The Cold Touch of Destiny

Azrael Lee is a man defined by his icy demeanor and an extraordinary secret – the ability to copy any skill by touch. In a modern Earth where a mysterious level-up system has emerged, granting humans abilities and pushing society into a new era of power and peril, Azrael uses his unique 'Skill Mimicry' to carve a path of strength. However, his cold exterior masks a deep-seated fear of intimacy, a defense mechanism against the chaos his power could unleash if he touches the wrong person, or worse, someone he cares for. When he accidentally copies a crucial social skill from a vibrant, empathetic woman who challenges his entire worldview, he finds himself unwillingly drawn into a romantic entanglement. This forces him to confront not only his personal demons and the ethical dilemmas of his power but also a hidden threat lurking within the newly leveled-up world, a threat that might require more than just copied skills—it demands genuine connection. Can Azrael learn to open his heart and truly 'level up' his humanity before both his world and his fragile romance crumble?
