The sky shattering devil

“I sold my future for a single breath.”



In a world where magic is real but locked behind bloodlines and money, Arin has nothing. No awakened mana core. No training. No fortune. Only two broken parents, a mountain of debt, and a stolen opportunity that was never his to begin with.



To survive, he sold his university seat — his one ticket into a better life — to a noble’s son. Now, he hunts mutated beasts in cursed forests using unstable magic-infused artifacts he can't afford to fix.



On one such hunt, injured and alone, Arin crawls into the stomach of a giant snake to avoid being torn apart by a flying predator.



But this isn’t the end.



This is where he begins.



Hidden in blood, rot, and desperation, a spark still burns in him. Arin doesn’t have talent. He doesn’t have power.



What he does have?



A reason to fight — and the fury to burn the world down for it.



This is not the tale of a chosen one. This is the tale of the one who refused to die.
