•Chapter One: Ration's Day•

In the nation of Escana, everything you are relates to your rank. Your job, your house, your food... everything. There's only one way to move up a rank; through the tests.

Matthew Sohinki is a yellow, the second lowest sub-rank in the lowest rank, the colors. As a factory worker, his job is hard, and dangerous. He's never even seen the sun.

When he turns eighteen and takes his Tests, he's far from confident. His brother barely passed, and he expects to follow the same path.

But when he learns his score at the Announcement, he's shocked. Because Matthew didn't just pass...

He became an Elite.
