“An intruder has been detected.”
Was it talking about me? 
“The Branding System rejects this specimen for branding. The Subject must be eradicated.” The automated voice spoke again.  
What?
Panic rose within Aksel at once, he didn’t understand what was happening to him but he knew that in a few seconds he was going to be killed.
But why?
******
It was the year 3022 and Earth had gone through a series of changes reaching new technological and metaphysical heights. Humans had generated into a superior level of beings where they were now classified into three categories based on their body structure and strength when they came upon the age of twenty. 
This could be achieved by a process called The Branding System which branded the humans under one of the three categories of Contrivos, Exters or Debilis making their body undergo a set of transformations respectively.
The world has lost its sense of equality and power is all that can help you survive and live a good life but when Aksel Bruwes is rejected by the system and remains unbranded, his life turns over completely.
How is he going to stay alive in this world where everyone is stronger than him and what is he going to do when he learns about the hideous truths about the System? 
Not to forget that the said System is after his life.

DISCLAIMER: This is not the usual “SYSTEM” novels that you read where a MC is provided with a SYSTEM that trains him to make him overpowered by levelling up. Here, SYSTEM means an organized scheme or method.

The Branding System

"This is going to be fun," Aksel muttered stretching out his limbs to let himself bask in the fresh air and sunlight that he had missed for the past one and a half months.

Suddenly he stumbled forward a little and looking at Yve's scowling face he heard her say, "Stop hogging up the entire entrance."

He had not been aware of many things when it came to Yve but he knew that she had found it greatly annoying to see him get more bulked up and stronger than what he was before to the point where she could no longer win a single fight with him.

She usually therefore took out her frustration in petty ways such as this.

Chuckling at her obviousness he caught up to her and grabbing her by the shoulder pulled her into a side hug as he said, "Come on stop being so grumpy all the time."

"Hey, that's what I tell her all the time," Mort said from ahead them turning back to glance at the frowning redhead and his best friend.
