Starmark: A Mundane Girl's Mage Odyssey[English]

Synopsis: In a late-night convenience store, Lin Yin’s world fractured. A mass of light-absorbing black sludge, rippling with a thousand human visages, crawled from the warehouse shadows. When the golden-haired girl who saved her was being strangled, the heavy sword—a forty-seven-kilogram slab of burning steel—lay at Lin Yin's feet. She didn’t know how she lifted it. She only knew that in that desperate heartbeat, the Star-mark on her wrist ignited. "You can wield my blade. There is mana flowing within you." Beyond the grime of the city lies a magic academy hidden in the cracks of reality—a place for those who trust their lives to the shadows at their backs and the eternal starmap above. But Lin Yin’s path is anything but glorious. Her magic aptitude test results come back as a nightmare: Elemental Resonance: Minimal. Classification: Uncategorized. "Your mana is alive," the instructors say, "but it’s lost. It doesn't know the way." In a world of rigid structures and perfect affinities, Lin Yin has only one choice. If the magic doesn't know the path, she will carve one herself.
