A hero candidate that used the rare element lightning magic was betrayed by the those he held dear and the very empire he fought to protect.  Given a second chance at life, he must fight to protect those he holds dear and fight to survive another day.  He would love to live a peaceful life as he grows to become a stronger but will those of the empire allow it?  Thankfully with insight from his past life he has knowledge, experience, and a mage class that puts him above all others.  The biggest advantage he has though is his class and the element he has access too for magic.  Lightning is a strong element being ranked towards the top but could it be possible he has something even better?  And, maybe...just maybe when he is strong enough he will fight to enact some change to the world. How will he achieve this in a world where one wrong look from a noble can mean death for you or your family? When spells and resources are kept by those in power, how will he get stronger? Join him on a journey that will see him traveling the world, meeting different races, and building a class never seen before as heads to the top! (First take on writing something so please be easy on me.  I plan on including different elements I feel will make a good story like leveling, stats boxes, spells, reincarnation, betrayal, and so much more.  I prefer to do some background building while also balancing character development to deliver a good story so be prepared.  I'm planning to write this novel for a long time while also adapting and learning to become better at it.  Feedback will be appreciated and if editing is needed I will do my best.)  Posting Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and possibly Sundays.
