Conscript’s Awakening

Warrick was a farmer. Then the conscription officers arrived, and he became cannon fodder.

For years, the kingdom has maintained a tenuous stalemate with the Portals, violent tears in reality that spew nightmare beasts upon the land. Commoners die holding the line while the magical elite, the Resonants, live in comfort behind high walls. That’s the system. That’s always been the system.

But at the Mandatory Awakening Trial, the testing crystal didn’t register Warrick as powerless. It shattered.

Warrick hadn’t failed the awakening. His power had absorbed it. He possesses something the Resonants have never encountered, the ability to devour and unravel magic itself. A power that can’t be measured, classified, or safely ignored.
