The Leviathan System
Silas Blackwood was born different. In a world where magic is everything, he couldn't produce mana - the lifeblood of magical power. Kids can be cruel, and Silas learned that the hard way growing up.
But his mom, Evelyn Winterbourne, she's no ordinary woman. A brilliant scientist from Earth, she created something revolutionary - a magitech device that became part of Silas. The Leviathan System, they called it. It gave Silas access to magic he'd never dreamed of - Neuromancy, Biomancy, Essomancy. But power always comes at a price, doesn't it? The system was changing him, bit by bit, into something... else.
Against all odds, Silas got into Arcanium University. Talk about a shark tank. Cut-throat competition doesn't begin to cover it. And with war looming on the horizon - the magical society of Eldoria gearing up to face the ancient Fae - the pressure was on.
Silas wasn't alone, though. He found his people - other misfits and outcasts who didn't quite fit the mold. Together, they faced it all: the grueling magical training, hunting beasts that'd give you nightmares, and dungeons that'd make Indiana Jones think twice.
As Silas got stronger, things got... complicated. Dark secrets started coming to light - about the university, the war, even Silas himself. And all the while, that burning desire to free his mom and figure out what the hell the Leviathan System really was kept pushing him forward.
Every new power Silas gained brought him closer to his goals. But it also pulled him further from who he used to be. He was changing, and not just on the outside. The deeper he dug into forbidden magic and age-old conspiracies, the more Silas had to ask himself some hard questions. Who was he becoming? What was he willing to do - or give up - to get what he wanted?
With war on the doorstep and his own body and mind in flux, Silas found himself smack in the middle of a conflict that could turn the magical world on its head. Caught between powerful factions, ancient forces, and his own changing nature, Silas had to decide what really mattered. In the end, what would he sacrifice for answers, for justice, for a place to call home?
