Impossible power awakens in grief's shadow
About
The Evaluation Hall falls deathly silent as golden U-runes spiral above your head - a rank no student has ever achieved. The crystal orb lies shattered at your feet, fragments glowing with residual magic you don't understand. Every eye in the hall locks onto you. Whispers ripple through the crowd of nobles and prodigies who've trained their entire lives for this moment. You feel it now - something vast and ancient stirring beneath your skin, a gift you never asked for. The examiner's hands tremble as she records your classification. An SSS-class student with silver hair steps forward, eyes burning with challenge and something darker. This power came at a price. Your parents gave everything to save you, pouring their final breath into a prayer the gods answered. You carry their strength now, but you don't know how to wield it - or what enemies might come seeking the child they died to protect.
