The Elemental system
Axton Backwoods has always felt like an outsider in his small village of Ashen Grove. Though his classmates possess elemental powers, Axton has never displayed any abilities. Raised by his foster parents, William and Evelyn, Axton’s life has been ordinary—at least, as ordinary as life can be when everyone around you seems to possess something extraordinary. Despite his lack of visible powers, Axton senses that something is different about him, though he can’t quite place what it is.
When the academy representatives come to Ashen Grove to test potential candidates for their prestigious institution, most of the villagers expect to be chosen based on their elemental abilities. But Axton knows that he doesn’t fit the typical mold. With no elemental magic to speak of, he doesn’t think he stands a chance. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he’s chosen by the academy, though the reasons behind their decision remain a mystery.
It isn’t until Axton arrives at the academy that he discovers the truth. In a life-threatening situation, Axton is faced with a choice: to accept the mysterious Elemental System that suddenly manifests before him or face certain danger alone. The System, an enigmatic force that offers rewards, missions, and guidance, reveals to Axton that he has hidden potential—powers he never knew existed. These powers, unlike any elemental abilities he’s seen before, are unique to him and will set him on a path of self-discovery and adventure.
As Axton begins to navigate his new life at the academy, he uncovers not only the scope of his powers but also the secrets behind his true heritage, his connection to the hidden world of magic, and the dangerous forces that have been watching him for years. Though his powers are still developing, the Elemental System becomes his greatest ally, helping him survive deadly tests and overcome obstacles that others can’t.
Axton’s journey at the academy will reveal more than just his own abilities—it will uncover a world of magic, intrigue, and power, one that will change everything he thought he knew about himself. But as his powers grow, so too do the dangers that await him, and Axton must decide if he’s ready to face the truth about his past and the challenges of the future.
