The world was forever changed by the emergence of mana. Humanity split into two paths: those who awakened to its power, gaining superhuman abilities and becoming known as "Awakened," and those who remained unchanged, vulnerable to the mana-infused air that now choked the planet. To survive, mankind erected magical barriers around their cities, powered by mana stones mined from the earth. The Awakened ventured beyond the safety of these barriers, battling monstrous creatures that emerged from dimensional rifts and scavenging for resources. Jay, an orphan, toiled in the mines, his life deemed less valuable than the stones he extracted. At nineteen, a cave-in ended his short, harsh existence. But fate had other plans. He awoke reborn, not in the mines, but on a small, idyllic island, a mysterious system at his disposal. This system allowed him to trade his catches of fish for incredible rewards: experience points, stat boosts, even fantastical abilities. As Jay grows stronger, he discovers a shocking truth: he's not on some alien world, but on Earth. The island's air is not toxic, there are no monstrous beasts around. What happened in his absence? Driven by a thirst for answers and a desire to never again be weak, Jay embarks on a journey to uncover the secrets of this new world and forge his own destiny.
