Starting With an S-Rank Class: My Path to Godhood

Five hundred years ago, gates appeared across the world. When their countdown reached completion, monsters poured out and dragged humanity into an era of devastation. Modern weapons failed, cities fell, and nearly half of the world’s population vanished in a single month. Survival was only possible after the emergence of Awakeners—humans granted classes, ranks, and the ability to grow stronger by hunting monsters. Over centuries, humanity rebuilt itself around this power. Bases rose, academies were founded, and awakeners became the pillars of civilization. Rank now defines status, authority, and destiny. Yet even in this age of peace, the gates remain. And somewhere within this rigid system, a single awakening is about to challenge what the world believes it understands about strength.
