BOOK 1 IN THE "NOMINAL HERO" SERIES

Cataleia Nodal is recruited by a strange man from Quiztal, her mother's home country. He gives her secret information which reveals several well-hidden incursions between the island of Alcan and Quiztal---incursions that could break out into a full-scale  war. 

As Cataleia gradually becomes of age, she finds herself drafted into the conflict, partaking in a few small missions. Despite her hesitancy to fight for a country she has limited ties to, she quickly learns the basics of being a functional field agent. However, when her first mission ends in absolute failure, she undergoes a downward spiral for her failure, and for the fact that the conflict between Quiztal and Alcan may be more complex than she realizes.

Branded Rank F the lowest tier of power- he shoulders the burden of supporting his family amid poverty and societal scorn. But when he joins the Phoenix Brotherhood, an organization of adventurers tasked with protecting humanity, Satsu discovers his true strength lies not in mana, but in his unyielding resilience.

Together, they take on missions scorned by the powerful, defending the forgotten. However, when they investigate the Terror's Lair, an ancient portal that never closed, they unleash a primordial entity-and awaken something within Satsu: the Impetus System, an ancestral power poised to rewrite the world's rules. As Satsu struggles to master this new level-up system, unlocking abilities that defy his lowly rank, he faces a dire trade-off: the Impetus System consumes not just mana, but fragments of his humanity.

In a universe where magic enforces hierarchy and the strong prey on the weak, Satsu must choose: ascend as a Precursor capable of reshaping reality... or be consumed by the same darkness threatening to tear the world apart. What to Expect: - Unique Evolution System: Discover how the Impetus System defies traditional ranks, offering unpredictable powers at a moral cost. - Epic Battles: From goblin hordes in forgotten villages to cosmic horrors that test sanity. - social inequality - Inner Struggles: How far would you go to protect those you love?

Head of Trauma at the hospital, she is in love with a member of the Elite, Jonathon, the secret leader of the Resistance but also the favourite candidate to become the next President.
