My Assassin System:
In a world where superhumans are categorized by the power of their cores—mighty Alphas and capable Betas—sixteen-year-old Ark Greystone is a Null. Powerless. Invisible. A bullied nerdy boy destined to watch his two childhood friends, a prodigious pyrokinetic and a brilliant telepath-telekinetic, ascend to the heights of the Hero Academy while he is left behind in the dust of their awakening.
The day before the fateful entrance exam, as Ark resigns himself to a future in the science and tech wing, a final gift from his late grandfather changes everything: a mysterious USB drive that doesn't just contain data—it downloads a system directly into his mind.
When he wakes, a mechanical interface is permanently etched into his vision: The Assassin System.
Suddenly, Ark is no longer a Null. His core is classified, his rank expunged from official records. He possesses not flashy elemental powers, but the cold, precise knowledge of a predator: anatomy, stealth protocols, weapon mastery, and the calculated means to exploit any weakness. While heroes summon fire and move objects with their minds, Ark calculates kill zones and pressure points.
Now, he must navigate the treacherous waters of the Hero Academy, where familiar friends are growing distant, old bullies are now empowered enemies, and new faces—a cold, aloof swordswoman with impossible strength and a nerdy boy with elastic abilities—complicate his path. All while hiding the terrifying truth of his power from everyone, including himself.
But as Gateways to monstrous Otherworlds threaten humanity, Ark is forced to ask: was this system designed to create a hero... or something else entirely? To survive, he must level up, unlock the System's deadly secrets, and decide if he will use this power to protect the world that rejected him, or to carve out his own destiny from the shadows.
