SSS-Rank: The Slum-Born Thunder God

After an Awakening that appears to end in disgrace, Nate Ryder is dismissed as a failure, though he knows he carries the rare SSS-rank Thunder God power. His father sacrificed his health for Awakening serum, while his mother has lived with paralysis for ten years. At school, A-rank prodigy Tyler intensifies Nate’s hardship by destroying the serum and joining corrupt administrators to keep him out of the national tournament. Nate conceals his true ability while turning each humiliation into motivation for relentless training. When the Federal Awakened Selection Tournament arrives, Tyler expects an easy victory and plans to defeat Nate before a massive audience. Instead, Nate finally reveals the force he has kept hidden, challenging the judgment that has defined him and setting out to prove who he really is.
