SILENT CROWN -- Mind Over All

“They say this world is fair—that everyone has a chance.

But I hear their thoughts.

I know the envy behind their praise, the cruelty beneath their kindness.

This world isn't broken.

It's beautifully rotten—smiling on the surface, bleeding underneath.

And the worst part?

The more I listen… the more I become like it.”



----------------------------------

I died.



But right before the end, I heard something that shattered me more than death ever could.



My crying parents… whispered,

"It’s better that he died."



I don’t know why they said it. I never got to ask.

Because in that moment, something awakened—

The power to hear thoughts.

And then… darkness.



But fate wasn't finished with me.



I woke up in a new world: Nexarion, a realm of swords, sorcery, and powerful races.

No race dominates here—humans, elves, beastkin, demons… we all stand on equal ground.

Or at least, we pretend to.



I didn’t get any cheat skill or overpowered blessing. No system. No prophecy.

Just two things:

– A strange weapon: the GunBlade.

– And my old mind-reading power… still intact.



I have no memories of this body’s past—only its name: Zevir. And a rundown business that doesn’t tell me much. As I search for the truth, my path leads me to Thaloarion Arcanum Academy, the most elite academy in the world.



But this academy already has its protagonists—multiple ones. Chosen ones. Genius mages, future legends.



I’m not one of them.



But I carry a secret they don’t.



Because my power is changing.

And as I rise through the ranks,

My ability to read minds… won’t stay just mind-reading for long.
