Paragon of Skills

Jacob Cloud, a miner’s son in the dead-end town of Shit’s Creek, expects nothing but an early grave—until a cave-in drops him into a hidden chamber. There, he finds a Rainbow-ranked Skill Crystal, a treasure so rare empires wage wars over them. But instead of granting him power or strength, it bestows *The Grimoire Extraordinaire*, a support Skill that reveals flaws in any technique or item. No fireballs, no invincibility—just cold, brutal analysis. Undaunted, Jacob turns the Grimoire’s insights inward, refining his basic skills to perfection. By the time he escapes the mines, he’s transformed his body and mana control beyond anything the nobles’ trained heirs could match. Now, armed with nothing but relentless ingenuity, he sets his sights on the one path that was never meant for him: becoming a Knight. But the world isn’t ready for a nobody who can dismantle its strongest Skills—and those who guard their power won’t let him rise without a fight.
