Summary
My father stopped pacing, stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes. “You don’t know what you feel. You’re just a kid.”
Maybe that was true. But I knew one thing: staying here meant dying slowly, again and again. Without another word, I grabbed my coat, slung the guitar over my shoulder, and walked out the front door. I could hear my father shouting after me, my mother’s voice soft and pleading, but I didn’t care. I needed an escape.
The night air hit me like a shock. It was late, and the neighborhood was quiet, streetlights buzzing with that electric hum. I ran until the rows of identical houses blurred behind me, until the neat sidewalks gave way to cracked pavement. My chest burned, my legs ached, but I didn’t stop until the glow of the city spread out before me, buzzing with promise and danger all at once.

Born in the slums of Lunareth, you never expected much from life. Magic was for the rich and powerful—the ones who ruled everything. People like you weren’t meant to have a future. That was just the way things were.
Until a letter arrives from The Astrelian Academy of Sorcery—the most elite magic school in the nation. You were never meant to hold real power, yet you command magic no one has ever seen. Three schools of magic obey you, even forbidden Necromancy. It’s a gift—and a curse.
Jeon Jungkook, heir to the most powerful family and the only other student with three affinities, hates you instantly. A girl from the slums with power like his? Impossible. He wants you gone—yet he can’t ignore you. His best friend, Kim Taehyung, is different. Warm, loyal, and hiding secrets that could change everything.
And deep in Astrelia’s halls, something dark is waking. Students vanish. Nobody turns an eye and you and Jungkook might be the only ones who uncover the secrets.
In a world where power defines your worth, where love and hatred blur into one, and where the forbidden whispers your name—will you rise, or will they destroy you before you get the chance?
