In Imperial Year 1247, Lin Yuan, an eighteen-year-old commoner, faces the day his supernatural ability will awaken and determine the course of his life.
Wearing his only decent old outfit, he stands among well-dressed noble youths, so insignificant that no one notices him. The awakening hall in the royal capital is a crossroads that determines every boy’s fate. Ability grades range from S to F, drawing a line between the privileged and the lowly, and even between life and death.
When he steps onto the awakening platform and presses his palm against the crystal, the crystal dome remains completely dark. The appraiser delivers a matter-of-fact verdict: matter manipulation, F-rank, a completely worthless ability.
No one looks his way or mocks him. His failure isn’t even worth gossiping about.
But no one knows this is a lie that has fooled the entire empire.
His ability was never the useless power to break down and rearrange things. It is an unparalleled power that sees the true nature of all things, dismantles any matter or energy, and reshapes it at will. Its rank has no limit, and its potential is boundless!
