I reincarnated as a rank F

Daewon was crossing the street, distracted, with his headphones on full volume, the sun shining on his face.

That's when he saw it.

A truck.

Coming towards him. Fast. Loud. That deep engine sound that every manhwa fan knows very well.

His eyes widened.

— No... it can't be...

— It's the truck... It's TRUCK-KUN?!

A flood of thoughts appeared in his mind:

"Every manhwa protagonist dies like this, right?"

"Run over. And then, poof! Reincarnation in a magical world."

He jumped to the side, dodging at the last split second.

The truck narrowly missed him

— HA! I dodged it! Reincarnation canceled, universe! – he smiled.

But then...

HORN!

CRASH!!!

Daewon didn't even have time to turn around.

Another truck came from behind and hit him.

Everything was silent.

Even the sound of his own heart seemed to have disappeared.

It was then that Daewon opened his eyes.

His body ached, as if he had been crushed—which, honestly, made sense.

But something was wrong.

The ceiling... wasn't concrete. It was polished stone. The sound of the machines was different.

And the IV next to the bed... glowed with a blue light.

"This... this isn't a normal hospital..."

He tried to get up, but his arm still hurt. He looked around; the room was rustic, but modern—a medieval style mixed with magical technology.

Runes floated on the wall.

A nurse came in soon after, wearing an outfit that looked like something out of an RPG.

"You're awake!" she said, surprised. "Your body was in critical condition. We found you in the forests of the North. An attack by magical beasts, perhaps?"

"Forests? Beasts...?"

Before he could ask, a sharp pain took over his head.

As if something inside him was being unlocked.

Memories.

Scenes, voices, feelings—of someone who was also named Daewon, but who wasn’t him.

A Rank F boy, humiliated, weak, abandoned by the clan… but who wished with all his heart to become stronger.

The confusion was interrupted by a golden glow in the air.

[SS RANK SYSTEM ACTIVATED]

[IDENTIFIED USER: DAEWON]

[SOUL SYNCHRONIZATION COMPLETE]

[START REWARDS AVAILABLE]

In front of him, a translucent panel appeared, like a game screen floating in the air.

[Daily Quest: Walk 100 Meters]

Reward: +1 Attribute Point / 10 System Coins

[Special Quest: Eliminate a Low-Rank Creature]

Reward: EXP + Random Item Box

Daewon’s eyes widened.

— So it’s real… I reincarnated… with a SYSTEM?!

He took a deep breath. The world might be new, but the feeling was clear:

From that moment on, he was no longer the same Daewon.

— They gave me an F Rank…

— But I have an SS Rank System… and no one will stop me.

The golden letters of the system were still floating before Daewon's eyes, shining softly in the air. He blinked a few times, trying to figure out if it was real... or a side effect of being run over by two trucks.

"Is this... really a system? Like in the manhwas...?"

His body still felt heavy, but now, with adrenaline and curiosity burning inside him, he gathered his strength and swung his legs out of bed.

A chill ran down his spine as his feet touched the cold floor.

When he tried to get up, he staggered, but managed to stay on his feet.

DING!

The system glowed again.

[Daily Mission Started: Walk 100 Meters]

He let out a low laugh.

"Seriously? Even walking is a mission now? This is like a game tutorial..."

He took the first step.

And then another. His muscles ached as if they had been crushed by tons—which made perfect sense—but he kept walking, exploring the room. There was a small window. When he looked through it, the sight took his breath away. A medieval city, with stone towers and markets full of life. People wearing armor, cloaks, magic staffs… And in the sky, creatures flying. Some small. Others… huge. “This place… it’s not just fantasy. It’s dangerous.” He knew that this body, this new Daewon, was considered weak. F-rank. Useless in the eyes of this world’s society. But now, he had something that no one else had. An SS-rank system. “They underestimated me for being born weak…” “But now it’s too late.” He clenched his hand into a fist, staring at the window as if looking at his own destiny. “This world isn’t ready for me.”
