THE OTHER IN ME
In this world, magic flows through Veins — natural conduits in the body that channel raw energy called Resonance. Every individual is born with a unique Affinity, a subtle alignment that shapes how their Resonance manifests: fire, shadow, kinetic force, or rarer, unstable forms.
Resonance is the invisible current of raw magical energy that courses through a person’s Veins — the internal pathways that conduct magical flow, similar to how blood carries oxygen. It’s not the spell itself, but the power behind it — like electricity before it’s channeled into machines.
After a catastrophic magical incident during a practice duel, Seren Vael is left with a ruined reputation — and a mind that is no longer fully his.
Everyone believes he simply lost control.
Only Seren knows the truth: something else moved through him that day.
A second soul.
A presence that speaks in the quiet, stirs in dreams, and pulls at his magic like it was always meant to be theirs.
As his Affinity warps and his control falters, Seren begins to change — emotionally, mentally, even physically.
He was a side character.
He still is.
He just wanted to be left alone.
…But fate, have other plans.
