Path to Prosperity

Percy is a poor child with nothing to his name — no power, no family, only an old mentor who soon dies and leaves him truly alone. But everything changes when he gains access to mana and manifests an [Ego]: a rare ability that lets him consume what he owns and reforge the ordinary into the extraordinary. He claws his way from poverty to power, but the higher he climbs, the darker the world becomes. Powerful Adventurers vanish without a trace, and Percy is pulled straight into the heart of the mystery.

Percy expected a new start at the illustrious Wintermoon Estate, but behind polished walls and noble splendor, he found only cold shoulders and quiet malice. Cast aside, he trains alone in the Moonlight Forest, honing his unique power. Amid beasts and moonlit dangers, he finds friends and new abilities — enough to face the demons that descend on the estate. Survival leads him to the bustling capital of the Kainesh Kingdom, worlds apart from the lonely forest he once called home. As wealth, power, and influence gather within reach, shadowed truths begin to surface, old secrets unravel, and the Devil's Touch threads deeper into Percy's fate.

The Devil has come. Percy’s awakening changed his life forever. It granted him strength but also the means to make something of himself. But when the truth about his family came out, no amount of strength helped him digest the truth he never thought possible. Revelations about his bloodline thrust him into a role he never asked for. Power, legacy, expectations – none of it feels like it belongs to him. Still reeling from the shock, Percy struggles to find his footing in a world that now looks at him differently. Some see hope. Others see threats. And somewhere in the shadows, something ancient is stirring. Danger is no longer a distant possibility. It is approaching – quietly, deliberately. Fortunately, he does not stand alone. Percy has friends, and now, he even has a family to call his own. But loyalty and family are complicated matters. When Percy learns that some who once sought to harm him did so for what they believed was the greater good, he faces a question far heavier than any weapon: Can he forgive betrayal if it was meant to save the world? Maybe he has to. For the Devil does not wait for answers. He awakens and comes for the Kainesh Kingdom. To defeat the Devil, he has to embrace the very power that terrifies even his allies. Power that consumes. Power that devours. Power that belongs to the Devil himself. And Percy is willing to give up everything. Even himself if necessary.
