Ashton faces public disgrace when Mr. Russell revokes his honors graduate status, awards, and scholarships despite his past achievements. Ms. Campbell urges the administration to give Ashton a chance in the upcoming Trial Tower challenge, but Mr. Russell dismisses him as too weak, ranking him a mere Rank D unlikely to pass even the first floor. Ashton is teleported to the Trial Tower, where he confronts the harsh reality of the trial’s five floors and his fragile survival. Upon arrival, he discovers a mysterious skill called Fragmented Divinity, a divine trait left by a previous transmigrator, setting the stage for his struggle to prove himself.
