A young teen, Michael, has lost his family, friends, and home in an incident that has changed his life forever. Despite his lingering trauma, with the help of his mentor and childhood friend, Michael is given a new start at Lyre Magic Academy. Meeting new friends, competing with rivals, and exploring his talents, Michaels learns once again how to connect with those around him. This story starts 368 years after Earth's surface has been ravaged by the elements of outer space, where humanity has retreated into the colossal dome cities miraculously created amidst the chaos. For just about three decades, magic has been introduced as a scientific concept, allowing mankind to live in a highly technological yet unstable society, lying at a crossroads between a utopia of peace, and a cornered race awaiting its destruction. Soon, Michael and his allies will take their first step down the final chapter of this civilization, trying to find their place amongst the mayhem, and as if in tandem with their introduction, strange forces have begun emerging from the shadows. Author Note: Hi guys! This is Zodiackl, the author of this series. I'm an amateur fiction writer who writes as a hobby, and this is my first story. I've had the concept for this series for a while and am very excited to get it out there. Although I am posting as I go, this is more of a story project rather than a full fledged novel. Think of it as a beta version. As I write it, I post it for feedback or simply just for people to enjoy it, and as I get feedback or insights on how it can be better, I'll go back in to improve it and repost it. As such, I would greatly appreciate anything you guys have to say or add, even if it's as small as a minor error or suggestion, or even a passing comment on how interesting you found it or what it reminds you of. However you approach this novel, I'm very happy to have you here!
