Simulation Ascension

Taeyong, a 16-year-old high school freshman, has always lived an ordinary life. Struggling to make ends meet in a lower-middle-class family, he blends into the background—until the day he stands up for his bullied best friend. What begins as a simple act of defiance quickly spirals into a dangerous rivalry with the school’s most ruthless bullies. Powerless and outmatched, Taeyong is given an impossible choice: fight or back down. When all seems lost, Taeyong’s fate changes with the mysterious gift of an ancient artifact passed down by his grandfather. The artifact unlocks a strange and powerful system that simulates potential futures—allowing Taeyong to experience and learn from countless realities. With this new power, he can strengthen his body, master combat skills, and defy the limits of his once-average existence. But the system’s power comes with a price. As Taeyong’s strength grows, so do the dangers around him. The more he relies on the simulations, the more the lines between reality and illusion blur. He must face not only the bullies but also dark forces linked to his grandfather’s past—forces that seek the artifact for themselves. Simulation Ascension is a thrilling tale of growth, struggle, and the price of power. Will Taeyong ascend to become the person he was always meant to be? Or will the simulations trap him in a world he can’t escape?
