Chapter 1
Ron's deep blue eyes bounced around the awakening hall. It smelled like sweat and whatever scent came from boys who had rushed here without having their baths.“Yep, today is the day I die, and this horrible scent is going to be the last thing I remember. Not cool at all.”The hoodie over his head covered most of his face. He had come to the awakening hall despite all his mother's warnings and pleas because he was tired.Since the discovery of the awakening serum, which granted powers according to a person's bloodline, a person's class had become their lifelong sentence in society.Every high school graduate in the city was here. Most were Ron's classmates, including the same people whose assignments he had completed for a few pennies so he and his poor mother could get by.Somehow, he was still the center of attention. Their eyes wouldn't stay away from him, and they murmured without even trying to make sure he didn't hear them.“He actually had the guts to show his face here.”“What

After a few seconds of silence, laughter broke throughout the hall. It came from the guild representatives, then the students, and soon almost everyone else had joined in.There was no way in cold hell that Ron could have awakened such a powerful class.“Vincent is actually messing with us,” one of the guild masters said, laughing so hard that a tear escaped from his eye.“Does he really think we will believe every word he says just because he is the reader?”“We are talking about Ron Arcade here. There is no way that result is real.”Even Ron couldn't believe his eyes. A nobody who had been treated like a disease all his life had somehow awakened the most powerful class in the entire hall.Society had taught him that the bottom was all he deserved. He had served almost every powerful family in the hall just so he and his mother could survive another day.It had all been because of his defective bloodline, yet now the machine was saying that he had awakened a class greater than anythi
Chapter 3
“You're joking, right?” Damon asked.Elijah was smiling, but the look in his eyes made it clear that he was serious. “Does it look like I am? The championship has always remained in my family. Do you think I will stand aside and watch it go to him?”Two guards seized Ron's arms while another grabbed him around the waist. Ron struggled, but his new class was useless until he learned to control it.“You cannot do this,” Damon said. “How do you even intend to take an awakened class from its owner?”“You still think I can't?”Elijah reached into his coat and pulled out a dark vial.Damon's face lost its colour. “An extraction serum. What are you doing with that?”The banned serum could force one awakened's class into another, usually killing its original owner.“Put it away,” Damon warned. “Even you cannot use it without his agreement.”“As a former champion, I can bend a few rules, and getting his agreement will not be a problem.”Elijah turned towards Ron. “You heard the Chief. Agree to

Ron's eyes opened beside Red's grave, but he was no longer alone.The Limbo Beast stood over him with its six eyes fixed on his face. It looked even larger outside the dark space, with saliva dripping between its fangs as it lowered its head and lunged.Ron threw himself aside, and its claws missed his shoulder by inches. Something roared inside him as he rolled across the frozen ground and rose to his feet.He could no longer feel the cold. His body felt as if it had been broken apart and reforged with steel. His vision was sharper, his feet were lighter, and he could hear every movement the beast made behind him, but none of that made it less dangerous. Ron stretched out his hand and asked for fire, wind, lightning, or anything else that might stop it, but nothing came out.“Oh, shit. I got one powerful class and suddenly thought I knew magic.”The Limbo Beast charged again. “Running is still a skill,” Ron told himself before turning around and using it.He broke into a run, and the

Everyone sprang from their seats as the tension between Ron and Henry filled the hall.Ron kept his eyes on Prince Edward. “I am not here to cause trouble. I only want my mother released.”“Then fight me,” Henry replied. “You were the owner of an SSS-ranked combat class for a few minutes. Surely, some of that greatness should still be inside you.”Laughter broke from the crowd, but Ron did not look at him.“As I said, I came for my mother. I have no reason to entertain him.”Elijah walked towards the Prince before Henry could answer. His voice was lowered, although he made sure enough people could still hear him.“Your Highness, if these two agree to a fair fight and Ron dies during it, neither Henry nor my family can be held responsible. It would be nothing more than the unfortunate result of an agreement between two willing men.”Ron finally looked at him. Elijah had already stolen his class, but that was not enough. He wanted Ron dead so nobody could challenge Henry's ownership of

Another uproar broke through the hall as someone shouted, “Did he just reject the only thing that might save his life?”The guard holding the rusty suit stared at Ron, his earlier disdain turning into anger.“What did you say, boy? Do you think your body can withstand the impact of an SSS-ranked attack without armour?”“I said I don't want it. That is still my choice, isn't it?”Nobody answered. Ron's face remained so cold that the guard took one step back before remembering that the person standing before him was supposed to be powerless.Henry shoved the guard aside and approached Ron. For a moment, he hesitated.This Ron felt different from the servant boy everyone had described over the years. Something dangerous seemed to be leaking from his body, and it frightened Henry for reasons he could not explain.Then he remembered who he was looking at. Ron had spent his life doing chores for every family in the city. His class had been extracted, and whatever Henry felt had to be his im
Chapter 7
Nobody in the hall could believe what they had just witnessed.Ron did not possess a magical core anymore. They had all watched his class get dragged out of his body, so how had one punch created that much force?“That is not possible,” someone finally said.Prince Edward shot up from his seat, and Elijah rushed towards the broken chairs where Henry had landed.“How did he do that?” the Prince asked.Elijah dropped beside his son and tried to lift him. Blood poured from Henry's mouth and stained the front of his expensive clothes.“There is no way Ron defeated him,” Elijah said.“We all saw it happen,” a man near the front replied.“Then you did not understand what you saw!” Elijah snapped.He helped Henry into a chair and looked around for an explanation that would not destroy everything his family had claimed about Ron.“My son has only possessed the class for a few hours. He cannot control all of its power yet, so the force of his own attack must have rebounded against him.”The wo

Elijah stared at Gorgon before suddenly bursting into laughter.The sound echoed through the hall, growing louder as he tried to recover what remained of his pride.“I understand that you are old, but you cannot walk in here and disregard everything we witnessed. The boy does not even have a magical core.”Gorgon's eyes narrowed. “Choose your next words carefully.”Elijah ignored the warning and pointed towards Henry.“My son owns an SSS-ranked combat class, while Ron has nothing inside him. How can you claim that someone without a core produced enough force to defeat my son?”The question made sense to everyone who needed it to make sense. Ron had been powerless before the ceremony, and they had watched his first class get extracted. Believing Gorgon was wrong still felt easier than believing Ron was stronger than Henry.Gorgon did not answer immediately. His grey eyes returned to Ron and remained there.Ron remembered what the old stories said about him. Gorgon was not only the city
