SS RANK PLAYER WITH A CURSED SYSTEM:I CAN ONLY USE LONG RANGE ATTACKS
In an era when mankind had been driven to its last breath, faced with the threat of extinction due to the greed they harbored in their hearts. What they called growth, improvement, was a course that led to the depletion of the Earth's resources. Toxins shrouded the air, with their deafening effect pushing man to the point of wearing masks just to survive. With already over 50% of the population lost to epidemic and pandemic, thinking things couldn’t get worse and accepting their fate of extinction, man had given up.
And then it began: a massive earthquake struck, one which traversed the world with its chaotic rumbling. What man thought was the end was just the beginning of a new era.
With the end of the deafening quakes, tears in what seemed to be space itself began forming on a planetary scale, a large number appearing on each continent.
What man could only describe as mythical creatures—goblins, orks, and even the legendary dragon—emerged from these rifts to cause more chaos to a world already faced with extinction.
“For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.” As such, the first man awakened, bearing unbelievable strength, one which rivaled the heinous beasts themselves. Not so long after, more awakened to join him in his hurdles to push the creatures back into the rifts.
Those who awakened could now withstand the Earth’s murderous environment, and as such decided to venture into the rifts, to scavenge for resources and claim whichever territory which was beyond for mankind.
Those who undertook this dangerous task, blessed by the gods with a system that provided them with caps of growth, were called Players.
Mark, a boy born into a family of researchers, awakened into the weakest class of Player: an F-rank player, also bearing a system that only allows him to only use long-range attack; get close enough and he's utterly screwed.
Being one of the few who awakens as the weakest of the weak each generation, he is left within the rift, with no way to return.
With his intellect, built up from childhood, he changes his fate, and survives, covering his weaknesses with strategies that can trap a dragon in a sniper’s target. Becoming the one who conquers the rift, but not for humanity; being man’s greatest regret.
