Prime Earth faced a horrible cataclysm several hundred years ago and has now turned into a hub of Demons. Humans who once lived peacefully in this world couldn't do anything aside from trying their best to survive.

Faced with a severe threat to their lives, the world did its best to give humans a chance. Since then, the Human Society changed its standards and power became the most important possession one could ever have.
Cedric, an unfortunate man who dealt with bad cards, lives his life as a convict of the Risk Management Center, drowning in his sorrows and bitterly clinging to his worthless life. That's until he was met with a life-changing opportunity that changed the way he viewed this world...literally.

Hello! Here's another work from yours truly! Thank you for checking it out.
Disclaimers:
1. Got the cover frrom pinterest, it's not mine, just edited it out.
2. There will be some errors here and there since I'm still working on my skills, I'll try to minimize them as much as I can, though.
3. I'm pushing for steady updates of 1 ch/day. I'll try to release more but please don't expect it since I have other priorities as well.
Ps. I still haven't decided if this is going to be a Harem or not. The story is still in development, after all. But I will update this once I've decided.
That's all, Peace!

⚠️WARNING!⚠️ Spoilers Ahead Before I get into the review, I’d like to start off by saying, there are tropes in this novel that I am heavily biased toward; some good, some bad. I’ll try to be as objective as possible, but that may not be possible in some cases. Short Review: It’s a unique take on the “Heros/Humans vs Demons” trope. Now, hearing that, you might want to compare it to Japanese isekai, but don’t. It has a more complex story and is more westernized. If you enjoy LitRPG progression fantasy novels, where it’s one race against the other, and humanity is on its last leg, you’ll probably enjoy this. It’s far from perfect, but it’s got a bit of everything you could want in a story. Hardworking, intelligent, OP MC, romance, world building, some character development, and good action scenes. At least read the free chapters, to see if you like it, but do know that things change a lot at around chapter 100. Could be good, could be bad, depending on your preferences. However, I do recommend giving this novel a shot. That being said, there are a lot of things that could be improved. If you don’t want spoilers, or don’t want your judgement to be clouded, don’t read the rest of this review. I will be discussing, what I believe to be some of the major ups and downs of the novel. . . . . . . Writing Quality(3/5): Honestly, I expected a lot better. This is the author’s third novel, but it’s still littered with grammatical errors. Generally speaking, the writing quality is pretty good. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s top-tier, but it’s a step below. I’m being a bit overly critical, but if there weren’t so many grammatical mistakes, I’d give it a 4/5. Update Stability(5/5): Pretty standard for this author. Story Development(3.5/5): This is where I’m heavily negatively biased, but before I say anything, I just want to point out that the story isn’t bad. It’s just, there are a lot of things that either don’t make sense or are just really drawn out. Let me preface this by saying, I abhor Academy Arcs. I find them boring, uneventful, and are really nothing more than glorified training arcs that stall the plot and take up way too much freaking time. If I’m already on the fence about a novel and I see the author dump his MC in an academy, more than likely I’m going to drop it. But before we get into that, let me lay out the general underlying plot. The novel is about a guy named Cedric, who somehow obtains a Godkings eyes. He then uses his newly gained powers to help push humanity out of its slump and fight back against the encroaching demons. At some point, he obtains a [Sage] class and leverages his identity to befriend and call upon humanity’s leaders. Honestly, a pretty good plot. Not overly complex, but it’s interesting to watch Cedric’s journey through it all. The main parts I have issues with are(in no particular order): 1. There are more questions than answers and seemingly important information is given at much later times than expected(as if the author just forgot or something). 2. Plot holes. 3. Academy Arc(biased) 4. The repetitive war with the demons. 5. The future cosmic arc(remains to be seen) Alright, let’s go through them one by one. First, more questions than answers. By this, I’m really talking about minor details like the power scaling of the world. How do levels work? How do tiers work? How many tiers are there? What’s the strongest? The author just glosses over this for the longest time and, to my knowledge, never directly addresses it. We’re just supposed to guess and even then, I’m still not quite sure exactly how everything works or who’s the strongest. This isn’t just the case for the power system either, but with tons of minor details. It’d take too long to dive into every single one of them, but just know, if you have a question that isn’t about some major plot device, it’ll likely not be addressed or answered at all. You’ll be left guessing with the minimal context clues given. Second, plot holes. There’s really only one that I find particularly glaring: why can’t the demons distinguish Cedric as a Sage? Just for clarification, Cedric has two identities: his every day identity (Cedric) and the one he shows the demons (Derrick). Derrick is his “Sage” identity. This, in and of itself isn’t a problem. The problem comes when almost every single higher up of humanity can discern his Sage identity at a glance. How? Idk. Reasons, I guess. But, for some reason, the demons look at Cedric and just think, “He’s a talented school boy. Nothing to worry about.” … How? Mind you, humanity is losing big time in this war against the demons. Their overall power ceiling is at least a step below the demons. I understand that some humans can find out Cedric’s identity through the Acala… Even though I find that a little farfetched, considering the MCs system authority, I’ll give it to you. But a lot of these old dudes just glance at the MC and go ‘Young Sage!’ You have to understand that the demons have probably killed around a dozen other sages. You’d think, at least Demon Lord level beings, could discern his identity rather easily. Remember, the demons are supposed to be cunning and actively searching for him… Another plot hole is… how do people above Tier 9 get stronger? Maybe I missed something. Is it simply through Demon Lord souls? This leads into a much larger issue of energy, but I’ll leave that alone for now. Side note, it also feels like all the so-called “strong people” of the human race aren’t all they claim to be, at least compared to demons. Third, Academy Arc. Yes, this novel has an academy arc. Although it’s better than a lot of others, I would just really like to believe there’s a better way of doing things. Like I said before, it’s a glorified training arc that goes on for way too long. There’s also really only one class that has sort of made a difference in the MC’s power, and that’s the Swordsmanship class(can’t remember the exact name). The others, as per the teacher’s words, can be learned in the library. The rest of his gains aren’t even obtained directly from the academy, but due to his identity as a Sage and the connections that come with it. Other than maybe swordsmanship and some basic knowledge, everything else he gained was from his own hard work and eyes, hardly due to the academy at all. BUT! We do get to see a bunch of old men look at the MC and go “Interesting… A Sage…” Up until the most recent non-priv chapter, he’s still a sort of the academy, merely a sophomore (150+ chapters). Honestly, the plot before he entered the academy was, in my opinion 10x more interesting than afterwards. I’d rather read about the MC struggle to obtain information, skills, and connections by himself than be burdened by an academy and the accompanying old people. At least, when he’s alone, the plot progresses and things are a lot more unique and intersting. Again, this is my personal bias, but at this point, I can’t get behind any academy arc unless the entire novel literally revolves around it. To me, it just seems like there are so many better ways to move the story along than that. Fourth, repetition. The endless hordes are fun, but after the first few times, we know the MC is going to dominate them. This goes back to the academy arc, but for most of the time, it really feels like the war with the demons is on hold when he’s at the academy. Before that, we had cultists, demons, black sky, nodes, and all this other stuff, but in the academy, he just goes on a few missions outside and trains in the academy. It lacks the urgency that the beginning had. Fifth, the cosmic arc. This hasn’t happened yet, but the author is hinting at some galactic council of OP races. To them, his planet and their plight is nothing. The MC has the bare minimum of talent to be called a “genius” by them. (Which to me doesn’t make much sense, considering he literally has the eyes of a GODKING, but whatever.) I normally wouldn’t have a problem with this, but it feels too soon. I mean, the battles with the demons hasn’t even reached its climax and here we are jumping into a larger world, where the demons seem inconsequential. To me, it really kills all the momentum you’ve built up until this point. Now, it feels like, instead of an epic final battle, it’s more of like a side quest. 300 chapters of buildup, only to be turned into a side quest… it’s a little disappointing. Okay, I dogged on the novel’s plot quite a lot, but now, let me share some of the things I like: 1. Pacing. Its fast enough that things don’t get too boring. 2. Lots of learning, studying, and experimenting. The MC is always progressing. It’s fun to read and the MC is always making new advancements. 3. I love those first few arcs. Him discovering his powers, their limits, and working behind the scenes to eliminate enemies is just so fun to read. Those first hundred chapters are really a delight to read. 4. We don’t get sidetracked by women or skirt chasing. There is romance, but it’s not the main focus. Once the author decides on an arc, he sticks to it, which I can appreciate. (Though, I will say that the romance is pretty below-average. Almost like the parts we do get are rushed.) 5. Even though I hate academy arcs, this one is really not that bad. The MC went there to study, train, and hide out under the protection of the big shots, and that’s pretty much what he does. Sure, the plot stagnates a bit, but we do get what was promised. He does go on a few missions too, so we do get a break from the mootony. The MC isn’t constantly harassed or distracted by randoms, and focuses solely on his goals. So, for that, I can’t hate on it too much as the MC still progresses at a steady rate. 6. I like how the author has portrayed the fight between the world+humans vs demons. This author always comes up with unique takes on cliche tropes, and he’s done it again here. Haaahh… finally done with that. Haha. Character Design(4/5) I love Cedric’s character. He feels very relatable and human. At heart, he’s just a normal guy forced into extraordinary circumstances and is doing his best to shoulder the heavy burden placed on his shoulders. On their own, the two FLs are great as well. They all feel human. Where I deduct a point is literally everyone else. It’s as if, everyone who isn’t a kid is just a copy paste. This especially goes for the old people. It’s as if they’re all bored out of their minds. “Intersting…” is their catch phrase and it feels as if they’re doing nothing other than sitting around. If you’re an optimist, you could say they’re all “eccentric”, but if you’re like me, you’d just call them bots. Their personalities are quite shallow, and even if we get their backstory, it doesn’t really change anything. They’re just boring, interchangeable characters that are bored. I know I was a little harsh their with my criticism, but it really does seem as if they just sort of… exist. Humanity is going extinct, and they’re sitting around twiddling their thumbs, waiting for some talented young person to come along. Idk. Not really a fan of them, but I’m also biased against these “old masters” in these types of novels. Their characters are generally all the same, even across different novels. World Background(4/5): Alright, I’m kind of sick of writing this review, so I’ll try and keep this one short. Other than the MC, the world, its background, and the world building are the best parts of the novel. It’s what’s kept me around, paying for each chapter. Although the power system is a bit basic and not fully fleshed out, everything else is good. This author always does a good job in this aspect, and this novel isn’t any different. He really does seem to go all out with creating and shaping the world. It’s fascinating to read. Final Notes: Where are the lemons, author?! Also, since you brought up cosmic stuff, I hope that the Godking’s eyes aren’t just seeing and learning(which almost seem a bit nerfed since he obtained them). Final Rating: (~3.8/5). I’m enjoying the novel so far, despite my pretty harsh critiques.
This one is good!! Its a shame that i didn't have a coin to continue but i recommend this one. Like the title said he got an eye(Obviously Odin's eye) that give him a passive skill "Learning" and "Vision" this two is literally cheat. I won't spoil anymore than that but if you want a overpowered(Power leveling) mc read this you are in a right track.
Review based on free chapters. Lazy writing as per usual, yet another author who lacks the drive to go back and proof read or even check comments for mistakes. (Or does read them and still doesn’t fix them) Mc has chicken brain, training arc in the beginning was just the mc learning things I knew as a child, literally explained to us what walking and running is. Then he realized that martial arts moves should flow into one another instead of doing single moves over and over, which is also obvious, it’s an art, a dance of blood and death, of course you don’t just practice “cleave” “parry” “block” over and over. Although not everyone knows about martial arts I grew up doing a couple and I know people reading these types of novels most likely already have a general understanding of how they work as well. Also idk how he trained without a partner as your muscles won’t be able to react properly to receiving or giving an actual attack if you only practice the move by yourself, you’d end up injuring yourself. Other than the basics training by yourself is useless unless you are training fitness and not skill so realistically he’d make no progress here. I was a instructor for many years and have seen many people who didn’t come to sparring classes fail during tournaments due to lack of experience, not used to to the feeling of getting attacked or blocking said attack they’d hurt themselves even though they think their technique was perfect. (You can swing a sword perfectly a million times but if it’s just that and somebody happens to meet your swing with the same strength and you aren’t used to it your sword is leaving your hands) His friend is also a waste of a character and the author should have had them train together to make the training more cohesive. Still gets above half in rating due to the good story I can see coming out of it if the author actually tries to fix up some errors. Also to any authors reading this your story’s beginning is the hook and bait for readers, if you can’t take the couple minutes it would be to edit a chapter to make it perfect then just give up writing lol bad grammar especially will scare away most readers. Don’t say “It will get better in the later chapters” that's just lazy, go back and fix it. Nobody wants to dish out lots of money to a story the author themselves don't take seriously.
Honestly a hidden gem. Very well written and the story is really gripping, a few things that could be improved here and there, but it could shape up to be one of the best novels here in my opinion. Two things I will say though are: - MC’s that can do everything/have every affinity get a bit boring, its much more fun to read about a specialized character that needs to be creative in the way he uses his powers. - I would love it if the amount of releases per week were a bit higher :)
The best book I’ve read so far in a very long time. Give it a chance, you won’t regret it
I knew it! The author of this book is the same as the author of "Way of the Knights" which is one of my favorites. The author really proves his expertise once again! I have no doubt this would be a Gem✨
Absolutely loved the story so far. My favorite part has been the main character development. The power ups are timely and there has been no inconsistency in the story so far. I hope the academy arc will be good. All the best!!
wow!!!author never ever fails to impress!!!looking forward to see where this goes. very very good so far!!
You should put a character thing for the mc because it’ll likely help u get more readers. From what I’ve seen,this is far above average(chapter 3)
Overall the story is fast pace and entertaining while the writing quality is good. The main issue I had with it was the amount of dead plot holes and powering scaling. Power scaling did not make sense and was never explained considering he was FTL before tier 9 Spoiler ahead The author has a lot of dead plot holes that aren’t ever resolved and are also just a bunch of cliches that don’t ever get mentioned again. It is mentioned that he has someone that claimed him as a disciple that is never shown and mention after Also it is alluded that he potentially from a powerful background that is also never mentioned As of like ch 370 his lion that he got was never used beside as a pet cat His alter ego Derek is only mentioned a few times And the 12 saints of his generation is never talked about

Haven’t started but looking to do so, i see author hasn’t decided if it will be a harem yet, i for one dont mind harems, read the normal trashy ones and the good ones as long ad he gets it write with the characters and doesn’t turn them into “flower vases” that would be great. The girls should be involved not just always MC dealing with all situations
It's time to leave a review after much reading. The story is perfectly paced.The writing quality is superb, and you can tell that the author put in a lot of effort and time to bring this story into fruition. The MC(Cedric) is focused on his goal of becoming stronger, and he is cautious. Cedric 's growth is fast and steady in terms of power. What I've come to be really disappointed with is the 'godking's eyes' , their full potential is not well portrayed by the author, and at this point, I'm convinced that it was only introduced to give Cedric some abilities and disappear. It would have been better if the author followed the trope of the godking giving him wishes instead because the eyes have become totally irrelevant to the story. Till the point where I have read, never has there been a mention of these eyes nor are they exploited for what they are truly worth, for petes sake, they are godkings eyes. They should have more power/potential. Till where I've reached, there is not much that we know about the world it's mostly been about Cedric's growth,In no way is that bad, but I would like to know more about the demons and how humans are fighting against them. How they are fairing. I've been on and off in reading the book, so I can't really say much about the update stability.

I LOVE this book although im at the start... will continue to read this i highly recommend you give it a try
My main issue is the inaccurate and inconsistent power scaling. When the 20 T5 demons came out of their slumber in the OG city (forget the name), that explorer team struggled to fight them. It is then later revealed that their leader is AT LEAST T9, WITH ALL THE OTHER MEMBERS BEING FAR HIGHER THEN T5. HUH. Like, shouldn’t these guys have been able to instantly erase T5 people from existence, considering a T6 could nearly take on all 20 by themselves.
เปิดเผยสปอยเลอร์ I dont have that many words to say.... its an absolute BANGER and i hope you keep writing this wonderful till it's end 😁.
Five stars! why? A book lies dormant, pages yet untold, Awaiting the touch of a hand, brave and bold. Not every reader will find its embrace, For some, it's a stranger, a forgotten space. But fate has a plan, a whisper in the wind, Connecting a soul with a story to begin. A reader, drawn in, by a title or a line, Their hearts intertwined, a connection divine. The words dance and shimmer, a world comes alive, In the reader's mind, the story thrives. Each page a treasure, a journey untold, A bond forged in ink, both precious and bold. For every book, a reader awaits, A soul to embrace, before it's too late. A connection unspoken, a destiny entwined, In the pages they share, a love they will find. -redlotus:>
I liked the novel, but the character has an increased burden, knowing that his strength is very strong.
Ahem, Ahem...You know how it is, hypocritical 5-star review from yours truly. What else did you expect?Anyway, enjoy the story![img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend]
