MY LEVEL SYSTEM, WHO IS THE WEAK ONE NOW?
In this world, strength is not merely power. It is identity, wealth, political influence, and the right to live without fear.
Every human being is born with martial veins, supernatural channels that determine how much martial energy their body can absorb, circulate, and convert into strength.
A child with superior veins receives the finest education, the best resources, and the respect of powerful families. A child with damaged veins is considered a wasted life.
Theo Vale is born with broken martial veins.
His father disappears under mysterious circumstances. His mother spends everything she has to secure him a place at the prestigious Celestial Martial Academy, believing that education might give her son a chance at a decent life.
Instead, Theo becomes the academy’s favourite punching bag.
He is humiliated by students, dismissed by instructors, and deliberately excluded from assessments. The academy’s most celebrated student, a young man from one of the empire’s most powerful families, makes a public spectacle of degrading him.
Theo endures it because his mother has sacrificed too much for him to abandon the academy.
Then, one night, a brutal beating leaves him dying on the training grounds.
Something awakens.

Chapter: 006The sound of wooden swords striking echoed across the academy’s eastern training ground as students gathered for the morning sparring session.Theo Vale stood at the edge of the crowd, keeping his injured hand tucked against his side. He had barely slept the previous night, and the memory of his mother trying to sell his father’s pendant still weighed heavily on his mind.He needed to train.He needed to become stronger.Most importantly, he needed to stop giving people like Cassian Draven reasons to believe they could do whatever they wanted to him.“Look who decided to show up.”Theo recognized the voice before he turned.Cassian approached with three students behind him, wearing the same confident smile he always wore whenever he found an opportunity to humiliate someone. His academy uniform was immaculate, and the silver badge on his chest marked him as a senior-ranked student.Theo said nothing.Cassian stopped directly in front of him. “I heard you have been making accusations a

Chapter: 005“Two silver crowns, Madam. That is the highest price I can offer you.”Theo stopped outside the half-open door of the small merchant’s shop when he heard his mother’s voice.“I understand that it is old, but the workmanship is excellent, and it belonged to my husband,” Mara replied. “Surely you can offer a little more.”“The metal is ordinary, the design is outdated, and I have no guarantee that anyone will want to buy it. Two silver crowns are already generous.”Theo leaned against the wall, frowning as he listened.He had returned from the academy earlier than expected because his injured hand had begun throbbing again, and he had intended to stop at the market to buy a little food before going home. He had never imagined finding his mother bargaining over something that belonged to his missing father.“I cannot accept two crowns,” Mara said after a brief silence. “The academy requires payment by the end of the week, and I still need money for food and medicine.”“The academy’s prob

Chapter: 004By late afternoon, Theo had completed his assigned drills and reported to the equipment room to collect the practice blade allocated to him for individual training.The room smelled of old wood, oil, and metal. Rows of practice weapons hung along the walls, while damaged equipment occupied several crates near the rear entrance.Theo located his assigned blade and tested its balance.Something felt wrong.The handle shifted slightly when he tightened his grip, and the weight seemed uneven, but he initially assumed the weapon had simply seen too much use.He carried it to an empty practice station and began working through the basic movements he had memorized from his manual.His first strike landed cleanly against the wooden target.The second did too.On the third, however, the blade twisted unexpectedly in his hand.Theo’s fingers slipped, and the weapon scraped across his palm before he managed to release it. The damaged blade struck the ground with a sharp crack, revealing a deep s

Chapter: 003“Hold still, Vale. Unless you have suddenly grown martial veins overnight, I doubt you can make this any more embarrassing than it already is.”Laughter erupted across the training courtyard as Theo Vale stood before three senior students, his fists raised in a defensive position that everyone knew would do him little good.The morning sun beat down on the stone grounds of Celestial Martial Academy, where hundreds of students practiced their techniques under the supervision of instructors. Some trained with wooden swords, others circulated martial energy through their bodies, and a few advanced students demonstrated techniques powerful enough to crack the stone practice pillars.Theo, unfortunately, had been assigned to a different kind of training.“Again!” Senior Student Gareth ordered.Theo barely had time to brace himself before Gareth drove a fist into his stomach. The impact forced the air from Theo’s lungs, and he staggered backward until another student caught him with a strik

Chapter: 002Theo vowed to make them regret, but for now, however, he could barely stand.By the time Theo reached home, the afternoon sun had begun to sink behind the rooftops of the lower district.His family lived in a cramped wooden house at the edge of the city, far from the magnificent estates occupied by the great martial families. The roof leaked whenever it rained, the windows rattled in strong winds, and the kitchen was barely large enough for two people, but it was the only place in the world where Theo did not feel completely worthless.He paused outside the door and wiped the remaining blood from his chin before entering.“Mother, I’m home.”Mara Vale emerged from the kitchen with a bowl in her hands, and her face brightened when she saw him.“You are early today, Theo. Did they finish the assessment sooner than expected?”He hesitated before forcing a smile.“Yes. It was nothing important.”Mara placed the bowl on the table and studied him more carefully.“Why are you holding your si

Chapter: BORN DEFECTIVEThe entire academy erupted in laughter when Theo Vale failed to produce even a spark of martial energy.“Another failure! Someone should tell him that the assessment ended three years ago, and he has been wasting everyone’s time ever since.”“Three years? He has been here for three years, and he still cannot circulate a single strand of energy. Even a farmhand would make a better martial artist!”Theo stood on the assessment platform with his fists clenched while hundreds of students watched him from the surrounding stands. Their mocking voices followed him from every direction, and although he had grown accustomed to their cruelty, each word still found a way to hurt.Before him, the assessment examiner examined the crystal embedded in the stone pedestal, then shook his head with obvious disgust.“Martial energy circulation failed. Your veins remain incapable of sustaining even the most basic technique.”He marked something on his tablet before looking up at Theo.“Next student.”The
