Fyn, a massive fan of Earth's protectors - The Sentinels - decided a little thing like talent wouldn't stop him from joining their ranks. Unfortunately, without the required natural abilities, he has to do things the hard way. A way that leads him down an unravelling path of far-reaching conspiracy, looming calamities and cursed abilities.  And this rocky path has but one starting point. Valince Academy, a sprawling military construct found in the centre of the Aegis. A place with billions of students, of which, only one in ten graduate. A true cauldron of talent, sweat, blood and death. Unfortunately, Valince Academy does not accept people of Fyn's age or talent. So, in order to worm his way in, Fyn has to get creative. Very, Creative. *** The world-building will lean more in the Sci-Fi direction, while the power system and progression aspects of this story will be firmly rooted in cultivation.
