At sixteen, Relsemia didn’t get a Class, a rank, or a path forward. Everyone else received a future. She received an anomaly. While the rest of her generation fights for rank on the World Stage, Relsemia enters Falantaris Academy with zero recognition, no System guidance, and a Class no record acknowledges. Until she realizes the truth. She isn’t weak. Something is holding her back. Maybe, the traditional and second tier academy of Falantaris has the answer. A place more popular for producing monsters rather then defenders, in an era where realms are clashing with each other to devour every piece of power. Relsemia is entering the game to prove a point: she isn't at the bottom of the rankings, she's the reason the rankings are about to shatter.
