Sunless: Tale of a Failed Royal

Magic defines everything. Status. Power. And Worth That's what everyone believes deep inside, even if they never truly admit it to themselves. Even so, they fall back on it when they inevitably fail so they can blame and perpetuate that status quo. None believe this more than the royals, and none of them more than Riven. As a wielder of the “Ancestral Flame” — a powerful force comparable to a world-ending calamity always simmering at his fingertips — He flaunted his superiority over everyone, often to the detriment of others.  His life went off-track when Ryuji appeared. an unnaturally strong transfer student who came to his school. After losing his first fight, he lost the respect of his peers. Following constant defeats and rejections, he was faced with the uncomfortable truth that maybe he isn’t as preeminent as he wanted others to perceive him. With the trial of an unknown spirit sealed inside of him in the wake of a rather brutal defeat that led to a terrible tragedy by his own hands. He was cursed with a shell of his former abilities along with the detachment of himself. To find the ones responsible, he must master this new magic to do what his heart can still burn for. Revenge at any cost.
