SSS Cultivation: I Can Conquer Earth's Rank System

Earth was shattered. After a devastating alien invasion by the Xollante, the world split in two—North ruled by the vicious mutants, South struggling to survive. Humanity’s only hope lay in a distant planet called Luxus E-75, where exposure to its strange energy awakened superhuman abilities known as Quirks. Leo Rayden was just a boy when he ignored a warning that could’ve saved the world. Now, 78 years later, he wakes from a coma on Luxus E-75, unchanged, unaged, and carrying a guilt that runs deeper than the Earth’s fractured core. The worst part? He has a Quirk… but doesn’t know how to unlock it. The same quirk which saved him 78 years ago. To atone for the past and prepare for the war to come, Leo must enter Earth’s ruthless Quirk Academy, where only the strong survive and the weak are cast aside. Armed with nothing but raw willpower, cryptic flashes of power, and help from his older mysterious telepathic friend Loca from Luxus, Leo sets out to climb the deadly Rank System—a path littered with betrayal, brutal training, and battles against both humans and aliens. But buried within him is a power not seen since the Great Evolution. And if he can unlock it… He might just conquer the system. Or die trying. "He slept through the apocalypse. Now he has to save what’s left of the world." A gritty sci-fi/fantasy epic of survival, guilt, growth, and revenge—with ancient weapons clashing against high-tech war machines, mutant powers, and the rise of an unlikely hero.
