Synopsis
Beasts had unlocked their System during the Ancient Era, and were once the rulers of the world. A catastrophe had caused them all to go into slumber, ushering in the Venture era where humanity started leaving their settlements to explore. As civilization progressed and tensions rose, humanity fought with themselves for the large swathes of territory. Near the end of the Conquer era, the beasts started awakening from their slumber and pushed humanity to the brink of destruction. Through efforts from humanity's top leaders, the system was unlocked for man, and thus began the era of Enlightenment. The goal of everyone in this era is to get enlightened, to seek Ascension. Now every child, every family, every influence seek to be an Ascended like the heroes of their world. Aser, an Unknown child raised in an orphanage in the Southern Seas. Like others, on his 7th birthday, the system had awakened in his mind, but he realizes he's special. As he explores the mysteries of the System, our protagonist strives to excel, to prove his worth in the world of Gigantis, to find his parents and to figure out the path to Ascension.

Hey guys, The Author here. My username is Acenovember, but y'all can call me Moon. I've been wanting to write for a while and finally had the guts to put this story out there. It's an original, and the inspiration for it is from all the books I've read on here and everywhere else. I love the fantasy genre, and Systems make me feel that stories are better fleshed out. Please let me know if you have any feedback or criticism, I would really appreciate it.

So far, I am very intrigued with where this story will go! The author does a great job getting you invested in the main character quickly and you feel you are already cheering him on! I appreciate that even in the first few chapters you can sense the depth of the world you are about to discover. Another thing to appreciate is the unique approach to the world and the use of the "System" which I find fascinating. There are a few places where further editing would be helpful, but for me, as long as the story has me hooked, I can look past that and still really enjoy it. Keep it up, can't wait to read more!
Chapter 1: Prologue
Winter. Year 3567 AE. Midnight. Shelfield Coast City. Tully Orphanage.
The skies seemed brighter than usual. It was as if the night was blessed by the moon and stars , shining down onto the dingy orphanage. If someone stood on top of the nearby lighthouse and looked towards the city, they would see a stream of brilliant sparkles descending and enveloping the streets. Unfortunately, no one was around, and no one had noticed any other peculiarity tonight.
In a small room, the stream of starlight sank into the forehead of a young child, enveloping his body in its shine, as if it was caressing its own child. As the night grew deeper, the starlight grew more pointed and focused, covering the child's body with its glow. After a few hours, the starlight slowly faded and left a five pointed star on the child's forehead glowing brightly. As dawn grew closer, the mark faded as well, unknown to all of its purpose or goal.
