Magicless Mage

In a world where magic is a natural instinct, an extension of the soul, Rei is an anomaly. Born into the prestigious and talented Rei family, he possesses a massive amount of mana, but even then, he could never wield it. Disowned by his family and ridiculed as a talentless laggard by the magic academy, Rei spends his days in a cluttered apartment, desperately studying grimoires and hunting for a breakthrough to achieve his impossible dream: becoming the greatest mage in history.Rei turns to a childhood storybook left behind by his mother. There, he discovers a new story he has no memory of reading: The Curse of a Lonely Dragon. The story details a centuries-old bloodline curse, dictating that every seven generations, a "laggard" will be born, doomed to be rejected by the likes of men with shallow hearts.Realizing the fable mirrors his tragic reality, a spark of closure ignites within him. He starts his journey with nothing but a map of the Seulen Continent, a few books, and his lucky robe. Rei slips away into the dead of night. Whether it is a hopeless whim or a path to salvation, he is determined to track down the mythical dragons and find out the “truth.”
