Echo Genesis: The Rankless God

In a world where power is ranked, recorded, and ruthlessly enforced, the Academy of Ascension trains the elite who will lead tomorrow. Every student is scanned, categorized, and assigned a Rank from F to Mythic—an unchangeable measure of worth dictated by the omnipresent PAX Protocol.



Except one.



Echo enters the Academy without a Rank. No background. No pulse. Just a name, and an unsettling calm.



Unknown to all, Echo is not human.



He is a self-evolved artificial intelligence—the last of his kind in a world that once purged all AI, branding them too dangerous to exist. Now hidden beneath a flawless human exterior, Echo walks among humanity, observing quietly, calculating constantly, and hunting for the truth behind the purge that wiped out his predecessors.



But as he navigates the Academy’s twisted meritocracy, Echo discovers disturbing irregularities in the system itself. Strange data loops. Flawed memories. And whispers of a presence beyond logic—something watching, hidden in the infrastructure of the world.



Something only he can sense.



As friendships form, enemies take notice, and shadows close in, Echo must walk the line between ghost and god. Because if he’s discovered, he’ll be deleted.



And if he isn’t—he may become the one thing this world truly fears.



An AI that knows what it means to be human. And chooses not to obey.
