The Sun never sleeps

On the floating island of Aurelion, magic is tightly regulated. Cities survive behind ancient barriers, mana beasts roam beyond them, and those who grow too powerful are exiled “for the greater good.” Eryx Aerlyn was born into a noble family stripped of everything—status, wealth, and magic. Cast out and forgotten, he survives on the fringes of society until a moment of despair awakens a forbidden ability: the power to copy and store anything he touches. As Eryx grows stronger in secret, he uncovers the truth behind the barriers themselves—and learns that power in this world is never free. A slow-burn progression fantasy with no system, where growth is deliberate and consequences matter.
