He was assigned Rank Zero. Everyone assumed that meant he'd lost.
The System activated without warning — mid-exam, mid-breath, mid-life. Every student at Aurendell Academy woke up with a Class. A path. A future written in glowing text only they could see.
Except him.
[SYSTEM CLASS ASSIGNED — RANK ZERO]
No skills. No stats worth bragging about. No place in the hierarchy that mattered. The instructors filed him under "failure." His classmates didn't bother learning his name.
They were all wrong.
Rank Zero doesn't generate power. It takes it — copying, nullifying, rewriting the abilities of anyone who gets close enough to underestimate him.
Nobody's noticed yet. That's the whole point.
But someone at the top of Aurendell already knows exactly what Rank Zero is. They've buried it before. They'll bury it again — unless he levels fast enough to stop them first.
