Early morning in a small single bedroom apartment stands Ace in front of his fridge. Now at one glance one would think he was an average 21 year old with blonde tips on top of his coily hair. Followed by his average lean build and height barely hitting 5'10, and light tan skin. Ace then opens the fridge and grabs a red sports drink before closing it back.
After twisting open the top and taking a sip one could see the boredom upon his face, though that wasn't the only thing peculiar about this young man. Upon closer inspection one can see a small tattoo of a black flame with miniature specks of gold atop the flame under his right eye. If one just glanced at Ace's flame tattoo you'd be inclined to think it was regular ink but, if you stared at it long enough you'd see it gently pulse as if the flame was alive.
Ace rubs the flaming tattoo which his *Status* told him upon receiving it the morning of his 21st birthday, that it was called Neutral Flame. An Awakening happening on a Neo Humans 21st wasn't rare, it was actually common and only occurred on that day for a individual. mutters "Status Screen". Upon issuing the command a red screen with blame letters magically popped up with a soft ding.

Ace sighs quietly as he inspects his general info, not because of his low stats but because of Neutral Flame's info that popped up. Generally most Neo Humans started out with low stats when born on Planet Nova.

Just glancing at the Rank one could tell it was low but not quite low as a Rank F. Many people generate different skills based on their Bond and Element, but unbeknownst to many Ace has yet to generate a Bond or element. Though this all changed when receiving Neutral flame. There were many flame wielders on Planet Nova but none like Ace as he had discovered. Ace generally didn't know what the [Bonus] meant under his skill description but just knew it gave his flame 2 different attributes just unsure which ones. Though Ace didn't mind he wasn't the type to stop someone for paying for his meals. Ace then thought to himself "Free is free. Whether it's good or bad, I can worry about that later." It's just the tattoo he wasn't a big fan of.
After glancing at his general info, Ace then decided that it was time to head out to the Den and register his name as a Wielder. Before the Origin Portal and Planet Nova, 200 years ago humans were just ordinary people with regular lives back on Earth. Then on November 14, 2000 out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean the Origin Portal appeared. From that point on all humanity took a pause, filled with uncertainty and curiosity about what will happen next. Though to every ones surprise not a thing happened as if the portal was useless until one day, all the world government decided to send one explorer each through the portal.
After equipping the explorers with the latest defensive and offensive weaponry along with surveillance equipment they sent them all on a bait through the portal. Upon entering the explorers, along with Earth, were in disbelief. It was a planet that looked just like Earth with cities, though the planet was much bigger just an exact replica of the Earth. This wasn't the only difference as a horned white rabbit ran across the group of explorers sending them all into a fright. While they were spooked it just had everyone on earth questioning in masses what it could be. Though before they could get a chance to shout and exclaim, a giant gray wolf with metal talons snatched up the rabbit before glaring at the explorers.
The appearance of the gray wolf did more than have the explorers soil their pants, it helped them unlock their *System* and become the first Wielders on Planet Nova. After they got their *System* a surge of information they began wielding elemental powers, along with skills to defeat the gray wolf. After a minute or so of fighting they slayed they slayed the gray wolf, though it exhausted them as they hadn't gotten used to their new strength. After resting and changing clothes they traveled towards a city for a few miles and discovered it was called Genesis.
This was a turning point for all humans and Neo humans. As people of all ages, status and race began flooding boats to enter the Origin portal and establish their system. Though some were disappointed that upon entering you had to be 21 to Awaken and become a Wielder. These un-Awakened individuals could still call their *System* and pop up but all the info would be locked. Ace, was overjoyed at the thought of registering at the Den and took a shower before getting dressed. He then put on his casual wear of gray joggers, a red hoodie, and black sneakers before heading out.
Ace locked the door to his house and walked off to catch the Y train and head off to The Den. After walking down the street for a few blocks, Ace was almost at the station when he heard a scream followed by a deep voice saying "Some people just don't learn". After looking over he saw a tall muscularly built young man who looked to be in his 20's surrounded by a group of people in uniforms that looked like blank pieces of paper and one of them on the ground bleeding from his nose. Ace had seen this scene one too many times when the Wordless Church attempts to recruit new members some of them just don't understand the word No and end up just like the young man on the floor.
Most people would walk away and mind their business after such a scene because they didn't want any trouble with the Blank Church, but not Ace he loved watching drama. Due to his love for drama he can't help but watch after the young man who through the punch walks away unscathed and leaves the group all laying on the floor bleeding and in pain. Aces laughs out loud saying "Nice…Nice", after having a good chuckle he begins walking away when he hears the familiar deep voice ask "Are you heading to The Den to register?" Upon looking back Ace sees the burly young man with braces smiling towards him as he asks.
