THE S-RANK DEFECT

In a world ruled by corrupt Cartels, your life is defined by the Hex Grid. Your stats are your worth. Your Flux is your lifespan. When Zorian Sterling was born, the medical scanners didn't just malfunction—they broke. Six boxes on the grid. Six flawless S-Ranks. He was an anomaly, a god-tier talent born into a brutal society that sacrifices children for energy. But instead of crowning him, a corrupt Cartel agent buried the truth. Branded a "Defect" and tossed into the lowest Worker class, Zorian was supposed to be a forgotten slave, forced to serve the elite. They made a fatal mistake. Zorian isn't a normal child. Armed with the traumatic memories of a past life, an S-Rank physical density that shatters axes on impact, and a ruthless mindset, he is entering the deadly Academy system. He is about to face the nightmare elites of the Protectorate, starting with the terrifying sensory-deprivation of Nyx and the untouchable Arashi of the Ushimoto Clan. Zorian doesn't want to climb the ranks of their corrupt system. He wants to burn the Hex Grid to the ground so no child ever has to suffer again. What to Expect: • Ruthless Protagonist: An MC who doesn't hesitate to break bones. • Overpowered Lead: Secretly maxed-out S-Rank stats hiding in the lowest class. • Deep Magic System: The Hex Grid, where using power literally burns your lifespan. • Dark Fantasy/Cyberpunk Elements: Corrupt mega-cartels, floating cities, and brutal academy death-games.

Starting With SSS-rank: I Get A New Skill Every Livestream

One day, I decided to end my short livestreaming career. Not that I had ever started it with the intention of earning money. My life had hit rock bottom: a disappointment to my family, painfully average in academics, buried under massive debt after my company failed, and to top it all off, the one person who had been my emotional support, my loving girlfriend, cheated on me. Yes, life had turned into hell. So I chose to cut off all distractions and focus solely on my studies. However, the moment I went live to announce my decision, the few viewers I had exploded in rage. [There will be slaughter! Whoever made my Kyle sad deserves to burn in hell!] [My time with Kyle… gone… that demands… massacre.] [Kyle… Kyle… don’t go…] Then came a suggestion. [I have sent a gift for you. I hope that helps change your mind.] That gift, sent by one of my regular viewers, completely changed my life. I learned that the world I lived in wasn’t as simple as I had believed. Nightmares, shadows, ghouls, curses… they were as real as humans. And with the blessing I received, I became part of that hidden world. On top of that, I received a system that sometimes rewards me simply for existing. It’s crazy. The viewers I thought were just regular people were all deities. •••••••• A/N: For the first few arcs, the protagonist will operate in secrecy, and there is a good reason for it. The main character will experience sudden growth in strength, as this story isn’t about gradual power-building but about personal connections and slice of life. Expect heavy slice of life in this one. And please read through the free chapters before passing judgment. https://ko-fi.com/rashcore
