In a world where magic and technology intertwine, where gods walk among mortals and celestial forces dictate the fate of civilizations, Elian Drayven stands as an anomaly—an enigma hidden in plain sight. Born with magic powerful enough to rival the gods themselves, his abilities remain locked behind an intricate system, demanding growth and mastery before he can wield his full potential.

Raised in the futuristic city of Elyndria, Elian is a student at Astralis Academy, a prestigious institution that molds the strongest warriors and spellcasters. Yet, unbeknownst to his peers, he harbors a secret that could shake the foundations of the world. Only Eve, his ever-present AI companion, knows the truth: Elian is more than just a prodigy—he is a threat to the very balance of power.

When a sudden surge of uncontrolled energy draws the attention of the Celestial Sanctum, an elite governing force that monitors magical anomalies, Elian finds himself on the precipice of discovery. As factions within Elyndria mobilize to uncover the source of this mysterious disturbance, powerful figures begin to take notice—some seeking to eliminate him, others eager to use him as a weapon.

Haunted by the remnants of a past war that claimed his parents, pursued by forces that seek to either control or destroy him, Elian must navigate a treacherous path filled with ancient secrets, deadly adversaries, and an unfolding prophecy that ties his fate to the forgotten history of the gods.

As he levels up and unlocks the dormant powers within him, Elian must decide: will he remain hidden in the shadows, or will he rise and forge his own legend—one that defies both fate and the gods themselves?

ASCENSION OF THE UNKNOWN GOD.

Elian turned his attention back to the mana orb before him. Now that the distraction was over, it was time to complete the exercise.

With careful precision, he channeled a sliver of mana into the crystal. It responded immediately, moving through the air like a feather caught in a gentle breeze.

The course ahead was deceptively simple—a series of floating hoops through which the students had to guide their orbs. However, the true challenge lay in the subtle adjustments required to maneuver without losing stability.

Most students struggled to control the flow of mana, either using too much—causing erratic movements—or too little, which made the orb sluggish.

Elian, however, found it effortless.

He navigated through the first few hoops with precise movements, ensuring that he matched the pace of an average student. He didn't want to be the best, nor did he want to seem incompetent—just good enough to pass without drawing suspicion.

As he reached the final stretch, he decided to push his control slightly further, just to test the true limits of his mana precision.

He compressed his mana output, refining the connection to the orb until the movement became as smooth as flowing water. The crystal moved with perfect grace, gliding through the final hoops without the slightest deviation.

He finished a full minute ahead of the others but deliberately paused before completing the last hoop, waiting just long enough to blend in with the rest.

A few students noticed and threw glances his way, but none of them suspected anything unusual.

At the front of the class, Professor Seraphina observed the students, her expression unreadable. When her gaze settled on him again, Elian could tell—she was still watching him.

Meanwhile… The Scouting Unit Moves

Far from the academy, a group of figures clad in dark armor stood at the edge of a vast forest. The air was thick with tension, their eyes scanning the landscape with sharp precision.

These were the Scouting Units—elite hunters trained to track and contain potential anomalies before they could disrupt the balance of power.

And right now, they were searching for the source of last night's energy surge.

One of the scouts, a man with raven-black hair and a scar across his left eye, pressed his hand against a tree. A soft glow flickered beneath his palm as he activated his tracking skill.

"Captain." His voice was sharp. "I've found traces of something… unnatural."

Their leader, a tall figure wrapped in a cloak of midnight blue, turned toward him. "Report."

The scout hesitated. "It's strange… the energy is faint, almost as if it's been deliberately suppressed. But for a brief moment, it was powerful—far beyond anything we've encountered before."

The captain narrowed his eyes. "Then someone doesn't want to be found."

He glanced at his unit before issuing a command. "Spread out. Search the perimeter. If this energy belongs to a beast, eliminate it. If it belongs to something… else—" He paused, his voice growing cold. "We report it immediately."

The scouts moved silently, vanishing into the shadows of the trees.

Somewhere in the distance, hidden beyond their sight, the energy that had drawn them here had long since disappeared.

But they were not the only ones searching.
