Synopsis
The power to devour death and enhance yourself. That is the power that Alex Rune received.
An apocalyptic event occurred several generations ago that forced humanity to retreat underground in order to avoid extinction. Now all that remains of the human race lives within a series of five cities, with each city being built deeper than the last. In these cities everyone was equal and your only value to society was dependant on what you provided towards the survival of humanity.
Of course, as anyone could have guessed, equality didn't last long. people started to create a social hierarchy based on what they could provide and soon enough capitalism had been reinstated.
A few generations went by and the surface had all but been forgotten. Nobody cared for it, nobody longed for it. The surface might as well have been a fairy tale. It was around this time that another shift occurred within society, something that tossed the hierarchy onto it's head.
Abilities. People started to develop supernatural abilities that allowed them to defy the laws of nature. Flight, teleportation, super strength and many more.
It didn't take long for a new hierarchy to be formed, one that put these ability 'Users' at the top of the food chain.
This brings us to the present day, where a young man nearing adulthood discovers that he possesses one of these abilities during a rather stressful moment. The ability he received?
The ability grow stronger with each life he takes. This alone was a surprise, as he should have been too old to receive an ability, but the surprise didn't end there.
It turns out than when Alex kills someone who possesses an ability, he can take it for himself. Now that he has the means to achieve greatness, he throws away his old self and embraces his need to kill, to grow stronger by any means necessary.
Money hungry corporations, power drunk ability Users, this story has it all.
Now get reading ;)

Great novel! Interesting set-up, not annoying or overpowered system, intriguing plot. Definitely recommend
Thanks for your efforts. I would very much like to read how the story will be improved. Next review is coming soon.
the book has potential but 20 chapters is way to short for reader to get a good feel about the story chp20 just end right in a middle of a conflicts that not how you sell a book because there be people like Mt that font want to invest as we didn't get enough time to feel the book out.
Seems interesting, I’ve honestly just read the first 20 chapters but don’t want to invest time reading if it’s going to be dropped, is the author going to keep writing? if that’s the case I’ll read the rest and do a proper review.
a novel that could have been more first if the problems iIhave with it the MC is lazy, empathetic and can't help but care about people and cares about life.also i feel like the world revolves around the MC that is not a good thing it shows like if planning.good things noneall on all a waste of time,but it's expected on webnovel if you want to read to something good read my mostly true villain list.
really author.. after keeping kinetic on hiatus, another novel? this doesn't lemme much credence to your stability you know
I know many of you will see this story and think "Really? Another system story?". I implore you to give this story a chance regardless of that. The system in this story is not a source of power, but rather, it's a representation of it. I garuntee you will not be disappointed if you read this story. I have a lot prepared for you all.
