Conscious Descent
In a world where the ability to clear dungeons is a rite of passage and the source of great power, Avince is an anomaly. Born into a family of advanced awakeners with extraordinary abilities—his mother controls ice, his father summons monsters, and his sister possesses a unique combination of both—Avince is the only one without a powerful gift. At 13, he failed his "Advanced Awakening," the pivotal moment when a young person inherits the powerful abilities of both parents. Now, nearly 19, Avince faces the rare and unpredictable "Anomalous Awakening," a mysterious and volatile process that could either grant him an incredible power or curse him with something dangerous.
While his peers have long surpassed him in strength, Avince has spent years working tirelessly to catch up. No matter how hard he trains, his results are always half of what he expects. But on the day of his awakening, he hopes for something that will finally allow him to stand alongside his family and friends—something to make up for the lost time. What he receives, however, is far from ordinary.
As Avince experiments with his new powers, he uncovers hidden truths about the world around him—secrets tied to the dungeons, the mana that fuels their existence, and the abilities that shape everything. Can he master his newfound strength, or will the unpredictable nature of his awakening prove too much to control?
Join Avince on a journey to discover his place in a world defined by power, family, and the dangerous unknown, where every twist and turn leads to even greater mysteries.
