In a world where power decided everything, being last meant being nothing.
At the age of sixteen, every student awakened a System.
Some gained strength.
Some gained magic.
Some gained abilities that could change the world.
And some… gained nothing.
---
The Awakening Hall was filled with excitement.
Golden screens floated above each student's head.
"SS Rank Fire Mage!"
"A Rank Sword Master!"
"S Rank Healer!"
Cheers echoed everywhere.
---
Then it was my turn.
I stepped forward quietly.
The instructor looked at me.
"Name?"
"Rayan."
He nodded.
"Place your hand on the crystal."
I did.
The crystal glowed—
Then flickered.
Then dimmed.
Then—
Nothing.
---
Silence.
The screen above me appeared.
Blank.
Then slowly, words formed:
Rank: F
Skill: None
Potential: 0%
---
Laughter exploded.
"Zero potential?"
"Even worse than useless!"
"He's completely finished!"
I stood there.
Quiet.
Empty.
---
That day, I became invisible.
Friends stopped talking.
Teachers ignored me.
Even my own family avoided eye contact.
Because in this world—
Weakness was a crime.
---
But that night—
Something impossible happened.
---
At exactly 2:00 AM—
I woke up.
My room was dark.
But in front of me—
A black screen floated.
Not golden.
Not normal.
Dark.
Glitching.
---
Text appeared slowly:
System Error Detected
Reassigning System…
My heart stopped.
"What…?"
Another line appeared.
System Assignment Failed
No suitable System found
Then—
Everything froze.
---
A final message appeared:
Creating Custom System…
---
The screen changed.
Completely.
---
Hidden System Activated
Name: Void System
Abilities:
✔ Absorb (Steal power from defeated targets)
✔ Evolve (No growth limit)
✔ Rewrite (Locked)
---
I couldn't breathe.
"No growth… limit?"
---
The next day, nothing looked different.
People still laughed.
Still ignored me.
Still saw me as Rank F.
---
But I knew the truth.
---
During training, a Rank C student pushed me.
"Move, trash."
Normally, I would stay silent.
But this time—
I didn't.
"I challenge you," I said.
The entire class went silent.
Then burst into laughter.
"Did he just…?"
"An F Rank challenging a C Rank?"
---
The fight started.
He attacked first.
Fast.
Strong.
I barely dodged.
Pain shot through my arm.
---
Then—
Something activated.
---
Absorb Triggered
Strength +3
Speed +2
---
I froze.
"Mid-fight… I'm getting stronger?"
---
He attacked again.
This time—
I reacted faster.
---
Absorb Triggered
Strength +5
Speed +4
---
The class slowly went quiet.
Something was wrong.
---
The third attack—
I blocked it.
---
Gasps filled the room.
---
"What…?" he whispered.
---
I stepped forward.
Calm.
---
Absorb Triggered
Skill Copied: Impact Strike
---
In one move—
I knocked him to the ground.
---
Silence.
Total silence.
---
The instructor stared at me.
"This is impossible…"
---
But that wasn't the end.
---
That night—
The system spoke again.
---
Warning: You have been detected.
My heart dropped.
"Detected… by who?"
---
Far away—
In a hidden facility—
Screens lit up.
Data streamed rapidly.
---
"Anomaly found," a voice said.
"Rank F… showing abnormal growth."
---
Another voice responded:
"Send observers."
---
Back in my room—
I felt it.
Someone was watching me.
---
Days passed.
I grew stronger.
Faster.
Better.
---
Every fight—
Every challenge—
Made me evolve.
---
But something else changed too.
---
The system began unlocking.
---
Rewrite: 1% Unlocked
---
"What is Rewrite?" I whispered.
---
The answer came instantly.
---
Ability: Rewrite
Description: Change system rules
---
My mind went blank.
"Change… the rules?"
---
That meant—
Ranks.
Skills.
Power.
Everything—
Could be rewritten.
---
And that's when I understood.
---
I wasn't just strong.
---
I was dangerous.
---
The academy tournament began a week later.
All ranks gathered.
All eyes watching.
---
I entered quietly.
Still labeled:
F Rank.
---
First match—
Victory.
Second—
Victory.
Third—
Victory.
---
People stopped laughing.
---
Fourth match—
Against Rank A.
---
The battle shook the arena.
Power clashed.
Energy exploded.
---
But I didn't stop.
I didn't slow down.
---
Because I had no limit.
---
In the final moment—
I activated it.
---
Rewrite Activated.
---
The golden ranks above everyone's heads—
Shattered.
---
Real ranks appeared.
Hidden truths exposed.
---
The entire arena gasped.
---
Because the strongest student—
Wasn't actually Rank S.
---
And me?
---
My screen turned completely black.
---
Then—
New words appeared.
---
True Rank: Undefined
---
Silence fell over the world.
---
Because I wasn't meant to be ranked.
---
I was the one—
Who would rewrite everything.
---
And somewhere in the shadows—
A voice whispered:
"He has awakened."
---
The game had just begun.
