The most-liked comments will be featured on our Discord (link in BIO) along with an image of the character!

Ishida Namikaze, raised in the harsh and unknown Divine Continent, spent his life without any exposure to cultivation. Yet, the latent power within his body defies all logic, making him an enigma to those who cross his path. Unaware of the secrets surrounding his origin, Ishida is thrust into the world of Gaya—a place where kingdoms wage war, guilds hunt colossal creatures, and the pursuit of power shapes the fate of the most ambitious. With a pure heart and an insatiable thirst for justice, he walks an uncertain path, slowly uncovering the vastness of the universe around him. But his existence does not go unnoticed. Among unlikely allies and hidden enemies, unseen forces begin to stir, fearing what he might become. Will Ishida be able to find his purpose amidst the gears of a world that never saw him as part of its destiny? Will his name echo as a mere traveler—or as a true ruler of fate?

I yawned, fighting off sleep as my professor droned on about the three-body problem—even though it was notoriously unsolvable. 'Geez, why do we need to learn this?' I thought, shaking my head. Suddenly, a holographic screen materialized before my eyes, its message slicing through the monotony: "Moonfall Has Begun. Your Class Has Been Assigned.” I glanced around, and saw confused faces all over—everyone staring, just as bewildered as I was. 'Does everyone see this?' I wondered, my heart starting to pound. My screen flickered, then declared in bold: Main Class: Astral Equationist. Before I could process any further, a piercing scream shattered the classroom’s uneasy silence. I barely had time to register the sound as chaos erupted around me.

Kaelan Mercer is a young and passionate teacher, freshly graduated and eager to inspire the next generation. However, his world is irrevocably shattered when he loses his only family member, his father, thrusting him into a chasm of grief. In a desperate attempt to bring his father back, Kaelan searches for the fabled "Grimoire of Revival," a mysterious tome rumored to possess the secrets of resurrection. During his relentless search, Kaelan stumbles upon an ancient library, where he accidentally activates the powerful magic within the book. To his dismay, he learns that the grimoire is not what it seemed—it is an ancient artifact of outworld magic that transports him to Starren, a vibrant realm brimming with magic and extraordinary beings, rather than providing the resurrection he sought. Upon his unexpected arrival at Aster Light Academy, the inhabitants mistakenly view him as a figure of immense power. In Starren, those of lower magical rank cannot sense the abilities of those higher than themselves, and Kaelan, devoid of any magical capabilities, is perceived as a powerful being beyond their comprehension. Amidst the admiration and reverence from students and faculty alike, he grapples with the weight of expectation and the façade he must maintain as an alleged paragon of strength. As he navigates the complexities of his new life, Kaelan is painfully aware that he is the weakest entity in the entire academy, vulnerable and in danger at every moment. Though he strives to honor his father's legacy and live a fruitful life in his place, he is burdened by the crushing pressure of his secret—that his supposed magic is nothing more than an illusion. Determined to uncover the true nature of magic and the secrets held within the Grimoire’s ancient power, Kaelan learns that understanding oneself can be more challenging than unraveling the mysteries of the arcane. Join him on a journey filled with humor, heart, and self-discovery, where the most powerful magic lies not in spells or illusions, but in the strength of the spirit and the bonds we forge along the way.
