The full story

Chapter 1: The First Step

Chapter 1 opens in a poor riverside town beneath a distant magic academy, where Shirone can no longer ignore the storm gathering on the horizon. What begins as a quiet morning turns tense the moment word arrives that a rival has moved against them in the dark.

Shirone leans on a mind that simply refuses to stop growing, and for the first time the true scale of that edge becomes clear. Those who once dismissed Shirone as ordinary are forced to reconsider — strength like this does not appear by accident, and everyone can feel that the balance has shifted.

Standing in the way is the gifted elites who inherited everything he has to earn, whose grip has only tightened. Their clash is less about brute force and more about wills: two sides that understand exactly what the other is willing to sacrifice. By the final page a line has been drawn that cannot be uncrossed.
