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 man looked like he had been in his early thirties with dark hair that had been dripping wet from the ends of the pony tail that he had tied at the base of his neck while a few stray strands framed his scarred face. He wasn't built on the heavier side like Aksel and Mort but the lack of them had been well matched with the agility that his body possessed along with the fearlessness.

"You are the oldest person I have ever met," Renee blurted out honestly as she stared at him not believing her eyes.

"Well, that wasn't what I had expected to hear and I don't know if that is a compliment or not," he trailed of slightly awkward at the topic that had been brought up. What was he to say?
