Laverne never believed in the supernatural. To him, life was already complicated enough without worrying about things like ghosts or reincarnation. But when a reckless act of bravery ends in fire and chaos, he wakes up to something far worse than death—an unfamiliar world governed by an unfathomable system.

Marked as an Anomaly, an existence that shouldn't be, he finds himself entangled in forces beyond mortal comprehension. The world he is reborn into runs on the concept of Ka, the essence of life and fate itself. Yet, unlike others, his Ka does not conform—it rebels. The system that governs this world struggles to define him, its very framework warping around his presence.

With each step forward, he realizes that his mere existence is enough to tip the scales of destiny. Some will seek to control him. Others will try to erase him. But one truth remains:

'In a world where fate reigns supreme, what happens when something stands outside of its design?'

Anomaly of Fate

The hall buzzed with murmurs and hushed whispers as students reacted to the announcement. Some were nodding in understanding, as if the results had been exactly what they expected. Others exchanged glances, clearly reevaluating their own performances in comparison. A few, especially those who had interacted with the top-ranked students, rushed forward, eager to congratulate them.

Mikhail, ever the charismatic noble, accepted the attention with his usual smugness, basking in the praise of his peers. Solanne, in contrast, merely acknowledged those who approached her with polite nods, maintaining an air of regal composure.

Even Eterna—the ever lonesome girl—wasn't exempt from the attention. Before she could even react, Raine bounded up to her, sparkling her eyes with excitement.

"Eterna! You actually made it to second place? That's amazing!"

Raine beamed, grabbing her by the shoulders.

"See? I knew you were strong!"
