At age 10, every child unlocks their first ability, starting as an F Rank—a small spark of power in a vast, competitive world. Mastery is the key to evolution, granting new abilities and enhancing old ones as they rise through the ranks: E, D, C, B, A, and finally S. By the 7th Order, the strongest possess seven devastating S Rank abilities, their power shaping nations and destinies. Abilities—whether Body, Elemental, Mind, or the rare and coveted Soul—often complement one another, but fate sometimes deals a chaotic hand, forcing creativity and resilience. As mastery grows harder with each step, only the ambitious and determined climb the ranks, while others fall behind, their potential unfulfilled. In this world of constant evolution, where power defines your worth, alliances, betrayals, and rivalries spark. What happens when someone defies the rules, unlocking abilities no one has ever seen? The path to greatness is perilous—but the rewards are limitless.

When I signed up for a graveyard cleaning job, I thought it would be a quirky summer gig—just me, a shovel, and a few tombstones. The ominous warning sign at the entrance? Just meant to keep the living out. That creepy amulet? Probably some local superstition. Little did I know, it was actually meant to keep whatever lurked in that graveyard inside. But after I accidentally shattered the amulet on my way in, I came face-to-face with a presence that shouldn’t be sitting atop his grave, especially not after 200 years. Instead of cleaning up after the dead, I’m stuck with a charming but dangerously sarcastic companion who despises humanity and refuses to leave me alone. Now, I’m navigating a chilling situation where the shadows whisper secrets, and my new “friend” carries a dark past that’s as enticing as it is terrifying. Just when I thought I could finally make some money and pay off my student loans, I’m plunged into a haunting mix of attraction and fear, with prophecies suggesting our union could spell doom for both the living and the dead. And to top it all off? I broke the only thing keeping him trapped inside the graveyard. Great. Welcome to my nightmare.

The small town of HeathCroft was well-known for its family of mysterious billionaires, the Zuris. Lauriel and James Zuri, the parents, were well-liked philanthropists who would visit an orphanage every few years and adopt a child to welcome into their family. All the children previously adopted by the Zuri's had something special about them-some talent or potential that made them deserving of a new home. The people of HeathCroft believed that the Zuris were doing a noble act by giving these children a chance to exercise their potential and let them be. However, when the newest arrival, Adrianne Zuri, joined the family, it raised a couple eyebrows. Adrianne Zuri went against all the invisible requirements the townspeople believed you needed to complete to become a Zuri. She was illiterate, didn't seem to have any creativity in her blood, and was overall as ordinary as one could be in a family of extraordinary individuals. What the HeathCroftian townspeople didn't know was that Adrianne was by far the most peculiar member of the entire Zuri family. ---- credits to @NoelleAnn397 for the cover
