The Elemental system
Axton Backwoods has always been an outsider.
In the quiet village of Ashen Grove, where everyone wields powerful Abilities, Axton stands apart—ordinary, powerless, and a constant target for ridicule. Raised by his foster parents, William and Evelyn, he’s resigned himself to a life of mediocrity.
Everything changes when the academy representatives arrive, testing villagers for admission into their prestigious school. Axton, with no visible magic, expects rejection. Yet, to everyone’s shock—including his own—he’s chosen. But why?
At the academy, Axton quickly discovers he doesn’t belong. That is, until a life-threatening event forces him to make a fateful choice: accept a mysterious System that offers him power, missions, and guidance—or face certain death. With the System’s help, Axton begins to unlock abilities unlike anything he’s ever seen.
But power comes at a price. As Axton navigates dangerous trials and uncovers the academy’s secrets, he learns the truth about his hidden heritage and his connection to forces far beyond his imagination. With enemies closing in and a destiny he never asked for, Axton must decide: will he rise to the challenge, or let the weight of his past crush him?
