The Branding System

Excerpt: “An intruder has been detected.” Was it talking about me? “The Branding System rejects this specimen for branding. The Subject must be eradicated.” The automated voice spoke again. What? Panic rose within Aksel at once, he didn’t understand what was happening to him but he knew that in a few seconds he was going to be killed. But why? ****** It was the year 3022 and Earth had gone through a series of changes reaching new technological and metaphysical heights. Humans had generated into a superior level of beings where they were now classified into three categories based on their body structure and strength when they came upon the age of twenty. This could be achieved by a process called The Branding System which branded the humans under one of the three categories of Contrivos, Exters or Debilis making their body undergo a set of transformations respectively. The world has lost its sense of equality and power is all that can help you survive and live a good life but when Aksel Bruwes is rejected by the system and remains unbranded, his life turns over completely. How is he going to stay alive in this world where everyone is stronger than him and what is he going to do when he learns about the hideous truths about the System? Not to forget that the said System is after his life. ******* DISCLAIMER: This is not the usual “SYSTEM” novels that you read where a MC is provided with a SYSTEM that trains him to make him overpowered by levelling up. Here, SYSTEM means an organized scheme or method.

Chapter 56: Skin and Bones

They had finally been settled in. The parking lot where the trucks had been parked had been bustling with sounds but they barely considered of people talking among themselves. The rattling of machinery, the buzzing of drones and the rolling of drums had all been dominant in the big parking lot. The people barley dared to speak a word as they monotonously did their work.

The surroundings all around had been so unsettling to watch that for a few seconds they all were just frozen in their places sympathetic to these mindless puppets of the lowest grade. They were not only exploited but they were also treated the worst of them all.

"They look like they haven't eaten for weeks," Yve said her green eyes flitting from one worker to the other. Here inside the building they had been wearing less amounts of robes than what they had seen them wear outside and their bones were visible through their thin skin.
