C-Rank In The Spirit: Where It All Began

I am Elric Thorns. I used to be calm, quiet, and focused—but that was before I got pulled into the wrong crowd. My friends dragged me into a life full of sin: sneaking phones into class, skipping lessons, partying wild with girls, and watching things I shouldn’t. I became part of it–lost in the fun, blind to the damage. But one night, something strange happened. While scrolling through dark sites, I accidentally downloaded a Bible app. I ignored it at first… but deep down, I felt something shift. Now, a question burns inside me-can I rise from a C-Rank nobody in the spirit to an SSS-Rank warrior for God? Only time will tell.

Before the whispers of destiny and points for righteousness ever touched his name, Elric Thorn was just another teenage boy chasing the wrong kind of thrill.
He wasn't born reckless. In fact, as a child, he was quiet-bright even. But somewhere between pain, peer pressure, and wanting to feel like he belonged, Elric drifted. The world around him rewarded boldness, rebellion, and being untouchable. So, he adapted. He became what the world clapped for.
Tall, lean, with eyes that carried both sharpness and sadness, Elric knew how to charm teachers, lie through his teeth, and break every school rule without leaving a trace. He was smart-but he didn’t use that for grades. He used it to survive, to blend in, and sometimes… to stand out in the worst ways.
And he wasn’t alone.
He ran with the wrong crowd, and he knew it.
There was Verde, always cooking up some prank. Josiah, smooth as silk but twice as dangerous. Aurelious, the loud one who craved chaos. Bertinus, the class clown who couldn’t stop pushing boundaries. Derrick, who believed fighting was an actual subject. And Delvin, the master of disappearing during class hours like a ghost with a timetable.
Together, they were a storm.
And Elric?
He wasn’t just part of the group.
Sometimes, he was the storm itself.
They cheated on exams, threw rubber bands at teachers when backs were turned, and smuggled phones into class like it was a game. They hated order. Hated silence. And they lived for the rush of getting away with things.
But outside the classroom was where things got darker.
They were regulars at secret house parties, known for mixing with the baddest gyals on campus-Rosemund, Amber, Freyja, Lyra, and Mabel.
Those girls were bold, wild, and unapologetic. With them, there were no rules. Just music that shook walls, drinks that burned the throat, and decisions made in the heat of the moment.
It wasn’t uncommon to see Elric laughing at a dirty joke, sharing links to adult sites, or nodding along to wild party dares. What once would’ve made him feel shame, he now found funny… even normal.
There was one night he would never forget.
It was late. He thought he was alone in his room, lost in yet another evening of adult videos. His door wasn’t locked like he thought. Mabel walked in.
Caught red-handed, Elric froze.
But Mabel?
She didn’t judge him.
She walked closer.
She helped.
That was the life he lived. One where guilt was drowned in pleasure. One where the word "sin" was just a joke religious people used.
Until one night changed it all.
It was a quiet Friday. Elric was scrolling, same as always, hopping through adult content on his phone. But then he tapped something wrong.
A weird link redirected him straight to the App Store.
Before he could even exit, a Bible app began to download. His finger had pressed it so fast, it was almost like his hand moved on its own.
He scoffed, rolled his eyes, and clicked back to the browser.
What he didn’t realize was…
The app finished installing.
And it never asked for permission.
He thought it was nothing.
He didn’t know the game of life had just begun.
He didn’t know heaven had just activated his score counter.
And he definitely didn’t know…
That from that night forward…
Every decision he made would count.
And avoiding sin?
Would be the only way to level up.
