Ascendency: The 3 System User
“Three Systems. Three Paths. One Mystery.”
In a world that seems ordinary, three individuals unlock extraordinary powers through enigmatic Systems that promise them strength, skills, and influence.
• Isa, brash and ambitious, sees the System as a stepping stone to ultimate power. His goals are larger than life: he wants to rise above everyone, from the schoolyard to the world stage.
• Azlan, disciplined and focused, uses his System to honor his father’s legacy as a boxing champion, striving to prove himself in the ring and beyond.
• The third System user? A shadow in the distance. No one knows who they are or what they want, but their presence looms over Isa and Azlan, tying their fates together in ways they can’t yet understand.
As they grow from rivals to adults in a world increasingly shaped by their actions, Isa and Azlan’s clashing ambitions will drive them to ally, betray, and fight. Along the way, the Systems’ true purpose, and why they were chosen, will begin to unravel—threatening to shake the foundation of everything they know.
This isn’t just a story of strength and ambition. It’s about the cost of power, the allure of destiny, and the battle to define what it means to lead.
Key Features:
• A mix of Solo Leveling-style progression, intense rivalries, and long-term world-building.
• Characters who grow and change over years, evolving into leaders, heroes, or villains.
• A deep mystery: Why were they chosen? And who controls the Systems?
• Themes of ambition, loyalty, and the sacrifices demanded by power.

Chapter: Trial by Fire The slums were a stark contrast to the towering skyscrapers downtown. Broken streetlights cast uneven shadows, and the air smelled of decay and desperation. Shadow kept to the alleys, his eyes scanning every movement while Ghost stayed alert at his side.As they approached the mission location, muffled voices reached his ears. He edged closer, peering around a corner to find three men cornering a young woman against a crumbling wall.“Empty your bag,” one of the men snarled, brandishing a knife. “Now.”The woman’s hands trembled as she clutched her bag tightly, her voice barely audible. “P-please, I don’t have much…”Shadow’s jaw tightened. He’d seen this scene before—too many times. It wasn’t just a mugging; it was a power play. These men thrived on fear, and the woman

Chapter: Urban GhostShadow’s eyes darted back to the corner, where the flickering had stopped. Instead, a figure stood there, shrouded in a cloak that seemed to absorb the light around it. Their face was obscured, but their presence was suffocating, as though they were peeling back layers of reality just by existing.Shadow tightened his grip on the knife, keeping his stance defensive. “So, you’re the ‘Observer.’ What do you want?”The figure didn’t move but spoke in a voice that was both distant and intimate, like it was coming from inside Shadow’s own mind.“You’ve been interesting to watch, Shadow. A fugitive with ambition, a killer with purpose. But you’ve barely scratched the surface of what you are.”Shadow’s smirk returned, though it lacked humor. “

Chapter: The System’s Demands“Spread out! He couldn’t have gone far.”"Check every corner. That bastard's dangerous."Dangerous. Shadow liked the sound of that.As the officers moved deeper into the factory, Shadow calculated his route. Timing was everything. He waited, crouched behind a stack of rusted barrels, until the footsteps passed.Then he moved.Darting between cover, he reached a back exit just as an officer’s flashlight swept dangerously close. Shadow pressed himself against the wall, his heart pounding in his ears.“Alert: Threat Escalation Imminent. Time Remaining: 12 Hours.”Shadow exhaled slowly, steadying his nerves. When the coast was clear, he slipped through the exit, vanishing into the night like a ghost.Hours later, Shadow perched on a rooftop overlooking the city. The lights stretched endlessly before him, a sprawling maze of opportunity and danger.He chuckled softly, his breath visible in the cold night air. "Well, Mom, Dad. Looks like your boy’s still got it."But as he gazed at the city

Chapter: Fugitive in the ShadowsIsa started eating, trying to pace himself. The first burger and fries went down easily, but by the third burger, the sheer volume of food began to weigh on him.“Come on, Isa!” Joseph cheered, slapping the table. “You’re halfway there!”Stacy raised an eyebrow. “Halfway? He’s only finished two milkshakes and a few burgers.” She turned to Isa, her tone curious. “What’s with the sudden appetite? You’re not training for a sport, are you?”Isa choked on a fry. “N-no, just… uh, bulking up!”Stacy’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Bulking up? For what?”Isa shoved a handful of fries into his mouth, avoiding her gaze.Azlan, watching from a few tables away, sighed as Isa began turning green. Pulling up his own System interface, he activated a minor skill:“Nausea Reduction” activated. Cooldown: 30 minutes.Isa blinked as the queasy feeling in his stomach suddenly faded. He glanced over at Azlan, who gave him a subtle thumbs-up.Isa mumbled under his breath, “I owe you for this.”With his stomach t

Chapter: The Curse of the Hungry BeastSYSTEM ACTIVE“Mission: Secure victory in the inter-school boxing championship. Bonus reward: +5 Strength if you maintain dominance in all rounds.”Azlan smirked. “Dominance, huh? Let’s give them a show.”As the bell rang for the first match, Azlan activated his System. His body surged with enhanced strength and speed, making his movements almost too fast to track. He dodged his opponent’s punches with ease, his counterattacks precise and devastating. Within two minutes, he had landed a knockout blow, leaving the crowd in stunned silence before erupting into cheers.Isa, watching from the sidelines, muttered, “Show-off.”In the crowd, Stacy and Joseph waved their m

Chapter: System Pranks Gone Wrong“I’ve learned a lot this past week,” Stacy said, her gaze sweeping the crowd before briefly landing on Isa. “Sometimes, success isn’t just about hard work—it’s about the people who believe in you, even when you don’t believe in yourself.”The crowd cheered, but Isa felt a chill run down his spine. Did she know? He shook the thought away. It didn’t matter. Not yet.Beside him, Azlan chuckled. “You’ve got your work cut out for you, genius.”Isa groaned. “Don’t remind me.”Next day,Isa leaned back in his chair, staring at the glowing blue System interface in front of him. He’d been reviewing his latest stats after
