In the world of Astraea, nearly everyone awakens a System. A System decides your future, your value, and sometimes, whether society believes you deserve one at all. Zion Amari Vale was born into this world with memories of another life: a 32-year-old black American otaku from modern Earth whose mind was filled with games, anime, manhwa, light novels, and every kind of progression system imaginable. But when Zion finally awakens his own System, it is not legendary. It is not heroic. It is not even complete. Labeled defective by the world, Zion receives the Mythos Framework, a broken interface with no combat skills, no quests, no inventory, and no obvious path forward. To everyone else, it is proof that House Vale’s fading bloodline has finally collapsed. To Zion, it looks like something far more dangerous. An unfinished tool. A system meant not to grant power, but to understand it. As nobles sharpen their politics, academies rank children before they can grow, and the forgotten Systemless hide secrets even gods may fear, Zion begins to uncover the truth buried beneath Astraea’s countless interfaces: Systems are not just gifts. They are Frameworks. And Frameworks can be reworked.

A child was dropped off at our building later their parents jumped off a bridge leaving the child outside our door. My name is Doctor Levi and I am one of the scientists in this facility it seems like some little boy's parents just dropped him off thinking it was an orphanage...This is an Assasin Training Facility when I took a good look at the little boy he seemed to have black hair and green eyes and looked about 3 (people here range from 22 to 45 years ago) so we took him in it was extremely rare to have people this young and I gave him a room and started conducting experiments on him I injected him with three things: 40% was a fluid that makes his blood flammable, and because I accidentally put too much a single drop could destroy 3 a school, 10% of a stabilizer I made' and 50% of our newly made psychotic living organism or we gave him the name Leo. only 6 people with Leo exist due to the nature of this organism. When Leo is triggered not only does the personality change but the appearance too: the person's hair turns a snowy white color and the eyes become blood red (we thought it was cool). many things can trigger Leo and they all involve blood, for the boy whose name was revealed to be Loid if he were to see blood Leo would trigger. every Leo also has a different way and attraction of killing people depending on the host, Loid or Firebug as we'd call him is attracted to fire so we can make a guess that Leo would be a killer involved with only fire or an arsonist. we spent years training, electrocute and injecting him to make him qualified to become an assassin. finally, 11 years later he would be found by his family and taken away but he is still working for the organization we couldn't let a Leo holder get away like that.

The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end. The female lead is the only daughter in another family, doted on by her older brothers. The villain targeted her out of pure jealousy. And now, Deng Yuyuan has become that villain's cowardly mother — and the villain herself is currently just an ugly, wrinkly-faced infant.

I specially heated it for you." Deng Yuyuan looks at her own bony frame and her tiny child — and decides to get a divorce. Goodbye, useless husband.

Riding the wave of the times, Deng Yuyuan works her way up to become a gaming tycoon and a cutting-edge scientist... Except — why are so many men fighting to be her cub's stepfather?
