Death, Devotion, Dissonance

Death, Devotion, Dissonance describes the story of Evin, a boy who learns he’s a mage in his 10th birthday. Finally, he could get rid of the Voice stuck in his head. After ten years of being thought as a lunatic by everyone around him, finally, he could be free of it. After all, mages are said to be able to do anything, right? A little Voice in his head shouldn’t be too hard to handle. However, things do not go as Evin planned. Turns out, the Voice in his head allows him to cast magic in a way accessible to only nobility of the kingdom. This new revelation puts Evin in the spotlight, as many people become curious as to why a commoner knows such things… Everyone seems to suddenly want something from him. Circumstances force Evin to trust the Voice in his head and listen to its advice, as he suddenly realizes that it’s the only ally he has inside the Academy. How will the relationship between these two develop? Will Evin be able to separate from the Voice or will he have to keep relying on it? What is the Voice and what is its purpose in the first place? ----- Author's notes: Ummm, If you want something light and fun, the novel's probably not for you. That doesn't mean it's hard to read, though. I, personally, do not believe in labyrinthine descriptions and over-convoluted terminologies. You'll know exactly what you're reading about and won't need to waste braincells trying to understand my sentences (unless I wanna pull a sneaky on ya and intentionally make things confusing). But thematically, the story's gonna be quite dark and heavy, especially in the earlier chaps. I do promise you'll be rewarded for it all later with satisfying characters and conclusions to plots, and I hope you can join me in this journey. Thank you for checking the novel out. uwuwu.

He expected the construct to shoot the icicles as soon as it created them and all of them at once, but Evin only heard the impact of one icicle hitting the pillar. 

<Should we attack it back seriously or do you want to try new things?> Evin asked.

<Go run circles around it. I wanna try something,> came the reply. <That icicle was much slower than what it could've been… I think it's going easy on us.>

Evin was a bit confused by the reply, but he still did as it ordered. But as he ran around the construct, Evin too, could see the weird behavior it was exhibiting. Even if it had the chance to shoot all its icicles for the greatest chance of succeeding, it only shot one icicle at a time, and it even seemed to wait a set amount of time between each shot. Not only that, their speed was a lot slower than any spell Evin saw before, and even then, the icicles looked dull and harmless.
