POWER STRUCTURE

The history of Earth was forever altered when the veil between worlds thinned, allowing mana—a mysterious, otherworldly energy—to seep into the planet. This mana brought with it monstrous beasts, creatures of immense power that wreaked havoc on an unsuspecting world. Humanity, caught off guard, faced a threat unlike any they had ever known.At first, the beasts overwhelmed Earth's defenses. Entire cities were razed, millions perished, and humanity seemed destined for extinction. But as the mana continued to permeate the Earth, it began to affect humans, changing their molecular structure. Some people developed extraordinary abilities, later known as talents. These talents varied widely: from manipulating elements to incredible physical strength, and even psychic powers.The first individuals to receive these talents were a diverse group from all walks of life. They stood bravely against the beasts, harnessing their newfound powers to defend humanity. The battle was fierce and unforgiving. Among these warriors, three individuals rose to prominence: Alexander Steele, Maria Frost, and Hector Graves.Alexander Steele, a former soldier, developed the ability to manipulate and create metal. His talent allowed him to forge weapons and armor instantaneously, making him a formidable force on the battlefield. Maria Frost, a scientist, discovered she could control ice and temperature. She used her powers to freeze the monstrous beasts and protect the vulnerable. Hector Graves, a firefighter, gained control over fire and heat, turning the beasts' own destructive element against them.These three, along with many others, formed the front line in the war against the beasts. The war raged on for years, a brutal conflict that saw countless lives lost. Among the notable figures who fought bravely but perished were:Eleanor Blackwood: A telepath who coordinated strategies and communications across battlefields.Darius Stone: A man with superhuman strength who often held back entire waves of beasts single-handedly.Isabella Luna: An air manipulator who could control the winds and weather to aid in battle.Reed Walker: A healer whose powers saved many but ultimately couldn't save himself.Despite the heavy casualties, humanity's resolve never wavered. The turning point in the war came when Steele, Frost, and Graves led a daring assault on the largest concentration of beasts. Using their combined talents, they managed to defeat the alpha beast, a colossal creature that controlled the others. With its death, the remaining beasts were easier to subdue.The war ended, but the cost was immense. Out of the original warriors, only Steele, Frost, and Graves survived. They were hailed as heroes, the saviors of humanity. Their families, inheriting their talents and responsibilities, rose to prominence. These families became the top three powers controlling Earth, their influence vast and unchallenged.The Steele Family, with their mastery over metal, became the backbone of Earth's new military-industrial complex. They provided advanced weaponry and defenses, ensuring humanity was never caught off guard again.The Frost Family, with their control over ice, took charge of environmental restoration and protection. They worked tirelessly to heal the planet from the scars of war and maintain the delicate balance of nature.The Graves Family, with their dominion over fire, harnessed energy and industry. They pioneered advancements in energy production and infrastructure, fueling the rebirth of civilization.Together, these three families formed the Power Structure, an alliance that governed the new world order. Their leadership was undisputed, their legacies cemented in history. They built a society where talents were recognized and cultivated, ensuring that humanity would always be ready to face any future threats.

But what they didn't realize that building a society where talent was heavily regarded make those without talents become insignificant like ants. This is what made those without talents become prone to bullying and misfortune

This was why Alex was always discriminated against by his family as he never awakened his
