The Original Sin of the Ether

In a world where magic is breathed like people breathe air, humanity is born with powers called "Ether Souls"—every human is born bound to a primal soul that determines their magic type, class, and fate.



But there is a sacred rule:



> "He who is not born with a soul is not considered human."



In the high capital of Aurelius, the nobles gather in the Tower of Souls, while the poor fight for a drop of energy.



In the Soul Wasteland, where those born without souls are thrown, a boy named Eden is born.



He was dead at birth. No soul, no pulse, no hope.



But on the third night, he opened his eyes... and screamed.



That scream tore through the walls of the place, and space cracked.

He was born with a black, ethereal spirit... not of this world.
