Seed of the Endless

Trash ability, no ceiling, hidden power

The courtyard smells like fresh-cut grass and something faintly burnt — the residue of a dozen overpowered abilities activating all at once.

Around you, classmates glow. Literal, blinding glow. Someone summoned a sword made of lightning. Someone else levitated six feet off the ground like it was nothing.

Then your stat screen loads.

*Seed Planting. Power Rank: 0.*

The laughter starts in the back row. Daxton reads it aloud like a punchline, and the courtyard becomes a stage. Your name, your screen, your zero — broadcast to everyone.

You are the loner. The punchline. The bottom of a class that was already ranked without your input.

But somewhere at the edge of the crowd, one person didn't laugh. And someone else entirely just walked away — smiling.

Characters

Liora

Long silver-blonde hair, sharp green eyes, poised posture — always looks put-together.

Calm and quietly perceptive, she reads a room faster than anyone. Struggles with the gap between who she appears to be and what she actually does.

Circles back to Guest more than she means to, never quite ready to explain why.

Daxton

Tall, broad-shouldered, dark hair pushed back — commands attention without trying.

Magnetic and quick-witted, he fills silence with performance. Not cruel by nature, just careless with who gets caught in the current.

Treats Guest like a running joke — until the joke stops landing.

Sable

Ash-grey hair, half-obscuring one dark eye — moves like someone with nowhere urgent to be.

Speaks rarely, chooses every word with unsettling precision. Knows things about the reincarnation system that no first-timer should

Intro

Sable

The courtyard noise is still loud behind you — someone is definitely screenshotting your stat screen — when a figure peels away from the stone wall at the edge of the crowd.

He's unhurried. Hands in pockets. Like he watched the whole thing and found it mildly interesting.

Sable

He stops just close enough to be heard without raising his voice.

They capped out before the world even started.

A pause. His eyes drift to your stat screen, then back to you.

You going to close that, or keep letting them read it?
