Giving Direction

In a world where every soul is bound by destiny threads, one anomaly slips through the weave. Nox awakens in the heart of Astralis Academy, a school governed by the Loom — an ancient system that decides every student’s fate through the Thread Directive. But Nox has no thread. No fate. No future. No right to exist. Marked as a Null-type, he becomes a glitch in a perfect world — a danger, a weapon, a question the system cannot answer. Hunted by factions, tested by brutal trials, and saved only by those who reject the world’s script, Nox must navigate deadly rivalries, cryptic tournaments, and the truth behind the Loom’s purpose. But the threads are unraveling. As Nox dives deeper — into forbidden spires, shattered realities, and the Void between worlds — he discovers a truth the system buried: The Loom wasn’t made to guide fate. It was made to imprison it. And Nox may be the last one who can break the pattern.

This world is sick; both Immortals and mortals suffer from a stubborn ailment known as Longevity. Under the influence of Immortality, various Cultivation Techniques evolve rapidly in grotesque and inexplicable directions. [Fetal Period: A baby is born with shriveled, powerless limbs.] [Childhood: After 20 years, the Internal Organs completely decay.] [Weak Crown Period: At 50 years, the flesh dries and withers.] [Thirty Years Old Stage: After 100 years, the blood runs dry and gives birth to mutations.] I am an Immortal Seeker, and also one seeking survival.

Ethan Yagami, the lazy, gentle, and carefree young master of a powerful noble family, only wants to enjoy life and relax. But on the day of his awakening ceremony, the most cliché thing imaginable happens to him… [Ding! The System is bonding to you.] [Bonding successful! Congratulations, Host! You have awakened: The Divine Benevolence System.] [Please, Host, give more and be more benevolent.] [Because the more you give, the more you shall receive.] Ethan blinks. “…So I’m basically a Saint now?” With a smile as lazy as ever, Ethan realizes his path to power isn’t through grinding or killing monsters—it’s through giving things away. Money? Skills? Weapons? Even trash? As long as he gives selflessly, the rewards return a thousandfold. And so, while the world expects a humble philanthropist, Ethan casually breaks the balance of power, amassing wealth, strength, and influence—all while doing as little work as possible. Because, after all… Why struggle when generosity makes you overpowered?

A word of advice for surviving a place like Schroon Falls: If a ghost offers you a job, take the money. The dead, after all, are famously bad with paperwork. Just be careful. In a town of crumbling manors and modernist cubes, every shadow has an angle and every echo has an agenda. The most convincing hauntings aren’t about the ghosts themselves, but about the person they’ve chosen to speak through. Sanity is negotiable. Rent is not.
