Threads of Fire and Starlight

Born without a noble crest. Raised in the shadow of the Kingdom. Integrated late into the System with a self-forged interface no one understands. Zane was supposed to be a footnote—just another low-tier student trying to get through orientation at Corvalis Arx, the most prestigious magic academy in the known world.



Then came the deathknight.



Now everyone is watching him—royal heirs, powerful Houses, and something much older lurking beneath the System’s surface. Some want to claim him. Others want to erase him. And Zane? He just wants to survive long enough to earn enough credits to buy medicine for his sick brother and maybe pass his next mana theory exam.



But when your magic doesn't follow the rules—and your bloodline might be stronger than the Empire itself—you don’t get to stay anonymous for long.



Thread by thread, the world is unraveling.

And Zane might be the key to stitching it back together... or setting it all on fire.
