Impetus System: The power of chaos

The world plunged into an abyss of chaos after the desperate experiment of a brilliant scientist, whose desire to elevate humanity to perfection collapsed under the weight of her own ambition. Instead of infinite energy, her legacy was a primordial and indomitable force: Magic. What was born as a promise of progress became the veil that separated the privileged from the forgotten, transforming social inequality into an unbridgeable chasm between those chosen by power and those condemned to obscurity. In the slums of Soraoka, where hope is a rare currency, Satsu, a young man who drags himself through the dark alleys between hunger and humiliation, sees the Brotherhood of the Phoenix as his only escape. Being an adventurer is not only a chance to survive, but to exist in a world that insists on erasing him. Until, amidst the blood and mourning of a personal tragedy, something awakened within him: a mysterious Level-Up System. This is not just a story of tireless struggles and level-ups. It is a cracked mirror of our own daily struggles... the flames of injustice that consume the invisible, the monsters that inhabit the alleys of the soul, and the question that echoes in Satsu's cold nights — "To what extent can I become a monster to protect the one I love?". Meanwhile, amidst the rubble of a broken world, a romance blossoms timidly... is there still love in a world of pure... CHAOS? Love comes late, don't expect anything in the first chapters, our stories are not a blink of an eye but a ladder that is built level by level. Satsu's path is paved with impossible choices: sacrifice her innocence to defy the gods of a corrupt system, or bow to the contempt of those at the top. Each step forward reveals the hidden cost of power — and who will pay the bill. What would you do if the only way to save your world was to lose yourself in it? Find out here.
