Description
Mal is a figure of myth and legend - he just doesn't know it yet.
Right now, he is just a teenager trying to figure out his way in the world. Unfortunately for him, the world is still reeling from the revelation that magic exists, along with all the strange things that come with it. To make matters worse, Mal is one of those things. He is half Eten, part of the group of people who brought magic to the forefront of the world, devastating part of it in the process. Finding his place in these turbulent times is going to be harder than it should be.
But Mal will push through it all. He wants to study magic. He wants to be great. He just hopes he doesn't make too many mistakes along the way.
This will be a story that takes its time. Chapters are long and will come out only once or twice per week at most. Things will take time to develop, instant gratification and fast resolutions aren't going to be a feature here.
Regarding the tags: Because the story will take it's time to develop, not all the tags will be present right away. Others will become more prevalent as the story continues. LitRPG elements, for instance, will be there from fairly early on, but won't have a significant impact on the story until later.
Finally, Mal is a teenager. He isn't always right, and he isn't always in the right. He's going to make mistakes and poor decisions just like anyone else. Try not to hate him for it.

- Magicperson1Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0A story that has character drama without feeling forced. They managed to get me invested and care about what happens to the MC within the first couple of chapters. I just hope they don't go too hard on the space elf racism, but besides that it really fun so far.
- PotassiumRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This fiction is still in the beginning, but some things are already clear. The grammar is excellent, the prose flows very well, the MC is an interesting one for us to follow and he has the common affliction of being interested and wanting to be awesome in something that perhaps he does not a have a gift on. I will continue to follow this fiction with interest.
- SettingsMenuRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Really solid start, with strong world building. I like most of the characters and am enjoying seeing Mal progress. I really like Eten culture, and I am enjoying learning more about it as we go. Really looking forward to more chapters. One of the better original worlds I have read recently.
