The angel's wings folded behind her, spilling golden light across the plaza.
"The System will now evaluate your souls,"
she declared, voice calm yet absolute.
"Class and rarity shall be assigned. None may choose their path. Fate decides."
Blue light cascaded through the crowd. Holographic panels unfolded before every human, alive with streaming text.
[Analyzing soul signature...]
[Determining compatibility...]
[Assigning class...]
Lucas's screen, however, jittered violently.
[Analyzing soul signature...]
[Compatibility detected: 0.02 %]
[Error: Undefined code fragment located.]
[Attempting correction…]
[Correction failed.]
[System unstable.]
Static clawed across his vision. His panel blinked black, then white, then blazed into gold.
A low hum spread through the plaza; eyes turned toward him.
[Warning: Class data unavailable.]
[Searching forbidden archives…]
[Result: CLASS FOUND — "Systemless" (Divine Variant)]
[Initialization commencing.]
Light burst around him. The angel's head snapped up, eyes narrowing.
"Divine?" she whispered. "That cannot be… so there's two divine ranks this time around"
The glow condensed in his hands—metal forming from pure light.
When it faded, he held two compact weapons, their barrels traced with living runes of gold.
Silence rippled outward.
Lucas blinked. "These… look like guns."
"Unregistered weapon type detected," the angel thundered.
The relics pulsed in his grip—Genesis and Requiem—their rhythm syncing with his pulse.
[Weapon Class: Divine Relics]
[Authorization Override: Accepted]
He exhaled. "Guess the System likes to improvise."
The angel's gaze hardened. "You are an anomaly."
Artifact Selection
[Proceeding to Artifact Selection]
[Choose two Rare Artifacts from your generated list.]
New panels shimmered before every player. While others shouted over swords and armor, Lucas's screen glitched again.
[Error loading standard artifact library.]
[Displaying recovered prototypes…]
Two unstable holograms appeared:
1 – Skystep Soles
Allows a secondary jump by condensing mana beneath the feet.
Warning: stability 62 %.
2 – Insight Lenses
Projects holographic data on enemies: weak points, intent prediction.
Warning: neural strain possible.
He smirked. "Guess I'll take the broken ones."
Blue rings spiraled around his boots, shaping into sleek black-and-silver soles etched with azure runes.
Thin golden-tinted glasses shimmered into place, data scrolling across their lenses.
The angel's stare sharpened. "A Divine class. Forbidden relics. Human, you defy every constant written into the System."
Lucas shrugged. "Not my fault your code's buggy."
A soft chime sounded.

Lucas studied the faintly flickering runes along their frames. "They feel… incomplete," he murmured. "Like they're holding back."
The weapons pulsed once, as if agreeing.
The angel lifted her hand; the ground trembled.
"Prepare yourselves, chosen of Earth. The Trial begins now."
Light erupted, devouring the plaza.
When it faded, Lucas stood on cracked stone beneath a blood-red sky.
Shouts and screams echoed through fog-choked ruins.
The Uzis hummed weakly, Soles thrummed underfoot, Lenses flickered with lines of data.
[Tutorial Objective: Survive.]
Lucas gave a dry laugh. "Figures."
He raised his weapons just as the first creature lunged from the mist.
