In a world of cultivators and magic, Pirin will rise and become a legend. As a wizard-king from a powerful, ancient bloodline, Pirin should’ve had every advantage in life, but he is an Embercore—a magical cripple. His arcane techniques and mind-altering bloodline abilities are more likely to blow up in his face than work properly. His core will never burn, and he’ll always be a step behind.  But unstable magic can be the most devastating if used just right. Crawling back from the edge of death, he vows to forge his own path and prove himself. To venture into foreign lands and push his abilities beyond what anyone thinks is possible. To exploit the absolute limits of his unstable magic.  The pursuit of magic is a deadly game, and his entire kingdom is on the line. The higher he climbs, the more powerful his enemies grow. If he can’t find a way to turn his broken magic to his advantage, he won’t be the only one who loses this rigged game. He’ll show the world the true power of an Embercore. What to expect: - Weak to strong progression - Cultivation-based progression - Memory and mind magic - Animal companions - A western fantasy world - Determined and persevering characters - Grit, growth, and satisfying victories
