“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

"Why didn't you use your own weapon?" Yve grumbled taking the spear from his hand as she wiped the blood of it on the dead man's clothes. She had expected some type of snarky remark from Aksel but there was nothing as such as she watched him stare at the scene before him.

The eyes that had been sparkling with life before now dully stared above, the lips that were pulled into a smile was now parted open with blood flowing out of it. The air and the commotion all that had gripped Aksel before in the last few seconds was now as still as the lifeless body below him as he continued to felt the numbness of his actions grip his mind.

Noticing the lost look in his eyes Yve sighed feeling slight pity for him but she reckoned that pity and grief could be kept for later as she slowly placed his hand on his back and rubbing it slightly she said, "I know it's hard for you but we need to get out from here."
