Dark

In the soaring spires of Altheria, magic determines a man’s worth. To be born without it is to be a ghost in a city of gods. Kaelen was a ghost—until the day he tried to die. When Kaelen plunges into the dark waters of the Great River, he doesn't find death. Instead, he awakens a forbidden interface: The Arcane System. This is no ordinary gift of the heavens; it is a cold, clinical accountant of agony. Its rules are simple: mana is for the blessed, but Despair Points (DP) are for the broken. Every bruise from a noble's fist, every insult spat in the mud, and every memory of failure is now a deposit in Kaelen’s account. With his new system, Kaelen can purchase what nature denied him: artificial mana veins, shadow-walking abilities, and the dark secrets of the very Academy that shunned him. But the Arcane System is a demanding master. To maintain his new power, Kaelen must keep the "market" of his misery volatile. He must enter the Academy as an uninvited guest, face the golden boy who tried to break him, and survive the scrutiny of the terrifying Inquisitors. Kaelen spent eighteen years as a victim. Now, he’s an investor. And he’s about to prove that when you have nothing left to lose, you have everything to gain.
