The Mana of Malice

In a world where magic is a divine right, granted only to the faithful and the noble, Kael Blackwell is born mana-dead—unable to channel even a spark of spellcraft. Mocked, ostracized, and discarded by his family, Kael is sent to a remote monastery as a mercy, expected to live out a powerless, forgotten life.



But on the eve of his 18th birthday, the world’s holy magic system rejects him one final time.



And another system answers.



System Detected: Villain Protocol Activated

Power Source: Negative Intent (hatred, betrayal, pain, wrath)

Status: Bound to Forbidden Mana Core. Proceeding with installation…



What begins as a flicker of cursed mana becomes a black tide. Every cruel act strengthens Kael’s soul, mutating his spells and breaking the limits of the divine system. The more the world condemns him, the stronger he grows. He will burn their heroes. Shatter their temples. Rewrite the laws of magic.



There will be no redemption—only ruin.
