The Gate Academy.
An academy on an island, east of America, west of Japan. A place for the "Gifted" and "Talented" people of the world.
For the last two years, this academy has been Kane's home. A place where someone, even as strange as him, fits in.
Kane is not like most people, having large claws instead of fingers, fangs instead of teeth. Having the ability to teleport, manipulate physical portals, and as of last year, control mana, a raw form of magic.
Yet still, among a world of Heros and villains, demons and angels, magic and aliens, he still feels strange.
With a new year ahead of him, and his previous memory issues getting worse, Kane sets out to discover what this strange world has for him, and maybe, what it is his mind is trying so hard to forget.
(So, this is like my fifth attempt at one of these gate books. I'm starting with a new fresh take on it, and this time, good or bad, the final result will be the final result, for everyone to see. If by some one in a million chance you have read and/or remember the attempt at a story that came previous this one, you can consider it a prequel.
Also, if you want to see the Gate Academy universe done right, read the companion stories being written by my friends Stonerawks and Vermilion_Rose)
Meet Jack Adler - your typical, hormone-fueled teenager.
That is, until one night under the cover of darkness, she sneaks out to meet her boyfriend. Moments later, everything goes black.
When Jack wakes, her arms are bound behind her back and a blindfold covers her eyes. The last thing she remembers is pushing him away - only she didn't use her hands. Now, she's not even sure if he's still alive.
Jack is taken to The Academy of Mystical Beings, a hidden world where witches, wizards, and magical creatures train to master their powers. There, she must learn to control her own - safely, responsibly, and before they consume her.
But life at the Academy isn't easy. Jack must fight to prove she belongs among the gifted, uncover the truth about what she really is, and face the dark power stirring inside her. Along the way, she'll make friends, unlock hidden strengths, and discover more about herself than she ever imagined.
