“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

A ghost of a voice unnatural and unheard of ever before sung a tune that was euphoric yet ghastly.

"Who could it be?" Yve asked looking over at Aksel for an explanation, deciding from before that it was only him who could come to a conclusion to this if any.

"It didn't seem like it was one particular person singing, or was it that the sound just echoed into making us believe it is more than one?" Aksel said and with careful steps they walked a little to the side hoping to catch a glimpse of what had been making this sound.

No one could be seen and yet there was a hope that it would be better if they didn't see anyone till the end.

"Let's try to get out of here first, this a very weird place," Renee chastened not liking that just in the journey she had to already start fighting especially when she just wanted to sleep.
