My Phoenix System: Rise Of Joey Grey
"By the great flames I shall rise from the ashes." Joey never believed he could change his life. He never imaged one day he could rewrite his destiny. But here it is, the solution to all his pain and struggles. The tool that would help him live the life he deserved. Or so he thought. [ Congratulations, Host. You have unlocked the Phoenix Genes System ] Filled with greed and a never ending thirst for power, human economy broke into chaos. War broke out. War between the humans and the werewolves, and the werewolves were winning. Extensive research was done to create a race of perfect humans to help in the war. After years of trial and error, they finally succeeded. They labelled the perfect humans as Improved, creature far superior to regular humans in everyway, possessing special abilities. The results were far better than expected. The Improved were able to turn the tides of the war in the snap of a finger. But in a second finger snap, the tides changed once again. The werewolves had an ace up their sleeves, leading to the two sides signing a peace treaty. Neither side interfered with the other's affairs for a long time. Joey Grey, a sixteen year old boy, born with a low Improved Power Level, has been bullied all his life. Going to military school, he wished his life would change for the better, at least better than how it was before. What Joey didn't realize was...his wish came true. With the power to alter his destiny, Joey lives and grows his powers, to one day get back at everyone that treated him like shit. With the help of his friends and allies, that dream slowly turns into a reality. Hey author here. This is my first book. Please give it a try.

Prologue
It was December 31, 2021, a day that Joey would never forget.
Lying lazily on his bed, his gaze would constantly drift towards the window, falling on the bright lights and Christmas trees.
Joey never liked the holidays. It just reminded him of the day he dreaded the most, his birthday. Today Joey was supposed to turn sixteen, following his entrance to military school.
But Joey didn't care about that. No. He had more important things in mind.
"What's the matter, Joe, scared of the dark?" A taunting voice said, landing a painful punch in Joey's gut, causing him to puke out blood.
"I told you, Greg. I don't have any money!" Joey struggled to say through his broken jaw.
"Wrong answer!" A fatal blow was delivered to Joey's face, and hr blacked out.
Joey jolted out of his daze. It had been weeks since the incident had happened, but the memory still terrorized him day and night. Like an unforgettable sin.
Joey has always been bullied for being weak, despite being an Improved. It was sad. Someone who was naturally stronger than regular humans being beaten like that.
Joey never knew the reason why he was born this way. Perhaps it had something to do with his DNA. Maybe. All Joey could do all his life was try his best to fight back, despite knowing the outcome every time.
He had considered suicide many times, but never went through with it. He felt like it was a waste of his life. Despite his life already being a waste, he still felt like he could do something about it. Some how.
Looking out the window, Joey saw a shooting star flying by. He always thought doing this was quite cheesy. But with the way his life was, he didn't think so any more.
Closing eyes, he muttered his wish.
"I wish to change my destiny."
