Prodigy

In a modern world draped in the illusion of normalcy, secrets crawl beneath the surface. Cities bustle with unaware citizens, blind to the existence of the gifted, warriors, healers, mages, and monster hunters, born to protect a fragile balance between reality and chaos. Among them lies one boy, invisible to destiny… until destiny calls his name. Ridiculed, discarded, and cast aside, 17-year-old Kael Ardyn is a nobody with no spark of magic or strength. But when he saves an old beggar from thugs, Kael is taken in by the man, who reveals himself to be a forgotten legend of the ancient world. Under his brutal mentorship, Kael is reshaped, body and soul, into something the world has never seen: a martial-arts prodigy with forbidden medical mastery. As monsters tear through cities, noble families scheme, and powerful organizations hunt the reborn legend, Kael finds himself at the center of a hidden war, a war he might just be born to end. But power comes with a price. Can he uncover his true lineage before it consumes him? Or is he merely a pawn in a game older than time?

"I was born a God, but my father turned me into a battery." In the Divine Spear Empire, power is everything, and Lucius Thorne was the pinnacle—until the Blood Moon Eclipse. On his eighteenth birthday, the day of his Ascension, Lucius is betrayed. His father, the Emperor, executes a forbidden "Grafting Rite," ripping Lucius’s Divine Core from his chest to empower his younger, more "malleable" brother, Julian. Left for dead in the Abyssal Rift—a place where even light dies—Lucius discovers that his core wasn't just a source of power; it was a seal. Without it, the Void Eater within him awakens. Rescued by Valeriana, a fallen War-Maiden from a forgotten era, Lucius begins a cold, calculated climb back to the surface. He doesn't just want his core back; he wants to witness the empire burn. Core Trope: Rejected Prodigy / Revenge / Hidden Overlord The Twist: The "stolen power" was actually keeping a world-ending curse in check; by stealing it, the villains have doomed themselves, and only the "powerless" Lucius can survive the coming darkness.

Ten years ago, Kael Draven was the pride of his family and the brightest genius in Emberfall Town. At just eight years old, he had already climbed to heights other cultivators only dreamed of. Everyone said he was destined for greatness. But one failed breakthrough shattered his future. His cultivation collapsed, his talent vanished, and the boy once hailed as a prodigy became the family’s greatest disgrace. Branded a waste, mocked and beaten by his own kin, Kael endured a decade of humiliation with nothing to show for it. Everything changes the night he discovers a strange black seal hidden in the Elderstone Hall. When his blood awakens the Dragon Seal, a shadow of a dragon roars to life, and the truth is revealed—Kael carries the Desolate Sacred Body, a physique both feared and revered. Cursed to demand endless energy yet blessed with limitless potential, it is both his greatest weakness and his greatest weapon. With the Nine Cycles of Samsara carved into his soul and the Dragon Seal at his side, Kael’s path begins anew. The family that scorned him will learn fear. The rivals who mocked him will kneel. And the world will remember the name they once spat on. He is no longer trash. He is the War Dragon.

In a world where magic is measured, controlled, and bound to the very essence of life, Lucas awakens in a body that is not his own. Transplanted into the life of a prodigious mage, he must navigate the elite halls of Eldoria Academy, where every spell is a test, and every friend may conceal a secret. Under the watchful guidance of Elera, his childhood friend and a prodigy in her own right, Lucas begins to unravel the mysteries of Aether, the lifeblood of magic itself. Yet the deeper he delves into its secrets the tiers, the cores, and the forces that shape reality the heavier the responsibility grows. Beyond the academy, threads of intrigue tighten. Mira, a brilliant researcher, has crossed the line between discovery and danger, and the shadowy figures who orchestrated her disappearance are watching. Among them, the truth of Lucas’s existence is known, and their plans threaten to upend everything he believes about himself. As allies clash, secrets unravel, and the weight of Aether presses down, Lucas must confront a question no mage has ever faced: can a soul borrowed from another world wield power without losing itself? This is a tale of magic, identity, and the fragile line between destiny and choice.

Among them a boy with sharp eyes and untamed hair, no older than sixteen. Lin Dong. Whispers rise around him. “The failure of the Lin family…” “His father lost everything to Lin Langtian.” But Lin Dong says nothing. His jaw tightens, his fists curl. “I’ll make them remember my name.” The gong strikes. The test begins. One by one, disciples unleash their Yuan Power, glowing faintly with light. When Lin Dong steps forward silence. He places his palm on the stone pillar. Nothing. No glow. No tremor. Just cold stone. Laughter ripples through the crowd. Lin Langtian, his older cousin, smirks from afar already a martial prodigy, already chosen by the clan elders. But Lin Dong’s eyes don’t lower. There’s something burning behind them something feral. That night, he runs into the mountains, fists bleeding, shouting into the dark. “If the heavens won’t give me power, I’ll take it myself!” Lightning flashes and the earth trembles. From beneath the ancient roots, a strange stone talisman rises glowing with ancient runes. The air hums, trees bow, and the mountain itself seems to breathe. Lin Dong stares at it, breathless. The talisman pulses once… twice… then melts into his palm. His eyes widen his veins blaze with golden light. And somewhere, deep within the realm of spirits… something wakes up. “Finally… someone worthy.”
