The world changed the moment the first child bent steel with her bare hands. Now, society is divided by power levels. The strongest — known as Elites — rule from glittering towers above the clouds, worshipped like celebrities and feared like weapons. The weak survive below in overcrowded districts where hunger, gangs, and corruption spread faster than hope itself. Every citizen is ranked at sixteen. One number decides everything. The higher your rank, the more freedom you earn. Elite students attend powerful academies, train under famous heroes, and inherit lives of luxury. Low-ranks are pushed into factory work, military service, or forgotten entirely. Powers range from controlling storms and reading minds to barely sparking a flame in your palm. you and him are teens in school, a few weeks before the powers and rankings come out.
