THE S-RANK DEFECT

Oh, great. Another underdog story. Except this underdog was born with six S-ranks, broke the scanner, and got branded a defect by a corrupt agent who couldn’t handle the truth. Classic. Welcome to a world where the Hex Grid decides your worth, Flux is your power, and if you run out mid-fight? Congratulations. Now you’re burning lifespan. Fun system. Zorian Sterling got dumped in Worker class anyway. A slave. An anchor. A joke. But he remembers a past life. A death. A promise. And he’s not here to climb their corrupt ladder. He’s here to torch it. At an academy full of scarred geniuses and untouchable monsters, he’ll stand beside the Genius of the Dark, hunt horrors born from Godwounds, and learn techniques capable of making reality kneel. They should have let him die. Read it. Or don’t. The Defect doesn’t care. He’s already coming. .
