The Apex Scavenger

The Apex Scavenger

309 Views · Ongoing · Eloho Gideon
The day the sky cracked open, everyone got something worth having.

Warriors. Mages. Healers. Assassins.

I got Scavenger. Rank F. The class nobody wanted and everybody laughed at.

They pointed. They walked away. They left me standing in a burning parking lot with a trash class and nothing else.

Fine. Let them go.

While every warrior in the city was charging forward with their shiny new abilities, I stayed behind and read what the System was actually saying. Because hidden inside every broken wall, every abandoned vehicle, every piece of wreckage this dying world left behind were things the System tagged and nobody else could see.

I could see all of it.

My name is Jace Ryder. I used to move boxes in a warehouse for minimum wage. I was nobody. I was invisible.

But inside the System, they know me by a different name.

Wraith.

The unknown player dismantling monster waves that wiped out entire squads. The one building safe zones out of scrap and silence. The one the strongest factions are now hunting because something that started as a joke has become the most dangerous thing alive.

They still don't know it's me.

And I'd like to keep it that way.

At least until I'm ready.
