Soul Harvester: I Can Evolve My Traits Endlessly

Lucien Alaric Everhart was supposed to be nothing more than an insignificant extra.

A noble heir with mediocre mana affinity, no awakened magic, and no remarkable achievements, Lucien lived an ordinary life alongside his loving family until his final academy mission, but a single mistake by the academy's celebrated Hero Party led to a catastrophic battle.

Lucien had no chance of surviving.

Yet when death came, he chose to save his best friend.

And then—

He opened his eyes one year before the tragedy.

But something was different.

The Lucien who had died was no longer the one controlling his body, and a brilliant strategist from another world had transmigrated into the young noble's body.

And unlike the original Lucien, his soul possessed an extraordinary affinity for mana.

More importantly—

He awakened a Trait connected to the Soul. With it came a mysterious system capable of extracting, combining, and evolving Traits from anything that possessed a soul.

Monsters.

Magical beasts.

Humans.

Undead.

Even ancient beings that should have long since vanished from the world.

[Soul Trait detected.]

[Necromancy acquired.]

[Trait Evolution unlocked.]

Lucien has one year before the tragedy to prepare, grow stronger, to prevent the deaths of those around him and the disaster that once claimed his life.

But there is one problem.

His awakening as a Necromancer has attracted the attention of the very Hero Party whose mistake was supposed to cause his death.

The mysterious Hero, Cassian Valemont, is nothing like Lucien expected.

Rather than an arrogant protagonist, he is a distant and surprisingly decent noble heir, with an unsettling ability to see through Lucien's carefully constructed plans.

From mutual suspicion to reluctant cooperation, the two gradually become trusted partners. Meanwhile, Lucien begins building something of his own.

A hidden army, a collection of evolving Traits, a territory where the living and the dead coexist.

And eventually—

A force capable of challenging the ancient secrets hidden beneath the world.

Because Lucien soon discovers that the story he once knew was incomplete.

None of it is what the original story claimed.

And the deeper Lucien digs, the more terrifying the truth becomes.

He wasn't transmigrated into this world merely to change the story, but his very soul may be connected to the reason the story existed in the first place.
