The Great Pretender

Finn was born into a merchant family and had lived all of his life being prepared to take over the family business. That changed when he was tested and determined to have suitable talent for cultivation. Now he's joined an academy for that purpose and he'll try his best to rise to the top and gain recognition. His only problem is that he's aggressively average. His only saving grace is that he has a special ability that he's had from birth, feeling people's emotions. It's unknown how that will help him rise up the ranks, but he's determined to make something of himself yet.

Finn starts out as a young man looking for power but his adventure's will involve a lot more than superpowered humans.
