Entry metadata
Two hundred years after an apocalypse rewrote reality, Freddy Stern is a twice-orphaned cashier scraping together savings to become an archhuman. A near-death encounter hands him a strange talent instead: every enemy he kills makes him slightly stronger, and almost any wound can be undone.
Progression: kill-scaling growth — a weak-to-strong brawler whose single odd talent compounds over every fight.
Reader fit: you want an underdog grind with an ordinary, stubborn lead in a harsh, power-stratified world.
Texture: dark, gritty, slow-burn.
