High Rise Invasion Mayuko

In the Holy Oakhaven Empire, power is dictated by one's alignment with Aether the pristine celestial mana wielded by highborn mages and noble knights. Tristan Vance possesses an Aether alignment score of absolute zero. An orphan raised by a disgraced, disabled vanguard soldier, Tristan is tolerated at the Imperial Knight Academy only as a "Shield Bearer" A glorified cannon fodder meant to absorb spells for noble squires. For three years, Tristan endures systematic humiliation, culminating in a brutal betrayal when his aristocratic rival, Julian Vanguard, leaves him for dead during a staged scouting mission in the monster-infested Ashen Ravine. Bleeding out in the depths of the earth, Tristan’s mortal blood seeps into a buried, primordial ruin, awakening the Primordial Dragon God Bloodline. Instead of drawing from the sky's Aether, Tristan can now absorb the raw, chaotic energy of the earth and command the extinct terrors of the sky. To survive, Tristan must live a double life. By day, he returns to the empire, climbing the ranks of the Royal Knights as a seemingly "ordinary" martial fighter who defies magical logic. By night, he masterminds the liberation of forgotten territories, uncovers the corrupt rot of the Holy See, and raises a hidden legion of dragons. From a humiliated slave-soldier to the master of the skies, Tristan’s path is paved with the shattered reputations of those who looked down on him, ultimately forcing him to unite humans, elves, and dwarves against an oncoming Abyssal Invasion.

Ethan Grey has lived his entire life as nothing. Born without a spiritual root at Skyward Academy — the world's most powerful cultivation institution — he was deemed a hollow, a defect, a boy the heavens forgot to gift. For six years he carried water, scrubbed floors, and watched disciples blaze with qi he would never touch. The Academy didn't even bother to hate him. It simply looked through him. But the night a dying elder presses a jade slip into Ethan's hand and warns him to trust no one — especially not the feared Lord Kael — everything Ethan thought he knew about himself begins to crack. Because Ethan is not hollow. He is empty. And empty, it turns out, is something far more dangerous. Hidden within the jade slip is the Forgotten Sutra — an ancient, erased cultivation method that operates not on elemental qi, but on void: the primordial silence beneath all energy, the space between heartbeats, the darkness before the first flame. It is the original path. The one the powerful buried on purpose. As Ethan awakens abilities no cultivation manual has ever described, he uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than one corrupt academy — a three-thousand-year-old crime committed by the world's greatest sects to keep mortals spiritually chained forever. He was supposed to be nothing. Instead, he may be the only person alive who can burn the whole system down.
