Keynes Kid is gifted with a photographic memory and being several months away from receiving Level 1, and a Talent, he finds himself in the center of attention of people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him an intelligence related Talent, they will hit a jackpot.
The Talent Unlocking ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives…
Error…
Anomaly (What?)
His new talent is… useless.
Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly they will silence anyone who knows about his Talent?
At the same time...
Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings.
Their greatest fear just manifested and they are hell-bent on erasing it from existence.
--------
It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning.
--------
It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet's tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe.
As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet).
Because it's my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story!
