Sorry for the wait.

Recap:

Akira, a youth of unparalleled kindness, was as stubborn as he was compassionate. The day he unlocked his system, a twist of fate occurred - he was granted the gift of immortality.

His perseverance and determination had won him the respect of many. Akira had faced a multitude of adversaries in his path, each fascinating in their own way. Among them were the Mikadzukis, a zealous collective consumed by their desire to resurrect an ancient deity of presumed malevolence.

His first task was to thwart the Mikadzukis' plans. Despite his preference for solitary missions, the King, the epitome of authority and a status that Akira aspired to attain, assigned him to a team.

His initial assignment was with Sazoru's squad, a team steeped in memories. He had been part of their ranks for weeks before he was ultimately re-assigned.

His new mission placed him with the Thousand Blade squad, a challenge that dwarfed his previous experience with the Red Phoenix squad. Based on this assignment alone, he was now deemed worthy to ascend to the rank of B+.

Now, Akira and his companions have come to a harrowing realization: each task was more difficult than the last. They gritted their teeth, steeled their nerves, and trained relentlessly for the trials that awaited them. However, when his system unexpectedly malfunctioned, Akira began to suspect that there was more to his newfound powers than met the eye.
