<div> Two hundred years ago was the beginning of a new change. A mysterious force had appeared, and a ranking system was placed on everyone.
 Because of this mysterious force, society began to change. People's values started to change, and the structure of the social ladder also changed.
 At the age of eighteen, one would receive their rank. When ranked, one would look at the user's number. The lower the number, the better it is.
 The current world population is twenty billion people. Meaning that out of those twenty billion, your ranked number will be ranked out of those twenty billion. The lower the ranking, the better it is.
 What makes these rankings so important is the prize that they give. Every month prizes from money to power to influence will be given according to one's ranking.
 These prizes could help increase one's ranking and help one get a better prize. There were many rankings. Such as power ranking and charm ranking, and the most important ranking is the overall ranking. There are more, but the list would go on forever.
 Sometimes when you receive your rank, there are times when you would receive a magical power that will improve your ranking by a large margin.
 Some say people already have these abilities but don't know they have them. But theories like these were impossible to figure out.
 Today is the day when I will receive my ranking. My life wasn't good, and today would cement what my life would be.
 Even without these ranks, my reputation around my neighbor was horrible. I was born into a family full of scum.
 My dad was addicted to gambling and had it rough because of his low rank. But just because of that doesn't mean he has to ruin my whole life.
 Then we had my mom, who was going around with multiple men. I was lucky that she was neglecting me. My life was already a living hell. I don't want her to add problems for me.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div>
 
 </div>
 </div> Because of them, my reputation as their child had already determined how people perceived me.
 Both of my parents were born from the very bottom, not to mention my luck was also shit. I can't even get a day without any problems out of my way.
 It was like everyone was coming after me. Multiple times, I was framed for an act I hadn't done. Then there were times when accidents relating to injuries happened. And there was a case where the place I lived was destroyed.
 I was surprised by the fact that I hadn't died yet. I hate this world. Even if I wanted to live a life where I would be safe from everything, this world wouldn't allow me to.
 In three minutes, I would receive my rank and a system. One would receive their rank right when they hit the age of eighteen.
 There was no fancy method to gain one right. When you turn eighteen, a ranking will be shown on your face.
 Upon receiving a rank, you would gain a reward for your rank. It was a shame that there was no privacy of your rank.
 With a shitty life like mine, I don't have many expectations of getting a good rank. It was a good thing I moved out of my parent's house.
 At the age of fifteen, I started to work part-time. While my pay was right at the minimum wage mark for a teen like me, I found a small apartment with low prices.
 The only thing I could complain about would be the noisy neighbor and snobby landlord, but it was better than being beaten by my father.
 [System Received.]
 [Ranking Received]
 [User: Charles Anderson.]
 [Age: Eighteen Confirmed.]
 [Information Received.]
 [Status Confirmed.]
 [System Activated.]
 [Ranking: 5000/20B]
 [Reward: Body Enhancement Capsule, Skill Upgrading Capsule.]
 I couldn't believe my eyes. At first, I thought I had gone crazy after rubbing my eyes. What I saw was real.
 "Hahahaha!"
 Tears flowed out of my eyes. I couldn't believe it, just like that, and I could escape this shit hole.
 Looking at the rewards, I got the items for it. There were two capsules for my reward. One was a skill upgrader and a body enhancer.
 I grabbed a bottle of water with the body enhancer capsule and swallowed the capsule. Once taking the capsule pill, my body started to ache.
 Every fiber of my body began to move. I was sweating intensely and felt some sticky substance that wasn't my sweat coming out of me.
 This lasted for four hours, and luckily I was used to pain, so something like this wouldn't kill me. With the process finished, I went to take a shower.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> I smelt like shit, even worse when thrown in a garbage dump. After I finished washing, I took a glance at the mirror.
 Was this me? My scars, injuries, and bad parts of my body had all disappeared. I wasn't ugly or handsome before since my looks were unique. But now I could say I was 10/10.
 Looking at my body was more on the muscle side and was now perfectly flawless. This isn't me being a narcissist but the truth.
 My ranking had improved once again, and both charm and body strength had improved by a large margin.
 I was already physically fit, so that I wouldn't get picked on by anyone physically. My strength had improved by ten times and along with my sense.
 This body enhancement capsule wasn't a joke, as expected of a rank in the thousandth place.
 My previous rank was at 5000. Now my current rank is 4342. Six hundred fifty-eight ranks may not be a lot to the billions, but it was something hard to do in my rank.
 Once the rankers were already high on the boards, it would be harder for them to go up. And for me to go up was a miracle.
 Looking at my system again, I saw that I had a skill. I couldn't believe what I just saw.
 [Target Of Misfortune: Rank SSS (Level: 1)]: This allows the skill to cause misfortune upon the desired user. Since no target has been chosen, it would have defaulted on you. It could only be used if the target is within 10 meters of you.
 I immediately deactivated my skill, which was targeted at me. Fuck! Because of this skill, my life has been a living hell.
 I nearly had a heart attack because of this. Why the fuck does this skill have to default on me. There were times when I wished it upon someone else.
 My mind was frazzled. Not only was my life influenced by my supposed parents. But because of these powers.
 I took deep breaths. Calm down. I kept on muttering that word in my head. After a while, I relaxed a bit.
 Let's look at the bright side. The hell hole that I live in will now be over. There was a quote, "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
 It was a good thing that my bad luck was only minimal. I shuddered to think what would happen if my power was activated at a higher power.
 Since I now have this power, I will use it to my fullest potential. I will only live this life for myself, and that's final.
 I still had a skill enhancer. My skill, which was already strong, would become even more outrageous.
 Taking the capsule, I downed it. Unlike the body enhancer, I had felt nothing happening.
 [Target Of Misfortune Upgraded]
 [Target Of Misfortune: Rank EX (Level: 1)]: This allows the skill to cause misfortune upon the desired user. It can't be removed unless the caster allows it to do so. It could only be used if the target is within 50 meters of you.
 My rank went higher with the upgrade, from 4342 to 1569. Holy shit, I never thought such an upgrade was possible.
 I had heard skill's highest rank of swas EX. They were top-grade powers that were one of . Just because I'm ranked at 1569 doesn' mean 1569 users have an EX rank ability.
 Wealth, Physique, Charm, Intellect, Skill, Combat Power, and Mana would
 added to the Overall Rankings.
 I must improve in seven of these categories. Intellect alone would be the hardest, so I will remove that.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Charm was also pretty hard. Unless I did some surgery or constantly cared for my body, my results
 be the same. I could also buy items that could improve, but I needed money.
 My skill is already high. That was the only reason I was ranked very high on the list. The only way to improve this was to get an item for me to improve it. Which also needed money.
 And as for my physique, I could only work out hard. There was a quick way of buying potions that would improve one's physique, which also needed money.
 For my combat power, I would need to learn how to fight. It was a shame I had no time to learn. Money was tight, so I couldn't learn from anywhere.
 Mana, I had no
 how to
 mana. I was never taught how to do so. I hate how much of a disadvantage that I'm at. I don't want
 like
 bitch, but I
 the worst
