In a world where magic thrives and mythical beasts lurk in the shadows, Tohgi Akura is born into the unforgiving southern district of Vandekar, a lawless land ruled by bandits and plagued by poverty. Despite his humble beginnings, Tohgi harbors an audacious dream: to achieve that dream he must become a Knight, a title synonymous with honor, power, and nobility.

His raw talent rivals the elite, but his lack of noble heritage leaves him scorned by the privileged. Yet, Tohgi’s unwavering determination and resilience catch the attention of influential figures who see potential in the unrefined boy. With their assistance, Tohgi rises through the ranks, challenging a society built to keep people like him in the dirt.

But ambition has its price. As Tohgi carves his path toward greatness, his defiance against the status quo ignites conflicts that spiral into devastating wars. In his quest to protect those he loves and what he stands for, Tohgi must grapple with the weight of his choices and the sacrifices demanded by his legacy.

Will Tohgi Akura go down in history as a hero, a tyrant or just another man. His story is one of ambition, loyalty, and the unrelenting cost of dreams.

Do not hesitate to comment your thoughts at any point in the story,  it would bring me great joy to be able to interact with readers of my work. I hope to see you on the other side.

Reformation: Southern Knight

Tohgi was taken aback by Sonia's calmness, her words hanging in the air. He quickly masked his shock, ensuring his expression remained neutral, not wanting to worry her further. Inside, however, his mind raced, grappling with the weight of her statement and the implications it carried.

Sonia: It's okay to look at me with disgust

Tohgi: It is more shock than disgust, but in most cases there is usually more to it than meets the eye

Sonia: As you should know from your time here, cursed magic comes at a cost and the cost almost exclusively requires a sacrifice, the magic spell the sovereign chose for you was ironic wasn't it? Still I found yours quite easy to do

Tohgi: Compared to killing your parents almost anything sounds easy to do

Sonia: I am a monster right? Mine was supposedly meant to be poetic, to destroy that which hunts you, you must first destroy that which binds you. That is the requirement to destroy magic.
