SSS Gambler: I Tricked the Constellations with My Trash Stats

CodeNexus
[The Constellation ‘Eden’ is sweating while watching your actions] [The Constellation ‘Righteous Savior’ is confused by your survival] .... When a rift opened in the sky, thousands of humans were pulled into a blood-soaked Tutorial. Leia, Ian’s childhood best friend, drew an S-Rank Class. She was instantly hailed as a prodigy, forming the largest survival faction and ascending as humanity's flawless Savior. Ian drew an F-Rank Class and straight F-Rank stats across the board. In a death game where rations and safe zones were bought with blood, there was no place for friendship. As Leia was surrounded by more and more powerful awakeners from humanity, Ian was subtly pushed in the back and almost forgotten, until he was seen as a liability. Unwilling to drag around an F-Rank liability, but terrified of the tutorial's crippling Karma penalty for directly murdering a fellow Earthling, Leia got creative. During the first major raid of the Tutorial, she shoved Ian into the deepest abyss, framing it as a tragic accident to keep her righteous image spotless. She expected the problem to disappear forever. She didn't account for Ian's only trait that had yet to awaken: [Absolute Coincidence] That single push started a chain reaction that would change the world forever. Now, the weakest man in the multiverse was on a path of no return, one that requires him to desperately gamble his way past arrogant heroes, Constellations, and the increasingly paranoid Regressor, all while trying to survive and become stronger.

The Halo Effect

Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER] *original cover by me *character portraits commissioned
