SSS-RANK: Super Extraction System Novel

Leon Vale's life is shattered when he's deemed an F-Rank with an Empty Core, a stark failure in Neo-Veridia's strength-obsessed society. While others rise as champions, he's relegated to the sidelines. However, a turning point arrives with the red moon, bringing creatures that breach the city's defenses and push Leon to his limits. Within his Empty Core, an ancient power awakens: the Shadow Extraction System. Leon gains strength by absorbing the essence of defeated creatures, each victory fueling his ascent. This power draws him toward an unknown realm, where a mysterious, voiceless entity calls to him. His growing abilities attract unwanted attention. The Evernight Alliance, comprised of vampires and werewolves, hunts him, drawn by the dark energy emanating from his power. Leon is forced into a precarious double life, appearing weak at school while secretly growing stronger through shadow extraction to protect his family. He's unknowingly poised to inherit a grim power, with his F-Rank label a deception. His Empty Core is not broken, but a vessel. As the Crimson Moon signals the beginning, Leon faces a future where not all power leads to heroism, and some inheritances are steeped in darkness.
