A Cataclysmic Beginning

Thrust into a desperate reality with a catastrophic starting hand, a young man finds himself an impoverished orphan of a fallen supernatural investigator, abandoned by his remarried mother. Inheriting a stoic and resilient vessel plagued by the humiliation of failing the awakening trials three consecutive times, he faces an insurmountable wall in a world ruled by anomalies. Deserted by any conventional system or cheat, he must navigate a ruthless urban supernatural landscape relying solely on his wits, sheer willpower, and the refusal to break under pressure.
