In a world divided by magic and class, society is structured around the power one holds. At the top are the Kings, followed by the Nobles, then the middle class made up of individuals with weak magic yet belonging to renowned clans, and finally the lower class, composed of those with little to no magical ability. Magic isn't just a tool here-it's status, identity, and survival.
Among this hierarchy, there exists a rare phenomenon: dual magic. Individuals born with two types of magic are revered and feared. Known as Celestial Dawns, they are born only into royal families with extremely high mana reserves-or, in unimaginably rare cases, descend from bloodlines that once held dual magic. In such cases, there is a mere 0.001% chance of dual magic reappearing in future generations.
The story opens high on a mist-covered mountain, overlooking a quiet village nestled beside a flowing river. Life in the village is simple but meaningful. Most of the villagers are farmers or wage laborers. Though their magic is weak-or sometimes absent altogether-their hearts are full of resilience, and their lives shaped by struggle and unity.
The villagers find joy in the little things: the laughter of children, the sweat of hard work, and the bonds of community that hold them together. For generations, they've lived humbly, far removed from the politics and power games of the higher classes.
