Henry Stormlight sat in the old science spell room of Capricorn Practicing Mages Academy.Most students didn't even bother to learn his name. To them, he was simply a jerk or a waste of space.He wore a dark grey robe that seemed to swallow his frame. His messy dark brown hair framed a face with unique grey eyes and thick eyebrows, while countless sleepless nights had left dark circles beneath his eyes.He had spent almost a year at this elite magic university, but while his peers were manifesting complex enchantments, Henry could not learn a single spell. For reasons no one could explain, every incantation he uttered failed to light even a match.He steadied his breath, his eyes shut tightly as he reached for the spark of magic. Stretching out his hands, he whispered the words for a basic fireball, but only a thin wisp of grey smoke rose from his palms.Another failure, as always.He gnashed his teeth and pressed both hands against his forehead as the familiar bitterness of another f

A crisp, angelic voice rebounded through the plane, and a being of pure light appeared before him."Who are you?" Henry demanded."Let’s say I had something to do with you not having a magic affinity. That is why I’m here," the being answered lightly.Henry’s eyes widened.A sudden, violent rage filled him. He lunged at the being, swinging his fists, but they passed through the light like mist. He attacked again and again until he was exhausted, screaming at the void."I have watched many mages," the being spoke, its voice sounding like a thousand chimes. "Most surrender after a few failures. You failed ninety-nine times and were still prepared to try again. Even after I sealed your magic affinity, you kept banging your head against a door that could never open.""You sealed it?" Henry’s voice dropped for a moment before his rage exploded again. "You ruined my life just to watch what I would do?"He charged at the being again, only to pass through its body and crash onto the ground."

He was stunned. An A-Tier was unheard of for a student, but the "Endless Evolution" tag was something out of legend. It meant his power had no limits and there was no end to his growth. He wasn’t just the Origin God by name; his power was finally returning.A new sense of confidence swelled in Henry’s chest. He had the chance he had always asked for and the power to become anything he had ever wanted.Unknown to him, the Magic Affinity Stone was linked to the school’s central network. In the highest tower of the academy, a red light began flashing on the Dean’s desk.Dean Silas, a man who had seen thousands of mages come and go, dropped his pen as he read the decrypted result sent from the laboratory. There was no name attached, but the information was undeniable.His eyes nearly popped from their sockets at what was displayed before him.Someone else would have passed it off as a mistake, but he knew more than anyone that the Affinity Stone could not make one.The stone read directly

Divia’s face remained pale. His gaze moved across the beasts lying around the clearing before returning to Henry, who stood just ahead of him with only a little sweat beading his skin. His chest rose and fell, but there was not even the slightest sign of an injury on his body.Confusion and shock ran through every student gathered in the clearing as they struggled to understand the sight before them.Defeating even one of those beasts would have required some of the academy’s strongest students. Defeating that many should have required several tutors or even a Grandmaster.Yet Henry stood among their bodies as though he had merely taken a walk through the forest.“You expect us to believe you did all this?” Divia asked.Henry looked at the beasts surrounding them. “Did you see anyone else when you arrived?”“That does not answer my question.”“I never intended to answer it.” Henry replied flatly. One of the students behind Divia stepped forward and examined the nearest Razor-Boar.“
