Shiv has always known the world wants him dead. Cursed as an unholy omen in his own hometown, he's rejected by the System itself—no Path, no growth, no future beyond the fragile limits of mortality. For years he clawed at monsters alone, desperate for even a sliver of advancement. Then came his chance: a path to the Town Lord's favor, a real shot at becoming something more. It all burned the moment his town fell. His killer's blade found him in the chaos, and death should have been the end. Instead, Shiv woke. The Path of the Deathless claimed him—a Unique gift born from his own extinction, possessed by no one else in existence. Resurrection came with a price: banishment into the Abyss, where darkness holds dominion and wonders lurk in every shadow. Stripped from everything he knew, Shiv discovers an unexpected freedom. His old constraints shattered. His destiny now his to write. The dangerous world that should terrify him instead becomes his greatest advantage. Every death feeds him. Every lethal encounter strengthens him. The darker the Abyss grows, the more power he accumulates, turning an impossible prison into an engine for ascension. Dying is just another way to level up. Join Shiv as he transforms his curse into supremacy, conquers unrelenting foes across multiple factions, evolves his arsenal of supernatural abilities, and forges bonds with unlikely allies—from spider-folk companions to fellow survivors carving their own paths through chaos. In a realm where death means power and pain breeds progress, witness how a man rejected by fate becomes unstoppable. **What to expect:** Resurrection-based progression • System-driven advancement • An MC who thrives on suffering • Anti-hero protagonist • Dynamic companion arcs • High-stakes faction warfare • Skill evolution mechanics • Supernatural allies and adversaries **Update Pace:** Three 2-3k-word chapters daily **Patreon:** 400k+ words ahead **Discord:** .gg/6GdEDNreBU **Cover Artist:** Inkary
