"Yes, I'm the shaman," the veiled woman said, her voice calm but commanding. "What is it that you need help with?" Ace didn't respond right away. Instead, he gestured toward his modest hut. "Perhaps we should discuss this inside. More… privacy." Her posture stiffened, and her tone turned sharp. "Benefactor, rid yourself of any ulterior motives. I am a Silver Major. If you try to force yourself on me, you'll regret it." Ace blinked, startled. "Whoa, whoa! What kind of image do you have of me? I just thought talking about my situation out here might be… you know, a bit inappropriate. Nothing else!" "Whatever it is," she said firmly, "say it here." Ace hesitated, looking troubled. Finally, with a sigh of resignation, he dropped to the ground and sat cross-legged on the dirt. He glanced up at her expectantly. "Won't you sit?" The woman didn't respond, her veiled face betraying no hint of emotion. When it became clear she wasn't planning to move, Ace shrugged and let it go. "Fine," he said, leaning back on his hands. "Here's the deal. I need you to exorcise a spirit. It's been haunting me for days, and—well, to be honest, I think it's giving me a split personality." Her head tilted slightly, her veil shifting as if she were raising an eyebrow. "A split personality?" "Yeah. The guy whose body I… inherited? Let's just say he's not ready to leave. He keeps popping up at the worst times, like an uninvited guest at a party. It's making things… complicated." "Complicated how?" Ace rubbed the back of his neck. "Well, for starters, I keep getting blamed for things he did. And trust me, his track record isn't great. He's kind of the reason I'm out here building walls in the middle of nowhere instead of living comfortably in town." The shaman crossed her arms, still standing. "So, you want me to exorcise this lingering spirit of yours?" "Exactly," Ace said, nodding earnestly. "Get rid of him, and I can finally have some peace of mind. Maybe even start a new life without his mess trailing behind me." She was silent for a long moment, her gaze—or what Ace assumed was her gaze—piercing through him. Finally, she spoke. "This isn't a simple matter. Exorcising a soul tied so deeply to a body is dangerous. For both of you." "Dangerous? Pfft." Ace waved her concern away. "I live dangerously. I mean, I'm already living on a mountain and talking to a shaman. How much worse can it get?" "You could die," she said bluntly. Ace froze, his confidence wavering. "Oh." "Yes," she continued. "Oh. So, are you still sure you want me to do this?" Ace hesitated, then gave her a crooked smile. "Well, if it means finally getting rid of this guy and all his bad decisions, then yeah. Let's do it. But, uh… maybe you should sit down for this. It sounds like it's gonna be a long conversation." The shaman sighed, clearly unimpressed, but after a moment, she finally lowered herself to the ground. "Fine. Explain everything in detail." Ace grinned. "Now we're talking." "Yes, I'm the shaman," the veiled woman said, her voice calm but commanding. "What is it that you need help with?" Ace didn't respond right away. Instead, he gestured toward his modest hut. "Perhaps we should discuss this inside. More… privacy." Her posture stiffened, and her tone turned sharp.

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”—
