In a world where humans are the lowest of seven ranked races, Kael is considered the lowest of them all — born without an elemental core, powerless, and dismissed before he ever had a chance.But Kael isn't empty. He's different.He carries the rarest ability ever recorded — Adaptation. No training required. No bloodline needed. His body learns from whatever tries to destroy him, growing stronger, faster, and more dangerous each time he survives something that should have killed him.The catch? He has to nearly die first.Every power comes with a price. And in a world full of vampires, demons, dragons, and celestials who see humans as beneath them — the opportunities to almost die are never in short supply.This is the story of a boy the world wrote off, learning what he truly is — one near-death experience at a time.
