Kaisers—the highest-ranking Awakened—are forced to bestow their powerful classes upon the lowest-ranking Awakeners.

This is the Great System's protocol. A mechanic implemented for the sake of the humans summoned to its planet, designed to kickstart their entry into The Natural Selection: a battle royale fought by those teleported from Earth, hosted in the simulated replica city of Seoul, South Korea.

Gray Kim is one of the unlucky thousands ripped from his home and thrust into the magical world of Arcana. He is granted the MistVeil class—a power that should have given him the ability to manipulate clouds.

To survive, Gray must master his new class, outlast these survival games, and navigate through the politics of the Kaiser Guilds.

But there is one other glaring problem he must face: the Kaiser who was forced to give him his MistVeil class—a man determined to end his life.

Blurb:

S-Rank Hunters are forced to bestow their class upon F-Rank Hunters.

This is the protocol The Great System has implemented for the humans it summons to its planet. A mechanic designed to kickstart their entry into The Natural Selection: a battle royale fought by those kidnapped from Earth, hosted in the simulated city of Seoul, South Korea.

Gray Kim is one of the unlucky thousands ripped from his home and thrust into the magical world of Arcana. He is granted a class that allows him to manipulate clouds, only to quickly discover just how useless the ability is for him.

He will have to master a power he doesn’t comprehend, survive these death games, and navigate the cutthroat politics of the S-Rank Guilds. But this barely scratches the surface of the struggles that await him. The true threat he will have to face is the S-Rank Hunter from whom he inherited his class—a man determined to end his life.

Authors Notes:

The blurb might come across as a little gimmicky, but I created the hook on purpose to get the initial eyeballs onto the story. The premise of everyone having a mentor has made for a very interesting world, as well as politics. (Only humans from Earth are given the powers of an S-Rank, creating conflict against the natives of the new planet). Utilizing hunters, letter grade rankings, and guilds might make this seem like another Solo Leveling clone. But I'm writing this with the full intention of being something far greater than that. The first chapter will determine if this genre is for you, and it'll give a good scope for the world that I've set up.

Authors Notes:

If you’re looking to dive deep into the world of Manhwa Hunters, this one’s for you. I’ve focused on character personalities, conflict, growth, interactions, and motivations rather than the extensive dungeon exploring or drawn-out mob grinding scenes.
