Cedric The Sorcerer

SYNOPSIS: THE KING WHO HAD NO MAGIC In the Kingdom of Aethelgard, magic is not just power—it is life. To be born without "Mana" is to be a "Hollow," a sub-human class destined for the mines. Jack, a brave and tireless commoner, has spent his life training in secret to become the first-ever Hollow Knight, hoping to prove that a man’s worth is in his heart, not his veins. But on the day of his Knighting Ceremony, the truth is a hammer blow. The Grand Vizier, a wicked sorcerer named Malakor, doesn't just reject him—he reveals that Jack’s lack of magic is a "void" that threatens the kingdom’s stability. Cast out into the Death-Mist Forest to be hunted for sport, Jack stumbles upon a sentient, ancient Scarecrow named Silas. Silas is no mere construct; he is the soul of the kingdom’s founder, betrayed by Malakor centuries ago. Together, the boy who has nothing and the king who lost everything must forge a new path. With a unique "Null-Magic" combat style and an army of outcasts, Jack will rise to reclaim a throne that was never meant for him.

Daren Hu's life is simple — school, his mother's noodle shop, the quiet ache of a father who left and never came back. Then one night, a light pours into his sleeping mind, and he wakes up in a world that shouldn't exist: a violet sky, two moons, and a village that wants him gone. He's trapped — pulled from his world into a realm of gods and monsters, summoned by Solenne, Goddess of the Sun, who tells him the truth without softening it: he cannot wake up until his mission is done. The Veil-Lands are dying by inches, worn down by the Demon Lord Mordrach and the horrors he sends across the border. The gods who should defend it are bound by ancient law — forbidden to fight, able only to guide. Unable to bear an heir of her own, Solenne has reached across worlds and chosen Daren instead. Now training under Vasha, a fierce swordswoman, and Lyset, a sharp-eyed sorcerer who senses there's more to him than even the goddess knows, Daren must become something he never asked to be — a weapon, a hope, a son not born but summoned. He didn't choose this war. But it's already choosing him.
