Heir of Lightening
In a realm where gods play dice with mortal souls, a cursed boy refuses his fate.
Born with a tempered body blessed by the heavens, Kirin Arcanus should’ve been a legend. Instead, he became an outcast, cursed, shunned, and exiled from the very clan that should’ve raised him as their heir. The demon that killed his parents didn’t vanish... it slumbered inside him, waiting.
Powerless. Mocked. Weak. Kirin claws his way through life with nothing but grit, will, and the whisper of an ancient, forbidden path to strength. When he’s finally granted a second chance at cultivation, it comes at a brutal cost, awakening something dark, something hungry.
Inside the hallowed walls of the Academy, friends become enemies. Trust is currency. And betrayal? That’s the tuition fee. His closest companion, Seth, hides a twisted purpose. His allies? Torn between love, legacy, and lies.
As realms collide, bloodlines unravel, and demonic whispers grow louder, Kayden must choose, become the hero they never saw coming… or embrace the chaos he was born to unleash.
He didn’t ask to be a weapon. But he sure as hell is going to use it.

Chapter: Chapter 6. Fluxxara. Kirin lay flat on the ground, looked up at the sky seeing the clouds disperse, he felt the wind against his body and knew for a fact that he was entirely naked."Shit"He had also found another eerie fact, he seemed to have total immunity to lightning. This was something he had never heard of nor had he expected it. Anyone could be attacked by any element, even the one that you were primarily trained up in as the base for your cultivation. He had never heard of a case where one had total and complete immunity to an element.Yet here he was, completely unscathed by the attack that came from the heavens, he smiled at himself as he covered his eyes with his right arm, the tears swelled up but he pushed them down. He had survived, he escaped death.Kirin heard footsteps walking towards him and turned to see who it was. Tharros looked at Kirin, his jaw slack, eyes wide with surprise."By the gods, boy you actually survived that?" Tharros asked genuinely surprised. He had never met a sing

Chapter: Chapter 5. Will of Fire. "Heal the boy and take him away" Tharros shouted commands at some of the men, they were still too stunned to speak but Kirin dragged himself up, staggered for a moment with blood dripping from his nose."I'm good sir", he forced himself to say, but Tharros had already left, locked in battle with the thing that was once Greg but wasn't him anymore. Kirin struggled to get himself to his feet, he wondered why nobody had come to his aide.'Do they really not care about me that much', he thought to himself as he dug up an elixir from his bag, finishing the entire potion in one go. After a few subtle moments, he got back to himself, his wounds were healed.He turned around feeling refreshed only to see the reason why no one had come to him, the other ten men were surrounded. By men with blackened eyes, they seemed like normal men, except, they were exactly like Greg.Kirin immediately drew his saber, falling into Blood stance which he had mastered for years on end, this was his first real e

Chapter: Chapter 4. Fools Death. "You sure you want to come along today with us, I mean, it's your first time Kirin," Seth whispered to Kirin who walked beside him. Kirin seemed different, more confident, something that Seth had always found amiss in his dear friend."Something happened with Grand Zenin right?" Seth asked, Kirin simply smiled at his dear friend."I wouldn't be here if something didn't happen you know," his puffed, eyes brimming with confidence. Seth seemed confused but also increasingly curious."So tell me, did you finally break through and heal that unknown sickness of yours?" He said in a hushed tone, other warriors looked towards them for being so chatty, and also because of the outcast.Kirin wasn't supposed to be here, they saw him as a liability, a risk, but no one could say anything about him. After all, it was The Grandmaster who had approved him being on this mission, it was a covert mission, to investigate and report back."First off I'm not sick, and no I didn't heal it or whatever, but I

Chapter: Chapter 3. Lost Technique. Sitting in a dark room, dripping with sweat and little lacerations surrounding his entire body, Kirin sat cross-legged focused in deep concentration, he gritted his teeth stubbornly trying his best to control the upsurge of energy within him.A sudden bolt of lightning materialized from him, shooting out randomly in the room. The spot where the lightning struck remained blackened and burned, unable to persist even further Kirin finally gave up completely exhausted.He crumpled down on the floor, his torso facing upwards towards the ceiling, sweat falling to the wooden floorboards while his chest heaved in and out.He stretched out his right hand upwards looking at it with determination, he had finally broken through and had become a second-rate martial artist, he clenched his fingers. Grand Zenin had given him one more chance at cultivation, although he had nearly died trying to achieve it. He thought he had died and got revived again by the ominous power, but something still felt wr

Chapter: Chapter 2. Heavens Will. Kirin slowly approached the pavilion of the Thunder Clan, he walked slowly through the thicket of snow, still reeling from the effects of the frostbite that had eventually gotten to his fingers, he would've given anything up for a hot cup of wine.Seth stood in front of him leading the way, they walked into the Pavilion, heading towards the pagoda looming ahead in the distance, the snow fell more lightly here but that didn't mean it got any warmer.Eventually, they stood in front of the doors to the pagoda, the guards opened the doors for them to enter, all the while they kept their eyes on Kirin, unfortunately, he couldn't be more bothered, after all, he was the misfit of the clan.Inside, an elderly man sat cross-legged sipping tea and seemed unperturbed by their sudden arrival, his hair was long and white from old age with wrinkles etched over his face, he looked to be beyond hundred if using the mundane human years of counting, but underneath his garment was a well-toned body that

Chapter: Chapter 1. The Scholar. Kirin sat on top of a rock outcrop, looking far into the distance, he was clad in a thick supple fur coat dyed black, hand gloves thicker than dough to keep the frost off his fingers, metal laced boots that swung freely in the air from where he sat.His entire outfit contrasted the snowy white mountains, still lost in thought about why he had bothered coming all the way here when he could have drank some hot wine while cultivating, his growth had been stumped for months, years actually and it kept nagging him that his fellow clan mates had left him behind, gaining more strength.But here he was, in the mountains, looking for sapphire gems, these gems were higher in purity and soul essence than a regular soul stone and he knew why he had been sent out to get them. Because his level was so low, they couldn't think of anything better than him going to find soul stones."Damnation" he cursed at himself, he didn't hear the light footsteps that slowly approached him."Cursing again, are you
