In a world where power and strategy reign supreme, Ethan Vale finds himself reborn with a curse and a unique ability-Skill Mimicry. Betrayed and killed in his first life, Ethan awakens in the body of a young man who met a similar fate, with a fatal scar as a reminder of his new, fragile existence.

Now living in the treacherous town of Hallowford, controlled by a corrupt guild that preys on the weak, Ethan must navigate a world of dungeons, magic, and political intrigue. With only his wits and the power to copy the skills of those he encounters, Ethan must rise through the ranks, mastering his curse while keeping his true strength hidden from those who seek to control him.

But survival in this world isn\'t just about gaining power-it\'s about outsmarting enemies, both seen and unseen. Will Ethan be able to ascend from a common civilian to a force feared by all, or will his past come back to haunt him once more?

\"Ascension of the Cursed One\" is a tale of cunning, survival, and the relentless pursuit of freedom in a world where the only rule is to never let your guard down.

    This is a Good Story with potential to be among the top fantasy ones.
    I have to say that originally i came to just test some chapters but now I am hooked . Waiting for the next chapters ......

    And his ability to mimic .... can't he copy the skills of the so-called divine one who reincarnated him?.

    Looking forward to new chapters . I hope you will succeed in your writing .

    Wow! What a unique setting! A dark fantasy story where the main protagonist, Ethan Vale, has the power to mimic any ability he can see. As powerful as that sounds he is matched by a dark guild filled with assassins and magic users that have cultivated their unique abilities.

    It's dark, it's action packed, it's filled to the vrim with mystery which keeps you guessing. Highly recommend!

    This is a beautifully crafted novel, and its uniqueness is beyond imagination. While I'm not usually a fan of first-person writing, this book has changed my perspective. I would love to read more chapters.

    This is a first person immersion into a dark world directly through the MC's eyes. If you're looking to dive in and follow along, it'll grab you from the jump. The system is presented clearly without bogging down the start of the story, and I can't wait to see how the MC will use it to rise!

    Grammar is on point with a tint of first person perspective. I do love how each action he takes is expressed in the skill status. Its easy to read and quite understanding for a system novel. Kudos to the author, would be expecting more.

    A straightforward litRPG, but with its own mysteries and twists to keep it fresh. The story opens in medua res - the protagonist has died and already had his meeting in the after life, and we are left only guessing what happened and why.

    As stands, the 'curse' could be more substantial, but -10% HP may end up playing out as more annoying for the MC than one may initially expect. There are many questions: what kind of person was the MC? Why does he make some morally questionable choices so easily? Do others in this world have curses or even blessings?

    There is much to answer, explore, and build with this story. If you're interested in a story that starts similarly to many litRPGs but carries with it the promise of intrigue and twists, including that of the protagonist themselves, this is worth checking out.
