Synopsis

At six years old, Janus Ragnos bears the weight of impossible destinies. Born to a mother of tainted Netniem blood within the sacred halls of House Azure, his very existence threatens the delicate balance of the Shattered Empire. When the First Baptism ceremony plunges him into the depths of the Hells, he emerges not just marked, but crowned with a white-gold torq—a symbol of power unseen for centuries. Plagued by visions of futures he cannot control and hunted by those who fear what he might become, Janus must navigate a deadly maze of politics and prophecy. As rival houses plot from the shadows and the Hells whisper their dark promises, he faces a choice: confront the monstrous truth of his heritage, or let it consume him.

Chapter 1Prologue

Memories spill from my mind like dross, unbound by the sequence of time.

Each flash seemingly more vivid than the last, a collision of past, present, and moments yet to unfold. Through the dark water, hair-like roots twist and writhe, their embedded eyes watching, unblinking. My own eyes burn for the sight of them, and, for an instant, the pain is fiercer than the ache in my chest.

Too many. Much too many for such a short life.

I am only six.

They float above me like the bubbles of air that have already escaped my mouth, brighter than the purple-azure light filtering through Nenuphar's floating blooms. My vision blurs, then I am thrust back to the darkness of my birth, an event marked by pain and a desperate struggle for life. It is a memory enveloped in shadows, a room devoid of warmth, where my first cries were swallowed by the throbbing light.

Then, just as swiftly, my mind catapults forward. I see glimpses of impossibly bright stars, fragmented and disjointed from squinted eyes. My lungs burn as horror seeps into my bones. Images flicker: a glowing figure, a floating citadel, a sky torn asunder.

Amidst this temporal chaos, a constant remains—the sensation of pain. It binds these disparate times together until I remember...

I remember everything.

I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

The convolution of worlds are govern by a set of gods, each god is given a world to rule and there can be skirmishes between them – as a result of one between Nexus, the god of trickery and a senile old hag Elliot reincarnated into Ul’Tra-el by mistake. Ul’Tra-el is a world that grew a voice, because of this voice, it began to take a different path from other worlds -- it was filled with a core anomaly – rifts. Dimensions began to leak into each other, vomiting outrageous monsters. In response or as an auto-correction to such anomaly, talents were awakened in the inhabitants of Ul’Tra-el and they gained tremendous power, for every rift they close down, they were rewarded massively by the voice of the world called Ul. In a hardcore world like this one, our MC (Northern) reincarnated as a talentless individual but in the face of a death and a head splitting revelation... ...when all hopes seemed lost. {System Notice} Your Soul cannot take a form Searching for Unique pattern ability for your soul searching... search found. Unique System ability has been found... Unique System Ability [CopyCat] has been gained. Awakening Unique ability... Northern gained a talent copying system! ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.
