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

There was a ringing sensation in his head as Aksel slowly started to gain consciousness. His eyes tried to open as his senses became more alert but the pain was making it difficult for his brain to send proper signals to his body as he decided to wait for the drumming in his head to cascade.

As he waited for this crawling pain in his skull to take its time washing way he tried using his other senses to determine his surroundings. It was a blessing that he still remembers what had surpassed which was sign enough to let him know that there wasn't any major brain injury but for some reason his body was taking more time than usual to get over the hurt.

Trying to use his ears he waited for the ringing to clear up a little as he finally caught sound of some mumbling making his body stiffens up.
