Death Starting At Dawn

In the closing moments of 2023, the world witnessed an unprecedented phenomenon. As the clock approached midnight, portals of varying sizes tore through the fabric of reality, unleashing hordes of monstrous creatures upon an unsuspecting humanity. Chaos reigned supreme. However, just as all hope seemed lost, beams of ethereal light descended, bestowing certain individuals with unimaginable powers. They were dubbed the 'Awakened.' Among them, a young man named Lin Fan from California was granted a rare talent - the 'Adaptive Passive Growth.' Unlike many others who received clear-cut abilities, Lin's talent was unique, allowing him to passively adapt and grow stronger based on the experiences and challenges he faced. Navigating through this post-apocalyptic world, Lin Fan quickly realizes that his seemingly average stats were deceiving. With each monster he faces, each trial he endures, his power amplifies, making him an enigma among the Awakened. As factions rise, seeking control in this new world order, and mysteries about the origins of the portals and their purpose unfold, Lin Fan stands at the epicenter of it all, holding a power that might just be the key to salvation or the harbinger of further destruction. In a world where strength determines survival, Lin's unique growth mechanic promises an ascent to unparalleled might. But with great power comes even greater threats, and Lin Fan must make choices that determine not just his destiny, but the fate of the world itself.
