Barrier Monarch Who Can't Cast A Barrier

In the year 2000, a massive meteorite struck on the Earth, and after that, the world was never the same again. Soon after, thousands of mysterious Gates began appearing all across the earth, releasing different types of monsters that caused devastating outbreaks. And to fight back, some humans awakened as Players, they were the ones who could access a mysterious System that granted them roles, skills, stats, and ranks from G to S. As chaos spread, the Player Association was formed, guilds rose to power, and Gate-clearing became humanity’s only way to survive. Decades later, in this structured yet dangerous world, Orin Grey awakens as a Player—but his awakening shocks everyone. He is granted the title Barrier Monarch, a role spoken of only in myths, yet he cannot cast even a basic barrier, something even low-rank Players can do. Labeled defective and useless, Orin is pushed to the edges of the Player world, unaware that his power does not follow the rules everyone else lives by—and that the System itself may have made a mistake it cannot take back.
