Stand-in

“In a world ruled by monsters, the weak don’t die, they’re forgotten.” I was invisible unless they needed someone to humiliate. They broke my bones. The tyrants of Aegis killed my only friend. But that day, when my blood touched the floor, something inside me awakened. A voice. A system. A power that whispered: “Adapt. Survive. Ascend.” Now I’m not the prey anymore. I’m the beginning of something they can’t control. The government thinks they own the monsters. The hunters think they own the city. Worse, the bullies at Aegis Academy think they have all the power. Big fishes in little ponds.  They are wrong. I will rise to the top, I'll overturn the hierarchy, failures will become alphas. I’ll bring anarchy upon them because I can. Because the real monster… is learning to hunt back. Watch them learn what Apex truly means.
