Solo Ascendant
Rifts, known as “Domains,” appear worldwide, spilling monsters that wreak havoc on humanity. Only Hunters—humans blessed with supernatural abilities—can enter these Domains and defeat the beasts within.
Raine Asher, a lowly E-rank Hunter, is known as "Dead Weight" by his peers. Mocked and underestimated, Raine is forced to join dangerous raids to scrape together money to survive. During one ill-fated raid in a high-level Domain, Raine is abandoned by his team and left to die when they encounter an unranked Rift Boss.
As he faces certain death, Raine awakens an ancient, sentient system—the "Sovereign's Codex"—which binds him to the power of shadows. The system doesn’t grant him instant strength but provides him with the tools to earn it through relentless effort and mastery of his new abilities.
Armed with the Codex, Raine rises from obscurity. He becomes a one-man army, conquering Domains solo, gaining fame, and drawing the attention of powerful allies and enemies alike. But as he grows stronger, he uncovers the dark truth behind the Domains: they are prisons for ancient Sovereigns, and humanity’s fate is a pawn in their endless war.
Raine vows to break free of their control, forging his destiny through unyielding determination, and proving that true strength comes from within.
