Aetherion-Between Existence and Void [A Magic Academy Progression Fantasy]

Three friends entering the Academy. One glitching reality. And a desperate thirst for power that will tear them apart. For Yuto, Kiriha, and Kuroshiro, the world has always felt like an error. They are outcasts in a modern urban society where magic is everything, yet reality itself seems to quietly reject them. To find their place and unlock their potential, they enroll in the prestigious Magic Academy—hoping to master the complex forces of spellcraft. But the closer their bond becomes, the more reality begins to fracture. Memories flicker, and the very architecture of the Academy subtly shifts. Deep beneath the neon lights of the city lies Aetherion—the forgotten junction where absolute Existence meets the endless Void. As forces from that primordial age begin to stir, the boys face a brutal truth: in a world where only the powerful rule, they are dangerously weak. To survive the fierce competition of the Academy, they must grow stronger. But the path to magical mastery is treacherous. While some will learn to play by the rules, one of them will realize that the only way to gain true power... is to break them. Driven by desperation, a brother will become an enemy, and the ultimate rival might just come from within.
