It has been a long time since this story has been updated and the author hasn't sent us(his reddit page) an update, going fully offline. I'm not sure whether or not anybody will read this novel because they might want to read despite knowing that there will never be an end. Regardless, I have to share my opinion on the story even if I read it months and possibly over a year ago. This story is an amazing one that truly shows how Arran grows from being a country boy. I'm sure if you're reading this and you haven't read Paragon of Destruction yet, you will be confused as to whether this atypical novel is good or bad, but I will try to provide my point of view on the debate as I see it. Many comments and reviews highlight that Arran has been as dumb as a rock with decision making without growth, but I contest this view. Arran at the start of the novel was absolutely confused and thrust into an unfamiliar world of magic, so he was constantly making incorrect decisions. Little does it help that he's a teenager with emotions who doesn't want to stay in a dark room repeating one move for centuries. Later in the novel, though, Arran is able to trick an entire government just for the sake of getting stronger. He isn't any criminal mastermind just yet, but he is able to use complicated and nuanced ways of thinking in order to further himself and reach his goals. Therefore I conclude my argument that Arran has absolutely shown growth in decision-making skills throughout PoD. Secondly, many people seem to believe that Arran is untalented and always compared to those stronger than him. To explain why this is irrelevant, I have to explain the concept of many wuxia novels. In many wuxia novels, the main character will grow strong enough that they will be the strongest in their world/region, but must then move on to a place where others match up to their strength/skills at the time. Arran does this same concept, but since the entire story has had him journey through dofferent places, it fits in well with the story rather than randomly moving to a higher realm. Arran is constantly comparing homself to those stronger than him and exceeding his limits because that is the best way for him to grow stronger. Because of this, even though it may seem like Arran is always weaker and less talented, he is realistically far more talented than his age group. Ultimately, whether or not you agree with me, please check out Paragon of Destruction because it's a wonderful novel that naturally flows as a Eastern/Western fantasy. It may be over, but this novel will always hold a place in my heart.

This novel held such a special place in my heart. It was one of the first I picked up when coming to this app and I have followed it since chapter 100 ish. I'm very glad to see that even now people are finding this novel and making reviews but it pains me to know that these newcomers are gonna be disappointed to see that no update will probably ever come. Thank you for writing this review and letting others know that this novel probably wont ever finish. It's still a good read for what it's worth.

The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion

[The System has arrived on your habitable planet, known as ‘Earth.’] [In five seconds, monsters from countless realms will invade Earth.] [Remaining Time: 5 seconds.] [You can now view your attributes, talents, abilities, and skills by simply thinking about them.] [Kill monsters, and you might survive.] “Monsters?” Damian’s breathing quickened as the pain in his chest grew sharper. On the day of the Awakening, humanity was forced to defend against an invasion of countless monsters from the towers that connected realms across the multiverse. While billions of people died helplessly, billions more seized the opportunities hidden behind the horrors spilling out of the gates. Leveling up, growing stronger, awakening talents, learning supernatural skills, changing one's very race, and even achieving immortality all became possibilities. But for Damian, who was suffering from a sickness that would kill him within a few years, the Awakening was a curse. While other humans awakened powerful talents, hunted monsters, and evolved, Damian remained talentless, a liability and a burden the awakened had to carry. Damian never wanted to be seen as weak or useless, but what could he do? He was dying. If only he had awakened a talent or at least possessed a stronger body, he might have been able to level up and cure his sickness. But he couldn’t. All that would change when a mysterious figure set him on a path that would lead him to his true destiny. Witness the rise of a warrior who would make countless men tremble in fear. Witness the rise of a monster who would force every race, every being, and every existence to kneel. Witness the rise of the Champion.
