In a world where Stars choose their champions, what happens when the Stars stay silent?
On the continent of Aurora, power is everything—and power comes from the Stars.
Through blood, discipline, and the sacred Stellaris Path, cultivators ascend by forging bonds with celestial forces—either Elemental or Conceptual—unlocking abilities capable of bending fire, warping time, or even tearing apart reality itself. From noble houses to imperial courts, one’s worth is measured in starlight.
But not all are chosen.
Kalel D. Ashborn, the youngest son of a mid-tier noble house, was expected to awaken early—expected to shine. Instead, he was abandoned by the very power that defines his world. At his Awakening Rite, his core burned white—silent, empty, and cold. No flare. No resonance. No star.
To his family, he is a disgrace. To his empire, a footnote. To himself, a mystery.
What no one knows—not even Kalel—is that his white core is not emptiness, but the slumbering Origin Star—the source of all celestial power, forgotten by time and hidden from fate. With it, he does not merely bond with a single element—he holds the potential to wield all twenty. Fire and shadow. Time and death. Order and chaos.
But power of this scale demands a price.
Cast aside, exiled, and hunted, Kalel must walk a path forged in pain and isolation. Through haunted ruins, shattered kingdoms, and into the very skies where the four great Academies drift among the clouds, he will learn to seize the strength no one offered him—and carve a new name into the firmament.
As empires prepare for war and ancient myths stir from slumber, one boy will rise from nothing.
Not chosen by the stars.
Beyond them.
“To be born empty is not a curse it’s a blank canvas.”
