A Destined Journey

When a lost soul drifting in the Void floats too close to a new universe, it finds itself drawn in, bound to a new life, and reborn as a human. With his previous life's memory long since decayed from long exposure to the nothing that lies between realities, the newly born Robin has no idea of his alien heritage.

At least, until unlock day, when the System that pervades his new home informs him in no uncertain terms that his soul is far from local, and that with his heritage comes the promise of power, as every drop of experience is magnified by the echoes of what has been lost.

However, potential can be a double-edged sword. With the promise of future strength, but lacking ability in the here-and-now, Robin is viewed as little more than a valuable tool for his social superiors to obtain, mould, and use for themselves. Protecting his family and retaining his freedom will involve walking a tightrope, should he wish to make use of his gifts, particularly when the jealously of others throws carefully laid plans into disarray.

This is a slow paced, somewhat crunchy litRPG, with many blue sarcasm-less boxes. There is a single male lead with no romance or harem. The MC generally works alone, grouping up only for short periods. He's generally 'good', but has no objection to taking lives in defence of himself or others. Story length is intended to be approximately one million words, split into volumes of approximately 100k. The story's System starts off with little flexibility, but opens up at higher levels.
