Two hundred years after an apocalypse reshaped reality, Freddy Stern — an orphaned twenty-one-year-old cashier — barely survives a near-death encounter and walks away with a single talent: 1% Lifesteal. With every enemy he kills, he grows fractionally stronger and heals any wound. The question is not whether his body will break — it will not. The question is whether his mind will.
