My Destroyer system
In a desperate future, Earth stands as the last bastion of humanity. Ravaged by the enigmatic Enders – a technologically and biologically superior alien race – humanity's stellar empire lies in ruins. Driven back to their cradle world, humanity faced extinction until a miracle: the Awakening. Humans began manifesting elemental abilities – Pyrokinesis, Hydrokinesis, Cryogenesis – turning the tide in a brutal war of survival. Now, generations later, Earth and its reclaimed solar system exist under the constant shadow of the Enders, protected by a fragile shield and legions of Awakened defenders.
Kai Aris, orphaned by the war and scarred by its aftermath, dreams of joining those defenders. But at the critical Awakening Ceremony, amidst the crackle of emerging powers, Kai stands hollow. No fire ignites in his palms, no ice crystallizes at his touch. He is Null – powerless in a world where power is the only currency for survival and respect. Crushed by despair and societal rejection, Kai contemplates a bleak future on the fringes.
Then, something else awakens. Not elemental energy, but something colder, more absolute. A fractured, glitching interface sears itself onto his vision: **DESTROYER SYSTEM INITIALIZING... USER: KAI ARIS... STATUS: LOCKED (LEVEL 0).** The cryptic system offers no guidance, only a chilling promise: power beyond comprehension lies ahead, accessible only by reaching Level 1. But how? And at what cost? With no abilities to call his own and only a menacing, locked system for company, Kai must forge a path through a world that has already written him off, discovering that the power to destroy might be the only thing that can save him – or consume him entirely.
