"System Zero: The Last Awakening" Ten years ago, the world changed overnight. Every human on Earth received a System — a supernatural interface granting abilities, ranks, and power beyond imagination. Hunters rose. Empires were built. A new world order was established on a single rule: your Rank is your worth. Ethan Voss received nothing. Declared a Null at eighteen, he spent a decade surviving at the bottom of a society that had no use for him — invisible, powerless, and forgotten. Then a dying Celestial-class Hunter crashes through his window in the middle of the night and transfers something into him before taking his last breath. A System. But not like any other. Glitched. Broken. Unranked. It calls itself System Zero — the original, built before the world's Systems were standardized and limited. It doesn't grant abilities. It learns them. Copies them. Evolves them beyond their original form. Every enemy Ethan fights makes him stronger. Every ability he's exposed to becomes his. And nobody — not the Hunter Association, not the shadowy organization already hunting him, not even his own allies — can ever know. Because the moment they find out what he carries, they won't try to recruit him. They'll try to erase him. Just like they erased the man who had it before. Zero was where he started. Zero has no ceiling.
