SSS-RANK: Super Extraction System Novel

Leon Vale's life shattered when he was labeled F-Rank, his core deemed empty. In Neo-Veridia, where strength dictates destiny, this meant a life of menial tasks. However, a crimson moon heralded an invasion, awakening a dormant force within Leon's Empty Core: the Shadow Extraction System. Now, Leon gains strength by defeating creatures, absorbing their shadows. This power draws him to a mysterious entity in a void, a voiceless headpiece calling from the dark. But this power attracts unwanted attention. The Evernight Alliance, comprised of ancient vampires and werewolves, hunts the source of the dark energy. Leon must secretly grow stronger to protect his family, attending school while extracting shadows and feigning powerlessness. This F-Rank designation is a lie; his Empty Core is not broken but a conduit for a grim inheritance. As Leon consumes darkness, he approaches a reality he may not be ready for, a power that doesn't fit a traditional hero. The Crimson Moon's arrival signals an escalating conflict.
