The Blades of Arcane by KingRa2144

In a world ruled by powerful magical families, where strength and status are determined by the mastery of magic and the ferocity of one's aura, King Ignis stands out-though not for reasons he would choose. Born into the illustrious Ignis family, famed for their fiery magic and physical prowess, King was expected to carry the family's legacy forward. But unlike his siblings, King was born without the ability to wield magic, a failure in the eyes of his father, Lord Ignis. But what King lacks in magical ability, he makes up for in swordsmanship, and with the awakening of a dark, forbidden power within him- the Demon Aura-King's journey takes a darker turn. This power, feared and misunderstood, enhances his physical abilities and grants him new, deadly techniques. Yet it comes with a price: a growing hunger for destruction and an insidious whispering in his mind, urging him towards violence. (I'm new to this so give me time)

It is a magical world where the strong rules. But rampant corruption and chaos exist, where slavery, rape, murder, and discrimination against the weak were all but common.
