between destruction and rebirth?
