Ascension of The Heretic Magus

HANSUUBI
'Freezing to death in a shack wasn't how I imagined my second life would start. But hey—at least the old drunk who beat me is dead too.' Ralth was supposed to be a powerful transmigrator, destined for greatness. Instead, he ended up almost dying in his new body, starving in a frozen shack at the edge of a ruthless kingdom. No noble blood, no family, no resources—only a mysterious Cube buried deep within his soul. But fate takes a sharp turn when he’s dragged before a terrifying Magus for a test of talent. Against all odds, he scores higher than anyone expected and is sent off to a brutal magical academy—where failure means death! Here, the strong crush the weak. Noble-born knights look down on commoners, and hidden dangers lurk within the academy’s walls. But Ralth has something no one else does: The Felsan Cube, a power that can extract, refine, and steal magical abilities from anything he touches! With nothing to lose, Ralth embarks on his path as a Magus, outwitting ruthless nobles, uncovering dark secrets, and turning every setback into an opportunity. He may have started off his journey as a starving nobody… But he’ll end it as a god.

My SSS Rank System

***his life had never been worse, hopeless, miserable...and alone. until he heard the sound... That small sound, like the chiming of a bell, Ding! Yes, that's the one, the sound that changed his life.*** He had always been the weakest. Laughed at by the villagers. Scorned by the hunters. Ignored by the world. Born without magic in a land where even children could tame flames or speak to beasts, Kael was a mistake in everyone’s eyes. He couldn't lift a training sword, summon a familiar, or even sense mana. Not even a flicker. Not even a spark. Not until the day the world cracked open before him. That day, rain poured like the sky wept for him. He knelt beside his sister’s broken pendant, the last thing he had of her. Mud caked his fingers. Blood stained the ground. And then— That sound. So soft, so sudden, it cut through the storm. Ding! A chime. A bell, bright and delicate, like hope itself. > [Congratulations, Host. You have been selected by the SSS Rank System.] [Initialization begins…] His breath caught. His heart skipped. And the sky— The sky stopped crying. From that moment, Kael was no longer the weakest. He just hadn't awakened yet. ***The world of Aerthrial is steeped in mana, spirit beasts, and ancient legacies. Power is everything—measured in Ranks (F to SSS). Guilds protect the world, magic academies train the elite, and the strongest become Archons—those who command dragons, bend space, or rewrite fate. No one has ever possessed an SSS Rank System. Until now.*** **** Main Character: Name: Kael Ardyn Age: 15 (at start) Background: Orphan, magicless, often bullied. His sister died protecting him from a beast raid, and he carries her pendant. Core Trait: Empathetic and underestimated—kind but sharp, and he slowly gains tactical brilliance. Goal: Become strong enough to change the broken world that scorned the weak. System Core Mechanics: SSS Rank System: Grants Kael access to a unique tiered skill tree, beast contracts, evolution paths, and system quests. Has both active abilities (combat) and passive blessings (intuition, mana growth). As Kael emotionally evolves, the System itself evolves, gaining sentience over time. Also hides an ancient “Truth Protocol”—
