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

"Why are you all staring at me like that?"

Aksel was perplexed to find all the people that he had loved since to be maintaining a distance from him as if they had caught the plague.

"And what is he doing here?" he asked with an accusatory tone taking over at the presence of Neo sitting there normally sipping at some of the soup that they had cooked by the fire. The four of them still stayed silent watching his every move and when he wasn't given the answers that he wished for he looked over at Neo only to find him sardonically smiling at him.

Deciding that it would be best to just go to them he tried to get up to a standing position when he found that he had been tied to a tree.

"What the fuck? Why am I tied to a tree? No, wait why is there a tree here?" he asked, the last place that he remembered to be the city of Austellus. It took him a moment to realize that he had in fact been surrounded by trees on all sides, "Are we in the forest?"
