Excerpt:
“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

"I can't believe we did that," Renee whispered as she saw the two fallen Contrivos near her feet. She had never killed a Contrivo before with her own hands and being able to do this had been a new achievement for her, in fact for all of them.

"We can't stay here any longer!" Aksel hurried at once when he got his sense making the others stare at him as he continued, "Don't just stare at me! Hurry up!"

"What about Aster?" Mort asked much to Yve's annoyance and thinking for a quick second he looked towards the door.

"We hardly have any choice. We can't afford to put any more of our life at risk," Aksel said as he guided the others out of the room. He felt it to be a waste to let such a talent be discarded here in this small and hopeless city only to die one day but he cared about his friends right now than a person he had just met yesterday.
