Life Decided On Rankings

Two hundred years ago was the beginning of a new change. A mysterious force had appeared, and a ranking system was placed on everyone.

Because of this mysterious force, society began to change. Peoples values started to change, and the structure of the social ladder also changed.

At the age of eighteen, one would receive their rank. When ranked, one would look at the users number. The lower the number, the better it is.

The current world population is twenty billion people. Meaning that out of those twenty billion, your ranked number will be ranked out of those twenty billion. The lower the ranking, the better it is.

What makes these rankings so important is the prize that they give. Every month prizes from money to power to influence will be given according to ones ranking.

These prizes could help increase ones ranking and help one get a better prize. There were many rankings. Such as power ranking and charm ranking, and the most important ranking is the overall ranking. There are more, but the list would go on forever.

Sometimes when you receive your rank, there are times when you would receive a magical power that will improve your ranking by a large margin.

Some say people already have these abilities but don know they have them. But theories like these were impossible to figure out.

My dad was addicted to gambling and had it rough because of his low rank. But just because of that doesn mean he has to ruin my whole life.

Then we had my mom, who was going around with multiple men. I was lucky that she was neglecting me. My life was already a living hell. I don want her to add problems for me.

Because of them, my reputation as their child had already determined how people perceived me.

Both of my parents were born from the very bottom, not to mention my luck was also shit. I can even get a day without any problems out of my way.

It was like everyone was coming after me. Multiple times, I was framed for an act I hadn done. Then there were times when accidents relating to injuries happened. And there was a case where the place I lived was destroyed.

I was surprised by the fact that I hadn died yet. I hate this world. Even if I wanted to live a life where I would be safe from everything, this world wouldn allow me to.

In three minutes, I would receive my rank and a system. One would receive their rank right when they hit the age of eighteen.

There was no fancy method to gain one right. When you turn eighteen, a ranking will be shown on your face.
