Select Oblige

In this world, the sun shines brightest on the privileged, leaving the rest to shiver in the shadows. Capitalism has stacked the deck, ensuring that the elites monopolize wealth, education, and the luxury of living without fear. Yet, amid this rigged game, one boy dares to defy the odds. Fuwano Nagi knows this reality all too well. Born in the slums, he's destined for a life of hardship. But then, a rare opportunity lands in his hands: An invitation to Ougen Academy—a school that guarantees a place in the winner’s circle. Each year, one lucky student receives this offer, no matter their background. For a slum kid like Nagi, it’s his ticket out—a shot to rewrite his fate. But there’s a catch. This school is like a predator's den, and the students are circling, ready to tear him apart. At the top of the food chain? The student council, the elite of the elite: -Isshiki Kaname: The charismatic student council president. She's the heir to a powerful family that secretly pulls the strings in Japan. -Tateshina Eve: Aikido master and smooth operator. Cunning and resourceful, rumor has it she's a secret agent for the National Police Agency. -Yato Kukuru: Tech prodigy with a bottomless bank account. She's got brains, ambition, and the funds to make it big. With Touri, his surrogate sister from the slums, by his side, Nagi dives headfirst into this pit of vipers. Can he claw his way to the top and claim his own glory? Or will the privileged elite crush him before he even begins?
