Ok this story took me by surprise I thought it was going to be ass but it wasn't I would say that it's great even.The Mc is interesting not some lame guy from off the streets plus he doesn't have any super powerful ability right from the get go, but he does have something interesting .the world also seems cool and the way he got there as well, like he made a deal with a devil not a god.

This review is based upon the first 15 chapters.
This is a fun concept, a well-prepared man accepting a faustian contract for limited power, to evolve to something complete after finishing a seemingly impossible task. While the MC is competent, he is still prone to fail more than he succeeds which keeps the stakes high. The pacing is fast, which makes being swept up into the story very easy, and the style is extremely easy to follow.
The plot has yet to become visible at this point as the MC is still adjusting to the situation he's in and gathering resources and intelligence. There's certainly some hints of a couple of things going on in the background that I am confident will be fleshed out as things progress.
The characters thus far have been a little generic and could certainly benefit from being fleshed out a little more. We know a little about the main character but there's been little to no information regarding who he is beyond being ambitious, rich, well-prepared, intuitive, manipulative and competent. There's very little emotion from the character and very little humanising him, althought this may be deliberate. Hopefully this will pick up as he gets more chances to interact with others.
Grammar is solid, although there seems to be a tendency to mix homophones (e.g. manner instead of manor).
