Blaze Index: Reborn to Stop Living Bombs

Kendrick was thirty, successful, and done. He sold his company, smiled through his “you’re retired now” party… and watched the entire room fold into nothing. No explosion. No fire. Just people, glass, and air collapsing into a point that ate everything. When he opens his eyes again, he’s a child named Glorius in a city built on magic lines. Here, losing control doesn’t just burn mana – it turns you into a living bomb. They call it Blaze. When someone flares, space itself twists. Streets warp. Buildings sink. The scars stay. To keep the city alive, the white-coated Wardens cut hosts down “for mercy” and lock high-risk children inside stronger wards. Everyone is ranked by the Blaze Index – a number that says how likely you are to destroy the people around you if you slip. Glorius feels the lines in his bones. He watches his new father walk the danger routes, sees a neighbor’s grandson taken away “for observation,” and learns his own Index is higher than it should be. He doesn’t vow to become the strongest mage in the world. He wants to sit near the people who decide who lives, who dies, and which street gets sacrificed when the next Scar appears. From outer-lane student to junior in the Wardens’ line program, Glorius walks straight into the heart of a system that’s the only thing stopping the city from tearing itself apart… and the same system that quietly crushes anyone it labels “too dangerous.” The Wardens, the rebels trying to cure Blaze, the Board that manages the Index – none of them are clean. In a world where any mage can become a living bomb, how do you save people without turning into the monster they fear?
