The Weakling

Chapter 1: The Weakling

On the planet of Azura, where magic was a part of everyday life, a young boy named Kael was born with a loud cry and a faint sparkle in his eyes. But, as he grew up, the sparkle began to dim, and his cries turned into whimpers.

Kael was a weakling. He couldn't cast a decent spell to save his life, and his physical strength was laughable. The other kids in the village would tease him mercilessly, calling him names like "Magic-less" and "Feeble Fang."

One day, while trying to fetch water from the village well, Kael got pushed around by the local bully, Gorthok the Unyielding (or so he liked to call himself). Kael's bucket got kicked over, and he ended up with a face full of mud.

As he sat there, crying and covered in mud, a wise old man named Zephyr chuckled and said, "Well, well, well. Looks like someone needs a little help, eh?"

And with that, Zephyr handed Kael a strange-looking cookie and said, "Eat this, kid. It might just change your life."

Kael took a bite, and... well, that's where our story gets interesting!
