Raiden Shogun Aether

Murder and war. That is the only thing known by the people in this world. Hundreds of years of endless slaughter. A futuristic society, where those capable of using mana are known as witches and wizards. Endless conflict, both internal and external. A young boy named Raiden-who attends one of the 7 grand magic academies which trains magicians for war- finds it increasingly harder to keep hold of his mission: Protect Kami, with every day, as the already tipping balance between magicians and non-magicians, teeters even more. Also on Royal Road!

In a world where power and identity are tied to the mastery of a single elemental force, the community of Solarys thrives on balance and tradition. Here, every family is bound to one of the six elements: fire, water, earth, air, light, or shadow. The abilities of each child are revealed at birth, etched into their palms as sacred symbols. Yet, anyone who dares to wield more than one element is considered an abomination a threat to the very fabric of their existence. Jeremy, born into a powerless family on the outskirts of society, is a quiet outcast with no apparent destiny. His family, long shunned for their lack of elemental ties, has endured generations of solitude. But when Jeremy's baby sister is born with four elemental marks—fire, water, air, and earth—fear and suspicion descend upon them like a storm. Her birth defies the laws of their world and exposes the fragile peace of Solarys to cracks that cannot be ignored. As Jeremy grows older, his own powers begin to awaken in secret—an astonishing ability to wield all six elements, something thought impossible. Terrified of the community’s wrath, Jeremy hides his gifts, knowing that being discovered could mean exile or death. But when a mysterious rogue sect called the Aetherbound Council rises to seize control of the realm’s most powerful artifact, the Heart of the Aether, the balance of the elements—and the fate of the world—rests on Jeremy’s shoulders. Guided by cryptic prophecies, ancient trials, and a reluctant band of allies, Jeremy embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind his abilities. Along the way, he faces spectral guardians, the enigmatic alchemist Azarial Vehris, and visions of a dark future where his powers become a curse. As his bond with the elements grows, Jeremy must decide whether to embrace his destiny as the Master of the Six Elements or risk losing everything he holds dear. Master of the Six Elements is a tale of courage, self-discovery, and the price of defying tradition. Jeremy’s journey will challenge the boundaries of power, redefine the meaning of family, and determine the future of a realm teetering on the brink of chaos.

But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world.

In a world where power is defined by one’s spirit roots, Raiden Rael is seen as a good-for-nothing—a young master with seemingly low-level roots, the subject of scorn from his family and rivals alike.

But what price will he pay for such strength? With enemies on all sides—his half-brother Torrin, rivals hungry for status, and a cultivation world that despises weakness—Raiden must navigate a perilous path. But power comes with a cost, and Raiden is an anomaly the heavens themselves seek to suppress.
