Three hundred years ago, the earth was invaded by Monsters, at least that's what we call them. We didn't know if they were aliens or demons but it was clear that what these monsters all wanted was the extinction of the human race and destruction of earth. These monsters have rankings amongst them: the foot soldiers, death captains, beast kings, beast lords, Monarchs and a being they call Devastation, apparently, he's a godlike figure to them. When these Monsters attacked the earth, every human was on the run, more than half of the population of humans were wiped out but through despair came hope, the earth was bathed with their out-worldly energy and from that came super humans, these super humans fought together to defeat the monsters.

It was a war that determined the fate of humanity. To better fight the monsters, they were categorized by ranks so humans with the same ranks or higher were sent to fight these monsters. The foot soldiers were ranked F to D rank, Death captains were C to B rank, Beast kings were A rank, Beast Lords were S rank, Monarchs were SS rank and Devastation was ranked to be over SSS+ Rank. Unfortunately, the higher the rank, the fewer the number for humans, for example, F rank humans are more than E rank and E rank were more than D rank and so the list goes on till SS rank. In the whole world, they were just 10 SS rank hunters, there have never been a rank higher than that for the humans but the hunters held on. During the Last fight with Devastation, almost all the A to SS ranks were wiped out. In our moment of despair came the celestial lord, no one knew who he was, he looked human, golden hair, they say he was so handsome and strong that no human can compete. He fought with Devastation and his forces alone, he overwhelmed all of them to the point devastated opened a portal and disappeared, leaving his people behind. When devastation disappeared, a fraction of his power scattered and created dungeons. His people who survived retreated into these dungeons to recuperate and grow their power and forces to take over the earth for the return of their god. It's been 300 years since then, humanity's population has grown tremendously over the years and they have fully recovered and advanced in technology and power.

I guess I should introduce myself but I doubt you'd care about my boring life. I am a citizen of Xetral, one of the countries of the 8th continent that was formed after the earth was bathed in out-worldly energy. I am just a highschool kid with two younger siblings who are in middle school and I have a mother in her mid 40s who is a civil servant and a father who is a common staff of one of the top guilds in the country, the Celestial guild. It is said to be created by the Celestial lord during his time on earth before he vanished. He was rumored to have had a family on earth before he vanished, he kept it a secret so his family can live a peaceful life on earth, so no one knew who his actual family was, no one over the past 300 yrs had shown his level of power so a high ranking family monopolized the guild the moment he was confirmed gone, even the government couldn't do anything to avoid internal conflict. Well, none of that is my business, I haven't awakened for the past 11 years now and I'm already 17. Kids usually get their powers by the time they turn 6, I'm the only one in my entire family who's not an awakened, possibly the whole world. It been 11 years since I was 6, I've learnt how to deal with it, I'm not bothered as long as I live a good life, I enrolled in the gym once, my parents ended up paying for the damages I caused, it wasn't my fault, the workout equipments were just too weak and my martial arts teacher is incompetent, he said he's got nothing more to teach me and that I've got the calling of a martial artist. For some reason, any martial arts I pick up to learn gets too easy for me even before trying, I guess that's his way of saying I'm incompetent, doesn't that mean martial art sucks? At least that's what I thought. Every fight I've gotten into always ended the opponent in the hospital, I used to think humans were more pathetic and weak than I thought but recently, I started to think that maybe I'm the odd one. My parents took me to the hospital but they couldn't confirm anything, mostly because the machines kept on having problems and the syringe couldn't pierce through my skin. I was then taken to the hunter association and they said that I haven't awakened yet, they said it could be early signs and although by case is unique, it's nothing to be bothered about, my physical attributes could at best rival that of an S rank hunter that if I awaken, I could be an S or SS rank hunter which are not more than 6 in today's era, the hunter association even started sponsoring my education and providing me with what I need at some point but 5 years ago, they suddenly stopped. These early signs have gone on for 11yrs now, frankly I'm now uninterested, my siblings are both A ranks, my father is C rank and mother is B rank while I am non-rank. My name is James Di Raizel and this is my story.
