I DIDN’T GET THE SYSTEM

Prologue — The Anomaly

Prologue — The Anomaly

Jun 25, 2025

Prologue — The Anomaly

They say every hero has guidance. A mentor. A prophecy. Or something else who knows.

Kaiser got… me.

Name’s Kai. Resident voice in his skull. Motivation coach. Crisis manager. And full-time babysitter of a man whose only strategy in life is:

“If it moves, punch it. If it doesn’t move, punch harder.”

Kaiser is a walking natural disaster with hair. He wasn’t born special. Didn’t get a blessing. Hell, he didn’t even get a decent childhood.

And yet… the moment he stepped into this world— magic, monsters, mana, the whole fantasy buffet— he was branded Rank 1.

Not Rank 1 as in strongest. Rank 1 as in:

“Congratulations, you are the weakest creature legally classified as alive.”

But here’s the real joke. There’s someone else out there. Someone with ambition, brilliance, and a system that basically screams:

“I am the REAL protagonist. Kneel, peasants.”

And when his path crosses Kaiser’s? Peace won’t be on the menu.

I think this prologue is really cool! It’s not very common to see one like this, at least in my opinion, and I like how it leaves just the right amount of mystery to keep readers hooked. Just so you know, I’m giving you my feedback based on what I personally like, so please don’t take it the wrong way because I’m saying all of this with good intentions. For me, it does feel a bit unusual; I probably wouldn’t structure a prologue this way myself, since it introduces things and characters kind of out of the blue, but that’s totally a personal preference.
The only thing is that it’s a bit hard to connect with the characters yet, since we don’t really know them. Maybe adding a little more could help readers feel something for them. But again, that’s just how I usually write, because I tend to go for a more ominous vibe
Also, I think it fits well with the synopsis, since it seems like the story is going to be told in first person. I never write in first person myself because I’ve always preferred an omniscient narrator, but it works here. And I find it really interesting that the narrator might actually be Kaiser’s alter, that idea caught my attention a lot

What happens when you’re summoned to another world… and get nothing?

Kaiser wasn’t chosen. He wasn’t blessed. He didn’t receive a system, a cheat skill, or divine guidance.
He was dragged into a world ruled by magic, monsters, and rankings—and abandoned to survive. The only thing that followed him was a voice.
A presence that watches, comments, and occasionally interferes—but can’t fight for him or save him.

While others rise through gifts handed to them, Kaiser grows stronger through pain, discipline, and relentless training. Every victory is earned. Every step forward costs blood. But this world has rules. And somewhere else, those rules are already being broken. As Kaiser claws his way upward, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:
the one who summoned him never intended for him to live.

This isn’t a hero’s journey.
It’s the story of someone who survives without permission.
