The Eye of Ascension: Evolution of the Purple-Eyed Mage

Arthur Marshall was born to be irrelevant. As the unwanted third son of House Marshall, he is mocked by his family, ignored by the nobility, and dismissed as talentless in a world where power determines everything. But while others study magic, Arthur studies the laws behind it. After awakening a mysterious anomaly connected to the Seventh Universe, Arthur gains the Eye of Ascension—a forbidden ability capable of analyzing mana, exposing weaknesses, and unraveling the hidden structure of reality itself. To others, magic is an art. To Arthur, it is a system waiting to be dissected. By hiding his true talent behind the mask of a weak noble heir, Arthur begins climbing through the shadows of a world ruled by Mage Associations, ancient Churches, noble factions, and horrors buried beneath forgotten ruins. But knowledge has a price. The more Arthur sees, the more he realizes the world itself is incomplete—and something beyond it is watching. If the truth of his existence is discovered, he won’t become a hero. He’ll become a threat that the entire world will try to erase.
