Beginning of Magic
"Hajimari, watch out!" was the last thing I heard before I lost consciousness. "Is this the end?" I sighed. "Then so be it. No, I mustn't give up."
Humans, elves, beasts... waging wars. The strong oppressing the weak. So it is in a world where magic is essential. All beings are born with an affinity for magic. They may be born with one or more magical elements that will define their achievements. It's said in legends that with the creation of the world, all beings had magic—the source of all. If you reach the apex, you could do the impossible.
A young mage named Hajimari, a paid mercenary working for a mercenary group, is sent on a mission with his crew to scout and retrieve a treasure from the ruins of another planet. But this led to the downfall of his crew. Barely alive, he clings to life, refusing to let death do its job. "No, I can't fall here, not like this. I am not done. How would they fare without me?"
A light flashes, and he loses consciousness. He falls into a dream surrounded by darkness, with a small shining orb at its center. When he wakes, he will be shocked by the changes that have happened to him.
Join Hajimari as he walks a path full of thorns and the blood of his enemies, reaching the apex of the world, bending karma, time, space, and soon the world at his will.
