On Terra, everyone has a 58% chance to “Awaken” as a Traveler—a chosen few who can access mystical portals called Flumes, allowing them to travel to Genovia, a world filled with unimaginable power, chaos, and danger. But not everyone gets to be a hero.

Born into a struggling family with nothing but ragged clothes and a bleak future, Aoni Thurston, a total nobody with a humiliating One-Star Potential and G- stats across the board, knows his only chance at survival hinges on unlocking his hidden ability, something which all Traveler’s are gifted “Attributes.” 

But Aoni’s Attribute, “Progression,” holds a secret—a power to bend the rules of his ruthless reality. Each small victory, every step forward, earns him mysterious Progress Points, enabling him to transform his weaknesses into strength. Surviving the unforgiving snows of his desolate Territory, he faces isolation, despair, and near-death, all while unraveling the potential of his Attribute.

In a world where power is everything, can Aoni claw his way from obscurity to greatness, or will the system grind him into dust? His future is uncertain, but one thing is clear—everything in his world can change through his Attribute: Progression.

On Terra, several Geno-Days after returning from the treasury, the scene of Aoni and Anthony kneeling on the floor, with Lea standing over them, ruler in one hand, carving knife in the other, was being completely ignored by the remaining members of the Thurston Family.


"Anthony, you were only supposed to be gone for 2 days; please enlighten me as to how it turned into you being gone for an entire week?" Lea asked while clicking the ruler against the very sharp carving knife.


"Mama Dearest, little Aoni needed some help with his exploration, and when I got there, I found these abandoned ancient ruins 50-something miles away…" Hearing the clacking turn into a sharpening sound as Lea dragged the knife along the metal edge of the ruler, Anthony's words spilled out faster.


"Mama, don't worry, it wasn't dangerous; I used my Aura to keep any monsters away so we were exploring freely."
