“When I grow up, I want to become a Hero!”  Those were the words spoken out of Xia Starseer’s mouth at a young age. No one can blame him. It is what every child dreams of; making a name for themselves in the world of Etos. As Adventurers. As Heroes. However, there is a small problem. Unlike the rest of the world, who were gifted with a remarkable power known as Aura, he is one of the few who lacked any Aura. At least, that’s what he thought.  Despite all the odds stacked against him, Xia made the most infamous decision to enter the world’s prestigious school, which requires applicants to partake in a rigorous Exam that tests their resolve, both physically and mentally. Even after that, the stakes grow higher as Xia is thrusted into the world of adventure, danger, and strife, as he learns of a secret that he must take burden with, one that will someday save the world or bring it to ruin. In some cases, being different has its perks. In truth though, being different can be deadly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Authors Note: Hello, my dear readers. I understand that I've recently gone through a hiatus. Sorry for not upholding my promise earlier and leaving you in the dark. I'm working on rewriting the first five chapters before continuing the story.  This is my first light novel, so obviously it's bound to have a lot of errors. I'd appreciate it if you guys offer me advice for improvement. Hopefully, the rewritten chapters will be more enjoyable in quality and writing.  The synopsis has been updated and refined. I'll be releasing the rewritten chapters soon.  Unfortunately, I don't have a release schedule. (Sorry...) Content Warning: I want to note that I only use Grammarly AI to help with editing and proofreading. Overall, I appreciate your patience, and I hope you guys enjoy it when I release it! - The_Cobalt_Swordsman
