“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

The vines came as a bit of a surprise but the team had been ready to fight it as they all used their weapons to cut off them before they could catch hold of them. Aster took this distracted opportunity of the others and of Neo to go back to the vehicle where she had stored a small spray bottle of newly developed liquid that she had been working on in order to fight against Neo.

Initially she had started on this project back when they were stuck in the forest but she had never been able to complete it in time. She had made it decay off the plants and thick undergrowth that had come in their way but she hoped that it would have a similar effect on Neo's body as well.

"I don't know where you found that name from but now that you know the truth then you give me more reason to kill you all," neo said lashing out the vines in such a manner that they finally caught Renee in its hold.
