F-Grade Anomaly and the Rise of the Catalyst
In the world of Aethelgard, torn apart by Aberration invasions from the Shattered Gate, the destiny of humankind rests upon the Sealers—individuals who awaken with supernatural Gifts at the age of 18. They are revered heroes, their power meticulously categorized into strict tiers from F to S, and even the legendary SS-Tier. Yet, for most, their awakening tier is an unyielding fate.
Eric, an ordinary high school student, eagerly awaited his Awakening, hoping to become a hero who could defend the world. However, when the moment arrived, his Gift manifested only as a faint whisper, forcing him into Tier F, the lowest caste, scorned and deemed useless. Branded as a burden and a target for ridicule, Eric was compelled to face the harsh reality of being an "F-Grade Sealer."
What no one knew was that Eric's Gift, which he named [Adaptive Catalyst], was a rare anomaly. Unlike other Sealers whose powers are static, Eric possessed the ability to elevate his Tier with every Aberration he defeated, unlocking boundless potential. His journey, fraught with humiliation, would become the foundation for an extraordinary evolution, propelling him from derision to the true battlefield. Amidst this chaos, Eric would unexpectedly begin to attract the attention of powerful and captivating Sealer goddesses, forming an unforeseen protective circle around him, and proving that true strength is not always evident from appearances.
