a world forever altered by the emergence of mysterious monoliths and the Awakening of superhuman abilities, seventeen-year-old Max Morgan lives in the shadows of New York, haunted by the scars of a past life he can scarcely forget. Reincarnated from Alex, a battle-hardened special ops agent betrayed and gunned down by his own team after forty-seven years of unwavering loyalty, Max has vowed never to let anyone close enough to wound him again. Trust, to him, is a fatal weakness—a lesson etched in blood from his former existence, where camaraderie turned to treachery in a haze of gunfire and desert dust.
Orphaned young and raised by his elder sister Elena, a confident Awakened warrior thriving in her guild's dungeon raids, Max feigns normalcy as an unremarkable, unawakened teen. But when his own system finally activates, granting him the unique skill "Administrator Rights"—a daily Administrator Point convertible into a thousand stat points or a hundred skill points—he glimpses a path to unparalleled power. Capable of eclipsing seasoned Awakened through sheer, effortless growth, Max converts his points in secret, boosting his stats to godlike levels while testing his might in low-level dungeons under a ridiculous paper-bag disguise to avoid detection.
Yet, even as he unleashes brutal fury on monstrous foes, . Max's isolation deepens. Paranoia from Alex's betrayal keeps him from confiding in Elena or forming bonds, turning his gift into a solitary curse. As whispers of greater threats loom and fleeting encounters hint at potential allies, Max must navigate a world of heroes and horrors, all while guarding his heart against the one enemy he fears most: vulnerability. In this tale of reincarnation and redemption, power comes easy—but trust may prove impossible.

Hey, before you start anything, I just wanted to let you know I'm still new to this whole writing thing, so some parts of the novel might not make perfect sense. That doesn't mean there'll be a bunch of plot holes or anything—it's just that the power system has a general structure, but it doesn't really follow strict rules.


So I don't want you to go in creating predetermined laws in your head, because later on you might see events or details that seem weird, and I don't want that to ruin the fun for you.


Basically what I'm saying is: "turn your brain off a little 😁😁"
