Death Ranking

One year ago, mysterious numbers appeared above every human's head.
No one knew what they meant.
Governments celebrated high-ranked individuals. Society worshipped them. Low-ranked people were treated as worthless.
Then the impossible happened.
Every person with Rank 1 died at the exact same moment.
Humanity realized the rankings were predicting something far more terrifying than success.
Now, seventeen-year-old Akira Ren, a supposedly insignificant boy ranked 873, witnesses a Rank 1 victim's final words:
"They can see us."
As more top-ranked individuals disappear, Akira becomes entangled in a conspiracy involving a secret organization known as Null, a mysterious girl who survived her destined death, and The Archive—an ancient intelligence that has been controlling humanity's future for thousands of years.
To uncover the truth, Akira must challenge a system that decides every person's value before they're even given a chance to live.
But the deeper he digs, the more horrifying the truth becomes:
The rankings were never created to predict humanity's future.
They were created to control it.
