Bound

Your ranking determines everything. You have no choice. You must follow the path chosen for you.

Aurelia and Bellona live in a world where everything is decided for them. Ever since they were given The System, they have been following a guide- a guide that would lead them to a purpose, picked just for them. On their sixteenth birthday, the two girls are given The Ranking, instructions on who they have to be. But who you have to be is not the same as who you want to be. The System and Ranking only exist to make the leaders of Alremmia have control over their citizens. To them, freedom is a weakness.

But it can also be a strength. A deadly one.

For one single moment, the leaders' control over the citizens was vulnerable.
The moment Bellona received her ranking.

She is now free, while those around her are puppets, unable to act for themselves.
