The Overpowered Newbie

JaeJu, whose name translates to “skill” in Korean, lived up to his name by surviving alone in an orphanage after losing his parents. Despite his difficult upbringing, he thrived, honing his abilities naturally. One day, he learned the orphanage faced financial struggles and would shut down within three years. Determined to save it, JaeJu searched for ways to raise funds. Suddenly, his phone buzzed with a notification—a video of himself scaling a mysterious tower as a live streamer. Years earlier, an enigmatic tower had emerged, abducting people at random. Those who conquered its challenges and became “Awakened” gained fame and fortune almost instantly. For JaeJu, this could be the answer to his orphanage’s crisis.
