Supreme Ascension: The Forsaken One

The Last Moments on Earth

Kai Nakamura was nothing special. At least, that’s what the world made him believe.

At 19, he was just another college student, barely scraping by with part-time jobs and endless assignments. He had no remarkable talents, no athletic prowess, and certainly no bright future ahead. But what he did have—was a mind that never stopped dreaming.

He spent hours reading web novels, manga, and playing RPGs. Worlds of magic, systems, and reincarnation fascinated him. He wished, more than anything, that he could be part of something greater.

But reality was cruel.

One rainy night, as Kai walked home from his shift at a convenience store, his fate was sealed.

A little girl stood frozen in the middle of the road, her eyes wide in terror as headlights approached. Without thinking, Kai ran.

The screech of tires. The blinding lights. The impact.

Pain exploded in his body, then vanished.

As he lay in the cold, blood mixing with rain, he saw people rushing toward him. But their voices faded. His consciousness drifted into nothingness.

"I don't want to die..."

Those were his last words.

But the universe had other plans.

Rebirth in Veneras

The next time Kai awoke, he wasn’t lying on wet asphalt. He wasn’t even in his own body.

He felt warmth. A strange heaviness weighed on his limbs, and muffled voices echoed around him.

Then, he heard it—a voice so soft and full of love that it sent warmth through his soul.

“He’s beautiful…”

His blurry vision cleared, revealing a woman with silver hair and emerald-green eyes cradling him.

“Kai… my little Kai.”

His mind raced. What is this? What’s happening?!

Then, a sudden coldness filled his head.

Kai’s eyes widened. He wasn’t dreaming. He had been reborn.

He wasn’t just in another world—he had a system.

A thrill ran through him. All those novels, those endless fantasies of reincarnation—it had happened to him!

But before he could process it, exhaustion overtook him, and he drifted into a deep sleep.

The New World: Veneras

Over the next few years, Kai learned about the world he had been reborn into—Veneras.

A land ruled by magic, where power determined status.

He was the son of Lady Selene Valeria, a noblewoman from an ancient house known for their powerful magic. But there was a problem.

No matter how hard he tried, Mana did not respond to him.

Magic was everything in Veneras. A child’s affinity usually awakened by the age of three. But as years passed, Kai remained powerless.

People whispered behind his back.

“The Valeria heir… a failure?”

“How can someone from the great Selene’s bloodline be magicless?”

“A disgrace to the family name.”

Even his relatives began to shun him. Servants barely acknowledged him. To them, he was nothing more than a disappointment.

But his mother never abandoned him.

“Kai, you are strong in ways they cannot see.” She would hold his hands, smiling. “You are destined for something greater.”

Her words kept him going.

But fate had no mercy.

The Night of Fire and Blood

The night of his fifth birthday was the night everything was taken from him.

Masked men invaded their estate. The once-grand halls burned as screams echoed through the night.

Kai was dragged away by a servant, but in the chaos, he saw her.

His mother, standing before a man in black robes.

A powerful aura surrounded the man. He was no ordinary mage—he was a monster.

Selene turned toward Kai, her emerald eyes filled with sorrow. “Run, Kai!”

Then, before his eyes, the blade struck.

Blood splattered onto the ground.

His mother fell.

Something inside Kai shattered.

Rage. Sorrow. Hatred.

A cold voice echoed in his mind.

[Requirement met. System unlocking…]

[Supreme Evolution Path activated.]

[New Mission: Conquer the world.]

As flames consumed his home, a single thought took root in Kai’s soul.

"I will kill them all."
