Tattoo of Taboo
What happens when you lose everything even the memories of the ones you loved most?
In a world where power is carved into skin and soul, every mark demands a price.
Born to a painter, Kain Ardent never imagined that the very protectors of his land, the Council of Brands, would be the ones to destroy it.
When they declare his mother a bearer of a forbidden taboo, she is condemned and burned alive before the eyes of her helpless son. As the holy flames consume his home, Kain is thrown into the darkness of a fracturing mind.
When he awakens, his village is nothing but ash. The people he once knew are gone, and fragments of his memory have been stolen, hollow, unreachable, and cold. But on his forearm, glowing with a pulse like a chaotic heartbeat, is a tattoo he never chose: the Obsidian-class Ash Mark, bound to an equally mysterious System.
The world wastes no time naming him what it fears most: a heretic. A bearer of a forbidden mark.
Hunted and rejected by the cosmic laws that govern power, suffocating under trauma, Kain clings to the only constant left to him, his curse mark They call it a taboo. But to him, it is a promise. A weapon. A path to rise.
He will make the Council pay with the exact same flames they unleashed upon his mother. He will make the entire world learn to fear his pain.
But power always demands a toll, and the living tattoo etched into his flesh hungers for far more than mere vengeance. As the countdown on his soul begins, Kain faces a final, volatile choice:
“Either the world burns… or I burn with it.”

First of all, the character development is quite lacking. the author didn't explain why MC got this game like system in his mind. what kind of good deeds he had done before which granted him such cheat. Second, the way he stitches wound on Mr. Yang is too exaggerating. the wound is quite deep which affect the blood vessel. it should be stitched with different surgery thread for each type of wound. for the blood vessel, for the tendon and last for the skins. it becomes hilarious when MC did it only in one go of stitches. Third, the way he gets his first fans girl also ridiculous. Just by making stitches on the girl's brother tattoo she gives MC quite a favor. it's not even a wound that life-threatening, you know!
