The Knight of modern times

Twenty years after the Cataclysm, dimensional portals continue to tear open across the world, unleashing monsters upon humanity. To survive, mankind adapted. Those blessed by the Cataclysm became Hunters—individuals gifted with supernatural power. Some awakened as Mages, wielders of arcane and elemental destruction, revered by society and treated as the elite. Others became Aura Users, warriors who strengthened their bodies and stood at the front lines. But in reality, only one side truly matters. While mages live in comfort and glory, aura users are little more than expendable shields—fodder meant to bleed for someone else’s fame. James has lived his entire life at the bottom of that system. A low-ranked aura user burdened by debt and the responsibility of raising his younger brother, he risks his life in portal raids just to survive. Everything changes when a routine D-rank raid turns into a deadly anomaly. On that fateful day, standing at the edge of death, James awakens a mysterious power—one that defies the very foundation of the world’s power system. A power born from something long forgotten. Now faced with a choice, James must decide— Will he cling to survival and live a safe, insignificant life… Or bear the weight of this power and rise beyond the limits imposed on him? In a world that has abandoned honor and turned warriors into tools, Can a single man become what this era had never expeced to see— A Knight?
