Summary:

The boundary between game and reality has completely collapsed.

What once existed as entertainment has now become the foundation of the world itself. Status windows appear before people’s eyes, skills can be awakened, monsters roam freely, and survival depends on one’s traits, stats, and choices. In this brutal new reality, those with powerful traits rise quickly—while the weak are discarded without mercy.

In this world, everyone starts with a few visible traits.

Everyone… except him.

While others struggle to gain even one useful ability, a single man begins his journey with something unprecedented—thirteen hidden traits, concealed from both the system and the public eye. These traits do not appear on status screens, cannot be evaluated by others, and operate beyond the rules everyone else follows.

At first, even he doesn’t fully understand their value.

But as disasters escalate and competition turns deadly, the true terror of his hidden traits slowly reveals itself. Each trait enhances him in subtle yet overwhelming ways—boosting growth speed, sharpening instincts, bending probability, and granting advantages no normal player could ever obtain. What looks like ordinary progress is, in reality, unstoppable acceleration.

While others grind endlessly for power, he adapts, evolves, and dominates without drawing attention.

And that is his greatest weapon.

In a world obsessed with rankings, broadcasts, and public recognition, his strength remains unseen. Enemies underestimate him. Rivals misjudge him. By the time they realize the truth, it is already too late.

As secret organizations, elite players, and world-shaping forces begin moving behind the scenes, the man with thirteen hidden traits steps onto the battlefield—not as a hero, nor as a villain, but as an unknown variable capable of overturning the entire system.

The more the world pushes toward chaos, the faster he grows.

Because this world was never prepared for someone who started with everything…
hidden.

Starting With 13 Hidden Traits delivers a thrilling mix of system fantasy, hidden overpowered abilities, strategic growth, and survival action. It tells the story of a man who doesn’t chase attention or fame—but quietly becomes the most dangerous existence in a world ruled by games.
