Power System and Key Information

RBC - Red blood cell

Humans are incredibly intelligent beings, and RBC energy is one of their miracles. Some say this discovery is as beautiful as the birth of humanity itself. Throughout history, humans developed a way to store small amounts of energy in each red blood cell. By consuming the energy in these cells, humans can perform outstanding feats.

There are no bounds to the possibilities with this power. From incredible speed to super strength, mind-blowing illusions to reality-warping abilities, the limits are virtually endless. However, just like you can't choose your parents at birth, you also can't choose your power.

History

The first ever RBC awakening method was through inhaling a gas, which allowed people to unlock their powers. Initially, these powers were under control. However, with the spread of DNA radiation and the illegal marketing of RBC gases, the upper classes attempted to contain the problem, but it was too late. The effects had already spread globally within 27 days.

Upper classes falsely claimed it was their plan all along, which initially worked because people embraced the new boon in their hands. Human society reshaped as a result of this power— the poor became stronger, and the rich grew weaker. It felt like a long-dreamed world of equality had finally come true.

Using RBC, the lifelong dream of becoming a hero seems achievable. However, as RBC power spread among the population, criminal activities also skyrocketed alongside the rise of heroes.

Using RBC, everyone's lifelong dream of becoming a hero seemed possible. However, alongside the rise of heroes, human selfishness grew even more. As a result, society began to collapse in the early days. But then, a man known as the brightest light of humanity appeared. He somehow single-handedly held society together, causing crime rates to decrease drastically and restoring humanity's hope.

Heroes

Heroes in society play a pivotal role as they are the building blocks of the modern era. Being a hero is one of the highest roles a human can achieve. From defending their country to protecting their hometown, and from fighting misfits to combating criminals, every high-honor job is undertaken by heroes.

Every RBC awakening is given a grade after evaluation in an official NSHO building.

The grading system ranks potential from E, D, C, B, A, to S. Each letter represents a different level of potential, with E being the lowest and S being the highest. These grades are used to evaluate and record an individual's capabilities and potential.

The ranks that determine your strength and RBC energy are as follows:

- F

- E

- D

- C

- B

- A

- S

- SS

- SSS

Each rank represents a different level of strength and RBC energy, with F being the lowest and SSS being the highest.

It's widely recognized that there are only about 81 SS rankers and 1 SSS ranker are alive globally. As the ranks descend to lower levels, the number of individuals holding those ranks increases significantly.

Each rank is divided into stages, ranging from 0 to 9. As individuals progress through these stages, their power increases significantly with each step.

Government organization

The NSHO (National Service of Heroes Organization) is a government agency with the primary motive of protecting citizens from calamities like misfits while also controlling criminal activities within the country.

The ISHO (International Service of Heroes Organization) is a treaty signed by almost every country to protect humanity from continental or above-level threats and to colonize other planets for Earth.

Misfits

Misfits are animals with RBC energy in them. When humanity started to experience RBC awakening, animals also became infected. When a person awakens their RBC, it releases DNA radiation, causing living organisms around them to awaken as well. Animals, plants, and every single living organism with DNA in its genes are affected by this process.

When humanity found a cure, it was too late. DNA radiation spreads much faster in animals than in humans. As a result, forests have become off-limits for travel, as they are now home to misfits lurking in every corner.

And the reason DNA radiation spreads faster in animals than humans is mainly due to three factors:

1. Aging - Just like humans, animals also get stronger with age. A short-lived animal first uses its RBC energy to extend its lifespan and then invests in its other attributes. By this method, the longer an organism lives, the stronger it gets. These types of misfits are called regular misfits.

2. Cross-breeding - When different species of misfits breed together, they create hybrid misfits with the abilities of both parents, forming an entirely new species bloodline. These hybrids are often stronger than regular misfits and are known as hybrid misfits.

3. Evolution - Similar to humans, each generation of misfits grows stronger. However, for this evolution to occur, both parents must be of the same species, otherwise it results in a hybrid misfit. The strength of evolved misfits almost doubles compared to the previous generation, turning them into killing machines not only for humans but for other misfits as well.

The stronger the misfits get, the more DNA radiation they emit. As a result, almost every animal has turned into a misfit. While most misfits are killed before they can approach human populations, a few occasionally evade detection and cause havoc in cities.
