Corpse Bride The Nightmare Before Christmas

Born with no element. Marked as worthless. In a world where elemental power decides your future, Gintan has none. No fire. No lightning. Nothing. Mocked by his peers and abandoned by the system, he trains alone—desperate to prove he belongs on the same stage as those born gifted. But when a brutal, masked Champion offers him a deal—burn your dreams for now, and train under me for two years—Gintan makes his choice. He burns the flyer. What follows is pain, discipline, and something awakening deep inside him… something no one has seen before. A story of grit, growth, and a power that whispers on the wind.
