Fate's Bastard

"Fate… has blessed you."



With that haunting whisper, Aeron's nightmare begins.



The son of a duke’s mistress, hidden from court and raised behind quiet walls, Aeron’s life is shattered by the arrival of a mysterious guest whose presence changes everything.



Tragedy follows....



Cast into a world that barely acknowledges his existence, Aeron is sent to live with a father he has never met. There, he confronts the harsh truth: he is a bastard, unwanted by his new family, dismissed by the man who should protect him.



But when a small, curious moment reveals a flicker of something unusual in the boy, the duke's calculating eyes see a use for him. Aeron is offered a single chance: pass the trial, and earn a place at the Ardorion Imperial Academy, where the empire’s finest are trained in magic, blade, and power.



Aeron begins to wonder if fate truly has blessed him—or simply chosen him for ruin.



He will endure. With each challenge, he will learn and harden.

And one day, he will rise, not as they intended—but as he was fated to.
