He’s got his reasons, but the path ahead won’t be an easy one.Even if he’s lucky enough to become one of the few humans who are granted powers by the extraterrestrial system that’s been running things on Earth for decades, true battlefield support classes are rare, and old-school sidekicks haven’t been popular in years.But Alden’s got determination on his side...and maybe a murderous demon, too.***** This story has stats, but they don’t appear in the early chapters. This is a slow burning story. It’s character-driven. It will be long.**The protagonist is a child in the first chapter, but he will be in his mid to late teens for most of the story. Lots of violence. Some darkness. This is fiction for adults and/or young adults.**It will update once or twice a week once I burn through my backlog. Please consider supporting with a follow.

And I want it to be a life that’s worth living. How does that sound?”“What does ‘worth living’ mean?” Stuart asked solemnly.“Not endlessly shitty and full of horror,” said Alden. “Joyful. A lot of the time. I really need it to be that, or I’m not going to be strong enough to do anything at all.” This is what this novel is about, it’s about a normal person with normal needs and goals. This is what makes this novel stand out so much and makes you feel connected to MC. One of the best novels I’ve read, truly a masterpiece! Really good novel with a proper lawful good good-oriented MC, around the age of 15... Don't expect too much OPness, at least in the beginning, and also no Xianxia cultivation-like character who only cares about 'benefits'. The book is a modern novel, with modern mindset characters and a proper story. The majority of ranobes audience won't like this, saying how MC is weak, or how there is no big-brain giga Chad planning and scheming. This novel is NOT of that genre. Think more along the lines of a slice-of-life action novel. Superhero dynamics has been overhyped by the intro and doesn't play much role, YET... Will have more focus in the future but more largescale things are happening than Earth's superhero dynamic. Give it a try, its along the lines of Mother of Learning and The Wandering Inn. One of my fav books rn.PS- free to read on Royal Road, books pirated here may have formatting issue as well as typos which were later fixed by author. This to say this not a trash, "read cause I'm bored and need filler novel". This is potentially a future great. While you might want to let it cook for a while longer (despite it being ~1000 pages already) .when you do get around to it I think you will greatly enjoy it. To be prepared though its a slowburner so don't expect anything approaching instant gratification or constant "numbers going up" styled goings on. Instead you can expect a coherently crafted world, and challenges to the characters that leave behind realistic scars and consequences. Not to say the story is grimdark or emo, but much like say, The Wandering Inn, those tragedies, and sadness are as much a part of the human condition as the happy, or diligently training ones, and thus also present in the novel as appropriate to telling a compelling Story. I like this novel sadly something has gone wrong and you cannot read a good bit of the things that other people say when it's said through the system so that sucks Big meh novel. Only read to 24 and while it has potential, it’s been fairly boring so far. MC has little power, and little ability to gain power. Could see the author trying to leverage his niche abilities into OPness but it’s a st This captivating story features game system, leveling up, system rewards and delivers an unforgettable reading experience.
