when light defies darkness
In a world ruled by magic, nobility, and the looming shadow of apocalypse, kindness may be the rarest power of all.
Kaito, a boy born without magic, lives a quiet life in the humble village of Elderhart. Raised by a retired warrior and a gentle healer, Kaito’s days are filled with laughter, wooden sword duels, and the companionship of his cheerful childhood friend. But when a noble girl named Mira visits the village and finds herself in danger, Kaito throws himself into the fray—despite having no powers of his own.
That one moment of courage unlocks something buried deep within him… something ancient, something radiant.
As gratitude, Mira’s father grants Kaito a place at Aurelia Academy, a prestigious institution where only the most powerful and noble gather. Among enchanted spires, magical politics, and whispered rumors of darkness rising, Kaito struggles to find his place.
But far away, someone else watches. A brilliant student. A powerful magic user. And someone with a connection to Kaito that not even fate has fully revealed.
As mysterious forces stir and the world trembles on the edge of ruin, one question remains:
Can a single light defy the darkness closing in?
