Power is everything. Without it, you are nothing.
That is the law of the world.
Born without magic, Kurobane Arashi was abandoned by his own family, stripped of his title, and exiled from the only life he had ever known. The noble houses sneered at him. The empire dismissed him as a failure.
But they were wrong.
Arashi does not need magic to be powerful. He needs only patience.
From the shadows, he watches. He learns. He grows. With each step, he weaves a web of secrets, manipulating the arrogant elite who once scorned him. The weak boy they cast aside will not return seeking acceptance—he will return as the one who decides their fate.
Yet, as ancient forces awaken and unseen enemies rise, Arashi finds himself at the center of a game far greater than simple revenge. A silent war rages in the darkness, and the world itself trembles on the brink of destruction.
In the end, there will be no kings. No gods. No empires.
Only shadows.
And Arashi will reign over them all.
I sick at writing reviews but the only thing I gotta say is I love this novel so I hope it continues to update more
