The Gifted Hand

Synopsis

In a world ravaged by pollution, an extraordinary era of superpowers dawns. Central to this new age is an individual with a unique ability: the power to grant powers to others. This transformative gift not only uplifts the powerless but amplifies the might of the already strong. Every ability bestowed upon another eventually returns to the giver, accumulating an unparalleled arsenal of powers. From A-rank to the unheard-of X-rank, the protagonist's powers grow, aiming to absorb the myriad abilities scattered across the world.

However, amidst this power surge, a dire threat emerges. Pollution has given birth to monstrous beings with deadly "rules-type" abilities. Merely dreaming of these creatures, catching their gaze, or hearing their footsteps can spell instant death. Worse yet, stepping on their footprints can result in bearing their offspring, only to meet a gruesome end. Looming over this chaos are the enigmatic gods of pollution, casting their ominous gaze from the cosmic shadows, signaling an even greater peril ahead.
