Thirty years after the spirit tide arrived, awakening at eighteen determines your future!
Those rated C or higher get into the academy, guard the rifts, and enjoy a life of privilege. Shen Li, however, awakens the lowest-ranked F-level ability, [Trait Perception], and is mocked as a good-for-nothing by everyone at the center.
His father is missing. The authorities will seize the repair shop in ten days. The old injury in his leg has yet to heal, and all he has left is an admission card that is about to expire. Just when he is at the end of his rope, the psychic energy at the Awakening Center goes out of control!
Black traits invisible to everyone else appear before his eyes. After killing a mutated beast, he forcibly strips off its exclusive trait, [Sprint]!
Its flaws are severe: he can only sprint in a straight line, and turning or stopping abruptly tears his flesh apart. His blank book has only one page, so no amount of resources can help him fit in a second ability.
To protect the only home he has and secure an official place at the academy, Shen Li ventures alone into high-risk Rift 071.
Deep in the mine tunnels lies a lair of the Ashen Order. Missing inspectors, strange writing left behind by his sister, and the words “Don’t let them write you into...” conceal a shocking conspiracy.
The Spirit Stele’s selection of Awakened people was never the will of heaven!
The black fragment in the book’s spine grows hot. The gaze of the mastermind behind the selection has already locked onto his one-of-a-kind blank book!
