In a world where combat rank determines everything, Chen Mo is a good-for-nothing everyone agrees is destined to remain F-rank for life. Then one day, after a high-ranked fighter beats him to the brink of death, he accidentally discovers his secret: every time he comes close to dying, his body undergoes an incredible evolution.
His bizarre gift, “the worse the injuries, the faster the growth,” gives the F-rank boy everyone looks down on a glimmer of hope. But it also means he must constantly teeter on the edge of life and death: he has to endure potentially fatal injuries to grow stronger, while hiding a secret that could turn the world upside down from the high-ranked fighters watching him.
When A-rank powerhouses see him as an ant, and S-rank legends dismiss him, no one knows what kind of transformation this battered boy is undergoing. From underground prizefights to forbidden wilderness zones, from urban ruins to mutant beast lairs, Chen Mo carves out an unprecedented path of evolution in blood.
“They think F-rank is the end of the road for me? No. It’s just the starting point of my evolution.”
