The world shattered a thousand years ago. Monsters called Voids destroyed everything. Survivors became Aethers, humans with glowing sigils and impossible powers. Ren has no sigil. No power. Just a mind too sharp for a body too fragile. When bullies beat him within an inch of his life, something awakens inside him. The Insight Engine. It does not make him stronger. It makes him faster. Smarter. More efficient. It gives him blueprints he cannot yet execute and knowledge he does not fully understand. Now Ren is climbing the ranks at Aetheris Academy, facing enemies who can crush him with a single hit. His little brother is waiting at home. He cannot afford to lose. The Voids are changing. And someone in a white mask is making them worse. He does not need to be the strongest. Just fast enough.
