Ash Phantom: The Boy They Abandoned
In Ryuki City—a place where elemental magic defines power and status—Auren Ryuki was born into a family of prodigies. His elder and younger brothers wield fire and wind like extensions of their soul. But Auren? He awakened… nothing.
Rejected by the mage academy, ignored by his powerful father, and forgotten in the shadows of greatness, Auren became little more than a servant in his own home—cooking meals, cleaning blades, and pretending his heart wasn’t breaking.
But everything changed the day the rival Yuzen Clan struck. His eldest brother, the pride of Ryuki, was killed. And instead of mourning together, Auren was blamed—punched, cast out, and disowned. With nothing left to lose, Auren fled into the forbidden mountains where fate awaited him in the form of an ancient stranger.
Offered a path of power that defied the laws of the elemental world, Auren accepted. He trained, bled, and awakened a new kind of magic—one born not of fire or wind, but of raw soul: purple flame, the magic of the forsaken.
Now cloaked in mystery and wielding terrifying power, Auren returns to the city as the Ash Phantom—a masked vigilante striking down corruption, clan by clan. But even as the world fears him, none suspect the truth: the boy they abandoned is back... and he’s not done burning.
