Mana apocalypse book one becoming mages

Magic comes at a price, these words appear often in fiction. When that price is sixty precent of the worlds population

dead, and thrithy precent barley able to move, what are the remaining ten precent to do? At first these people have no

idea that magic exists, but once discovered, do they uses it to help, or hurt others? Only time can decide of the actions,

which these newly born mages will take.
