“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

Aksel said staring at Yve's hand that was wrapped in a bandage and was only just slightly red as she sat there munching on some snacks sharing them with Renee.

"Be grateful you are even alive," Renee snorted pointing a chip at him as she said, "You barely came back from death, just a little but here and there and you would have been dead long ago."

It had been three days since Aksel lost his consciousness from the pain of the installation of the Brand on him. He had only woken up this morning much to everyone relief but no one was letting that on as easily as Mort did.

"You bastard do you even know how worried I was?" Mort said punching him on his good arm making him wince from the weakness that still gripped his body. Realizing that he has hurt him Mort quickly retracted his hand back and apologizing he said, "Sorry but instead of troubling yourself in any way you should take some rest."
