Boundless Ascension

What is Boundless Ascension?

“Boundless Ascension”, Korean: 나 혼자 특성빨로 무한 성장) is a Korean action fantasy manhwa published on Naver Webtoon in 2022. Written by Fleecy cloud and Shyatan with art by 2love, produced by the renowned REDICE STUDIO—the acclaimed studio behind hit series like Solo Leveling, Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound, and Solo Max-Level Newbie. The manhwa is adapted from a web novel and is officially licensed in English by LINE Webtoon, with translations available in six languages.

The manhwa is currently listed on 1,315 reading lists. One reviewer noted: “At first it may seem generic but they expand on abilities and setting more than most. It’s really fun to piece together the expanding story/lore… This is an OP MC type read but it’s done way better than most because the MC has real challenges and when you think he is just too powerful it somehow makes main opponents threatening” FandomWire. However, the manhwa adaptation has been criticized for pacing issues, skipping “the whole prep phase” and important details from the novel IMDb.

With its Tower of Trials premise selecting challengers from Earth, zero-to-hero protagonist who spent 7 years grinding without any stat increases, unique trait system granting cheat-level growth, soul-based power mechanics (often mistaken for necromancy), gods and divine entities as quest givers, death game tournament style with monsters and human opponents, REDICE STUDIO’s high-quality art matching Solo Leveling standards, and infinite growth potential through special traits, the series appeals to fans of tower climbing manhwa who enjoy overpowered protagonists with unique power systems.

Plot Overview

Seong-yun Han was just an ordinary boy living a peaceful life—until the “Dungeon Break” changed everything. This mysterious calamity unleashed monsters across the world, and during one devastating attack, young Seong-yun’s parents were brutally killed right before his eyes. Orphaned and traumatized, Seong-yun made a vow: he would become a Hunter—one of the fierce warriors who seek out and destroy monsters to protect humanity.

For seven years, Seong-yun trained relentlessly. Every single day, he pushed his body to the limit: lifting weights, practicing combat, running until exhaustion, studying monster weaknesses. He devoted his entire youth to becoming stronger, sacrificing everything for his dream of avenging his parents and protecting others from suffering the same fate.

But then came the devastating truth. After seven years of blood, sweat, and tears, Seong-yun checked his Hunter attributes—and discovered they hadn’t increased at all. Not by a single point. Zero growth. His grinding efforts to become a Hunter were entirely in vain. He possessed no talent whatsoever. While others became powerful with minimal effort, Seong-yun remained weak despite maximum dedication. Crushed by this realization, he faced the bitter reality: his dream was impossible.

Then, impossibly, everything changed.
『 The Tower of Trials has selected all suitable candidates from Earth. 』
『 Please select your difficulty. 』

A mysterious system window appeared before Seong-yun, offering him an invitation to join the Tower of Trials—an otherworldly realm where challengers must overcome trials that pit them against both monsters and humans alike. Unlike the real world where his stats never increased, this tower promises rewards directly proportional to chosen difficulty.

Seong-yun’s world flips on a dime. For the first time in seven years, he has a real chance. But the tower is merciless: one wrong move means death, and competitors will kill without hesitation for rewards. Armed with nothing but his failed training and desperate determination, Seong-yun steps into the tower. Can a talentless nobody survive and claim the power he desperately needs? His journey of boundless ascension begins now.
