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.

The Crimson Horned Tiger let out a deep, guttural growl, its massive frame tense with power. Its sleek crimson fur shimmered under the faint sunlight filtering through the trees, and its curved black horns crackled with raw energy.

Elian instinctively took a step back, his perception skill screaming warnings in his mind.

— Crimson Horned Tiger (Level 9) —

A beast known for its lightning-fast reflexes and immense physical strength. Capable of launching high-speed charge attacks and enhanced claw strikes. Weakness: Water-based abilities.

The tiger's muscles coiled, and before Elian could react, it vanished.

His eyes widened as he barely caught a flicker of movement. A fraction of a second later—

A crushing force slammed into his side, sending him crashing through several trees. His Flame Armor activated just in time, but even then, he felt the impact rattle his bones.

Elian gritted his teeth as he staggered to his feet. "Tch. This thing is fast."

The tiger didn't give him a chance to recover.

It lunged again, claws shimmering with energy, aiming straight for his throat. Elian's Shadow Step activated on instinct, teleporting him away just as the claws slashed through empty air. He reappeared behind the beast, summoning a Frozen Spear mid-air.

With a flick of his wrist, the spear shot forward like a missile. But—

The tiger twisted mid-air, its horn intercepting the spear and shattering it instantly!

Elian's mind raced. Not only is it fast, but it reacts quickly too…

For the first time in a long while, Elian was forced to strategize.

He activated Mist Veil, shrouding the battlefield in thick fog. If he couldn't keep up with the tiger's speed, he'd limit its vision instead.

The beast growled, shifting uncertainly in the mist.

He channeled Shadow Binding, sending dark tendrils surging through the fog, latching onto the tiger's limbs. The beast roared, struggling against the restraints, but Elian didn't stop.

A tidal wave erupted from beneath him, crashing down on the tiger with immense force. Water flooded the battlefield, making movement difficult for the beast.

Elian didn't let up. He gathered mana into his fist, then leaped forward.

A new skill notification flashed before him.

— NEW SKILL ACQUIRED: Hydro Clone(5skill point used) —

Creates an identical water clone of the user to attack or distract enemies.

At that moment, a copy of Elian formed from the water. While the tiger struggled, the clone rushed in from behind, striking with a powerful Hydro-infused punch.

The tiger let out a final roar before collapsing into the flooded terrain.

— Crimson Horned Tiger Defeated! —

— 5 Attribute Points Acquired —

— Reward: Upgrade in Water Ability —

Elian stood amidst the destruction, his chest rising and falling heavily. This fight had been far harder than any he had faced before.

He clenched his fist, feeling the lingering energy of his new ability.

"So... this is what true battle feels like."

A smirk played on his lips. He was just getting started.
