In the rain-drenched slums of a prosperous kingdom, an eighteen-year-old boy lives a life of quiet desperation, struggling to support his ailing family through grueling labor and a dying garden. The stagnant peace of the continent is shattered when a high-ranking noble's caravan crashes into the heart of the slums, bringing the boy face-to-face with the terrifying and majestic power of those at the top. After a chance encounter with a legendary commander, the boy finds himself in possession of a pulsing, humming crystal-a source of immense power that is both a beacon of hope and a mark of death. When a vengeful antagonist returns to reclaim what they believe is theirs, the boy is forced to make a harrowing choice: remain a victim of a cruel caste system, or seize a destiny that will cost him everything he has ever known. Will the stone be his salvation, or will its power ruin his life? P.s: I will be posting this story on Royal Road.
