Aerthos: Soulforged

In a world powered by the cultivation of potent Spirit Souls, Ren is an outcast. Born with a chaotic, primordial power that renders him "Aether-deaf," he is seen as a worthless dud in a society that values strength above all else. His entry into the prestigious Eldorian Spirit Master Academy marks him as a target for scorn and ridicule from the powerful scions of noble houses.

But Ren’s seeming weakness hides a terrifying potential, a secret recognized by only one person: a mysterious and powerful GAMA Elder who takes the boy under his wing. Forced to live a double life, Ren endures public humiliation as the academy’s worst student while secretly undergoing a brutal and unorthodox training regimen. He learns to turn his weakness into a weapon, mastering a unique art of manipulating the physical world that defies the known laws of cultivation.

Using his sharp intellect and invisible arts, Ren achieves a series of impossible victories against opponents far stronger than himself. However, his success doesn't bring glory; it brings suspicion. Each baffling victory makes him a greater enigma, attracting the unwanted attention of not just his academy rivals, but also a powerful, shadowy organization that sees his unique existence as a dangerous anomaly that must be understood—or erased.

Now, Ren must navigate a treacherous world where every display of his true ability could lead to his destruction. He must unravel the secrets of his forgotten bloodline and master the raging storm within his soul, all while hiding his power from allies and enemies alike. For in a world where might is right, the greatest threat is the one that no one ever sees coming.
