Darking

Ryuu entered the International Academy of Magic carrying a promise he could never fulfill. In a world ruled by bloodlines, mantles, and ancient power, everyone is taught where they belong. He does not. Branded as a failure and trapped among students born to rule, Ryuu struggles to survive inside an institution where status matters more than talent, and weakness is never forgiven. But beneath the history taught within the academy lies something older. Something buried. As political tensions rise between kingdoms and forbidden truths begin to surface, Ryuu starts to realize that the world’s greatest danger may not be magic itself… …but the lies built around it.
