Tale Of The Manaless Misfit
Former assassin Victor Day finds himself waking up as a new person by the name of Cain Everest, a son of a young couple who have tried so many times to have children but with no luck. Cain is what one may say is either a miracle or blessing.
Victor, who is now Cain, discovers that he is born in a world completely different than his old one, as it happens that this new world of his is actually a world where magic is an everyday life. But as he grows up and comes to the age where he is supposed to awaken his own magical powers, Cain discovers that he can't awaken his powers, but he also learns that he can't actually use any magic abilities, meaning that he is manaless.
In a world that mana is an important part of life, without it one may not even be regarded as a person, and there's not even a name for it. Instead of feeling sorry for himself or thinking that his new parents may not like him like before, or even if they disown him like every parent with magic who doesn't want to be associated with a child that doesn't have any trace of magic.
Things didn't turn out like that. His parents loved him regardless of his problem, and though the outside world won't welcome him like his loving parents, Cain didn't want to accept that, and he knew that though he didn't have any mana, he was still different from the others. He had a secret in his previous life: he was one of the most dangerous assassins, and in order to survive this cold, hard, and cruel world, he should use that experience of his.
As he grows up, Cain has now adapted to this new world of his, and he understands the hierarchical structure of the world and the magic, but it's still not easy for him, especially since everyone knows the tale of the manaless Everest child. But people don't know that just because he doesn't have any magic, it doesn't mean that he is weak and useless as they hope, especially not after he was kidnapped and had a run with a demon. After that confrontation, everything changed for Cain. Though he still remained manaless, something was different with him.
He was overpowered for his own good, and for some reason it seemed like Cain was just immune to magic, and every time he had a little scuffle with his peers, they would see his real, true power.
Power that they fear, power that is unspeakable, the kind of power that the hierarchical structure don't even have but desire to possess. As he learns that there is an ongoing war between the deities, the angels, spirits, and monarchs, and as this war brews, Cain learns that he is also part of this war, and not just because his people are meant to fight for the deities, but because it's the possibility of their own extinction.
As he keeps on getting older and reaching his teen years, the war gets out of hand, and now those deities who are fighting against each other now seem to have formed an alliance, and that alliance seems to be after him. As now he gets introduced to the Monarchs, and he learns that there is a reason why they are after him, and there is a reason why it feels like he doesn't have any mana, and he learns that though he didn't know, but he once ran into a Monarch, and that Monarch is the most powerful one there is, so powerful that he alone can cause the whole world to go extinct.
Now Cain is no longer fighting for himself, but also for his new family and the friends that he made along his journey, as he been given an ultimatum of whether he fights in this war or just let the deities come for him.
