My System Doesn't Give Power

In a world overrun by variants, monsters, cultists, and mysterious portals, 19-year-old Zac Godson has always lived a simple, happy life with his mother and sister.

But everything changes on the day of his awakening.

Instead of gaining a powerful class like others, Zac receives the worst possible one. Almost immediately, he’s abandoned by his childhood girlfriend, leaving him standing there helpless—his sister crying beside him, and his mother slowly dying.

Just when everything seems hopeless, a system activates inside him.

And alongside it… a strange recorded message left behind by his father.

“What do you mean you can’t give me power or save my mom? What are you even for?”

[I provide moral support and information.]

“Yeah? Well screw your moral support.”

Confused and angry, Zac listens to the recording.

“How did my father even know the world would end in five years?”

“And this nonsense about me saving it… seriously? Who does he think I am, some kind of chosen hero?”

[You will save the world.]

“Why would I do that?”

[Because you are the protagonist.]

Zac goes silent.

“…Are you kidding me?”
