“What you sacrifice is what you become.” In a world where power is carved from curses, contracts, and forbidden rituals, one boy offers everything—his name, his soul, and even the right to breathe freely—in exchange for a single truth: why was he spared when everyone else died? Born with nothing but a cursed mark and a forgotten past, he awakens a system unlike any other—one that doesn’t reward strength, but sacrifice, intelligence, and will. Each technique comes at a cost. Each domain reflects the deepest scars. And in this world, names have power—but his is missing. Thrust into a fractured world of cursed relics, hidden factions, and divine laws long broken, he must navigate twisted exorcist guilds, unstable allies, and ancient beings that feed on despair. Every choice he makes echoes with consequences. Every power he gains is a step closer to losing himself. But he is not here to be a hero. He is not here to be saved. He is here to burn the system to the ground—and remake it in the image of those he lost. --------------------------------------------------- Perfect for fans of: Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, Jujutsu Kaisen, Shadow Slave, Reverend Insanity.
