Unranked: The Hidden Power of Instructions
In the year 2050, the world is no longer ruled by politics or wealth—but by Skills.
With the opening of the Heaven and Hell Gates, Earth became a battlefield between angels, guardians, demons, and devils. To protect humanity, 80% of the population awakened supernatural abilities known as Skills, and elite defenders called Heroes rose to stand against the darkness. Heroes are ranked, respected, and trained at prestigious Hero Academies—each dreaming of becoming the next Legendary Hero, a title reserved for one who possesses six divine Great Skills.
But not Ren Arasaka.
Born with a single, seemingly useless skill called Instructions, Ren is mocked and cast aside by society and even his peers at the Hero Academy. His life takes a devastating turn when his parents are killed in what appears to be a car accident—but was in truth a cover for a battle with high-ranking devils. Left alone with a sister in critical condition, Ren is consumed by grief and hopelessness.
That’s when everything changes.
In the depths of sorrow, Instructions awakens—and with it, two hidden powers: Successor, the ability to inherit the skills of others, and Bloodline, a mysterious gift tied to his family's buried legacy. Unbeknownst to the world, Ren is not just a powerless student—he is the son of a hero trained by the Legendary Hero himself, and the descendant of a forgotten queen of Hell reborn into light.
Now armed with a growing arsenal of abilities, hidden potential, and a will forged in pain, Ren must rise from the lowest U-rank to challenge the very foundation of power. As rivalries grow, bonds are tested, and enemies gather in the shadows—Ren’s journey is just beginning.
Because legends aren't born… they're awakened.
