Weakness is a prison. The book is the key. But every power has a price written in blood.

Park Jin-ho knows what it means to be invisible. Orphaned, bullied, and forged in the cold silence of a world that’s forgotten him, he’s mastered the art of survival: keep your head down, your fists clenched, and your hopes buried. But when a strange, ancient tome appears in a dusty bookstore’s shadows—its pages blank to everyone but him—Jin-ho’s life fractures.

The book adapts.

Need to fight? It teaches him taekwondo with flawless precision. Need to escape? It sharpens his senses into blades. Skills pour into his mind like water, transforming his frail body and frayed confidence into something dangerous. Something unrecognizable. Yet with every skill learned, the book’s cryptic warnings grow darker. Hostile presence detected. Threat level: Unknown.

But Jin-ho isn’t the only one hunting power.

As he claws his way from prey to predator, shadowed figures stalk the edges of his life—men who move like ghosts, whose eyes gleam with unnatural hunger. They want the tome. And they’ll carve through anyone, even a broken boy turned weapon, to claim it.

In a world where power is a curse dressed as salvation, Jin-ho must decide:
Is mastering every skill worth losing himself?
Or will the book’s final lesson be his death?

Perfect for fans of Solo Leveling and Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, this dark, adrenaline-fueled saga explores:

A protagonist who evolves from vulnerable underdog to calculating force.
A ruthless "system" that gifts power at a hidden cost.
A hidden world of ancient forces and modern predators.
The thin line between becoming a hero… or a monster.
