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.
