Humanity was never meant to survive here. When a colony ship passed through an artificial wormhole, something went catastrophically wrong. Instead of reaching its intended destination, the colonists found themselves stranded on a habitable world in another universe—one saturated with an unknown energy they came to call mana. Technology began to fail. To survive, humanity created nanobots capable of allowing the human body to interact with mana. Over generations, those nanobots became part of human biology, and their interface became known simply as the System. Classes. Skills. Attributes. Magic. Thousands of years later, no one remembers that the System was ever technology. It is religion. It is law. It determines your profession, your status, your marriage prospects, and your worth. And sometimes, when a child is tested, nothing appears. No class. No skills. No future. They are called Worthless. Born into a respectable family of Healers, Nestor suffers that fate. Hidden from society by a mother unwilling to abandon him, he spends his childhood as a family secret. But when she dies during a distant incursion, his protection dies with her. Cast out at sixteen, he is forced to live among the Worthless—the unwanted people society has condemned to its lowest ranks. Then his System finally activates. His class is unlike anything anyone has seen before. RED-MR. A forgotten designation from an age no one remembers. And with it comes an impossible ability: He can restore the System of the Worthless. One person at a time, the people discarded by society begin to awaken. And if the Worthless were never truly worthless, then the political order, the priesthood, and the faith that has ruled humanity for centuries are built on a lie. What begins as an attempt to save a few forgotten people may become a revolution. And eventually, a war.
