Home/Action/The Mortician's Echo

by john1208·Translated by Novel AI Studio
The world ended not with a bang, but with a blue screen at my parents’ funeral. I'm Tadek, a former mortuary assistant, and along with my little sister Otylia, I was ripped from Earth and thrown onto Veridian Reach, a continent governed by a cruel game-like System. While everyone else got god-tier combat skills, I was branded with the universe's most pathetic ability: [Appraisal]. I was a joke, a dead man walking, another piece of driftwood in a sea of monsters and killers. But my skill sees things others can't. It doesn't just read stats; it deconstructs reality. I found the exploit - the echo. By Appraising an object down to its conceptual core, I can create a perfect, temporary duplicate. A single S-rank healing elixir can become a dozen. One priceless skill book can teach an army. Now, the powerful clans who hoard these treasures want my eyes on a platter. They don't know my real secret: my Appraisal shows me a hidden timer on my sister's life, and it's counting down fast. Can I master my forbidden craft in time to save her, or will we both become just another statistic in the System's quiet apocalypse?
