Rise Of The Relentless
In a world where power is everything, every child is born with Aether—the energy that shapes strength, status, and destiny.
Everyone… except Kael Draven.
Born without even a trace of Aether, Kael is branded a failure in a kingdom that worships power. Mocked by elites and ignored by society, he still dreams of the impossible: becoming the Supreme Commander of Aether, the leader of all who wield it. With nothing but relentless training, sharp instincts, and an unbreakable will, Kael refuses to surrender to fate.
When the Aether Trials begin, Kael is placed into Iron Resolve, the academy’s worst and most ridiculed team—a group marked by black stars and known only for failure. Meanwhile, his childhood rival, the prodigy Rion Valeris, joins the most elite squad, earning gold stars with ease and standing at the peak Kael can only chase.
Among Kael’s team is Lyra Selendis, a noble girl whose unstable Aether has made her the laughingstock of her family and peers. Forced together, resentment slowly turns into trust, and trust into something deeper, as Kael’s determination inspires his team to rise. One mission at a time, black stars are erased, gold stars are earned, and Iron Resolve begins its climb from the bottom to the top.
But their growth draws dangerous attention.
In the shadows, the followers of Malrik Noctis, a terrifying figure seeking to tear the kingdom apart, begin to move. As conspiracies unfold and war looms closer, Kael is forced to confront the truth hidden within himself—a power unlike Aether, a strength born not from energy, but from will.
With rivals closing in, enemies rising, and the fate of the kingdom at stake, Kael must prove that leadership is not granted by power…
but forged through resolve.
This is the story of a powerless boy who refuses to kneel—
and the legend he will carve into the world.
