Synopsis:
In a world where every human awakens a unique power and receives a System designed to help them survive, protect, and defeat the monsters invading Earth through interdimensional Gates, strength is everything.
After the System Integration Event, Earth was reshaped by game-like rules. Gates appeared all over the world, connecting humanity to the nightmarish Abyss. From these Gates spill out monsters, aberrations, and beings that devour cities. To protect the world from these horrors, a new class of warriors—Hunters—was born.
But not everyone is chosen equally.
Kairo Vale, a quiet, scrawny orphan, was bullied his whole life—seen as weak, useless, disposable. Until one day, he awakens a hidden ability:
[Echo Touch] – Permanently copy any power by touching the owner.
With a cruel smile, Kairo vows to rise above the world that spat on him—not as a hero, but as the greatest villain it has ever known.
He'll take powers. Burn cities. Crush heroes. Topple nations.
He'll become the shadow the world fears most.
There's only one problem…
Every time he tries to do something evil, it accidentally saves someone.
When he tries to assassinate a Hunter, he unintentionally prevents a Gate Break.
When he attempts to cause chaos, he brings hope to an entire city.
When he declares war, he ends up uniting nations.
His legend grows. Not as the Demon King he dreams of being…
But as the Phantom Savior—a symbol of hope to all.
As Kairo's power silently grows beyond comprehension, a deeper force watches him from within the Abyss… a force that may crown him as its Emperor.
In a world where everyone sees him as a hero—can a boy who only ever wanted revenge survive becoming the last hope of humanity?
