To Wield Life and Death

The Gods hold dominion over a million powers, but life and death are his to control. Ethan is a bed-bound patient with a terminal disease no one understands. The only cure he can think of is to enter the six-level Realm Trial, and awaken a Talent that could heal him. A pipe dream, given he’s too weak to even run. But when he encounters a shadowed stranger in the halls of his hospital who not only knows the truth behind his condition, but also how to fix it, he doesn’t hesitate. In return for a second chance at life, Ethan must venture through the Realm Trials and find his way to the Sixth and final realm to fulfil a pact with his mysterious patron, the only other person in the universe who shares his outlawed powers. However, it won't be easy. The Realm Trial throws monsters and ruins at all who enter, and the Gods have ancient secrets they’re willing to kill for. If Ethan wishes to survive, he will need to hide his identity as he climbs his way to the top. But if it means he can live the life he was denied? He will let nothing stand in his way.
