“Attention, Lost Souls.” In that moment his entire life was turned around.

Abandoned as an infant during a raging storm, Aric is found drifting down a river and raised in secret by a reclusive hermit. For years, he lives a quiet life, unaware of the power sleeping within him until a sudden surge of magic reveals his terrifying gift. He can command the storm.

Worse, an ancient prophecy foretells that his power will either save the world or break it. Forced into exile, Aric embarks on a dangerous journey to uncover the truth about his origins, master his abilities and choose his fate. But with darkness rising and enemies closing in, one question remains: Is he the storm that will destroy the world or its only hope?

Flames, torrents, and storms rage within the irises of the mighty, and the elite four clans rule over this magical realm. But for Rai, a 12-year-old boy with ordinary eyes, life is anything but ordinary. Despite being born without the gift of magic, Rai dreams of becoming the Elmag—the supreme leader of the four clans and the most powerful being in the land. His audacious goal is met with ridicule and skepticism at every turn, but Rai’s unshakable confidence and quirky charm make him a force to be reckoned with. When Rai receives a mysterious invitation to the prestigious Magia Elemental Academy, the world’s greatest magic school, he steps into a whirlwind of intrigue, rivalry, and discovery. His arrival sparks chaos, as he openly declares his intentions to rise to the top and even boldly proclaims that the beautiful and fiery Rose Scarlett, daughter of the current Elmag, will one day be his wife. From comedic clashes with overconfident bullies to high-stakes magical duels, Rai’s journey is fraught with danger, laughter, and mystery. His encounter with Mammoth Stark, the academy’s most powerful student, and the enigmatic Frost Kromus sets the stage for a battle of wills and powers. But unbeknownst to many, Rai harbors a secret—one that could shake the very foundations of this magical world. With his unyielding determination, Rai challenges the norms of society and sets out to prove that greatness isn’t confined to the glow of one’s eyes. His journey is not just about power, but about redefining what it means to be extraordinary. Will this boy with “ordinary” eyes rise to the pinnacle of a world that deems him unworthy? Or will he succumb to the overwhelming odds stacked against him? One thing is certain—Rai’s story is anything but ordinary.

They call him The Garbage Man. A name that sounds like a joke—until you realize what it means. He doesn’t clean filth. He doesn’t fix what’s broken. He removes what shouldn’t exist. No hesitation. No morality. If a world spirals beyond reason, if a being grows too absolute—he is sent to erase it. Not by choice. Not by fate. By The Workshop. It watches the multiverse. It does not create. It does not destroy. It decides. In a world where power decides everything, he walks alone. No cause. No loyalty. No chains. Just an unshakable will and the resolve to carve his path—no matter the cost. If you’ve heard his name, it’s already too late.
