In a world where systems are the norm, hero schools and dungeons are available to all. Except to a unlucky few who are born without systems and potential.

It was Monday, I think, something interesting happened when I got my daily rat, I was going to devour its soul like I usually do. But at that moment the guards threw a girl in the jailcell.

She looked at me for a moment and turned away, I looked at her with emotionless eyes, she looked 8 years old, blond hair with lots of bruises. I whispered " Appraise ".

My eyes widened, I had 2 theories before I saw her status, either she was here because she was an inhuman like me or because she was the daughter of a villain.

It appears it was the second theory, and I couldn't just take her soul for power, she was Much stronger than me, and I wouldn't kill children like myself.

So, I did what I thought would arouse the least suspicion, I ignored her.

But when she got her rat, she looked at it, threw it away and refused to eat it, I just sneered at her.

She looked at me and asked "what?" I looked at her and said, "you'll die of hunger, and if you don't want it give it to me."

She just looked at me and gave me the rat, and I rejoiced slightly, if she continued not eating, she would die and I could devour her soul and my daily rats would multiply from 3 to 6 – helping my power grow twice as fast.

I was always bored so I decided to start a conversation.

"What's your name?" I asked, even though I knew

"Jessica" she answered. "Nice name" I added with a small smile.

"Why are you in a cell?" I asked. "Why are YOU in a cell?" she asked.

I said, "I asked first, answer me". She gave up and answered, "my father is a villain, You?"

"I am an inhuman, 'heroes' killed my parents" I answered with rage.

She looked at me sadly and said "I am sorry"

I composed myself and said "forget about it"
