Broken Hero: Corrupted By Blood

They placed Kael Arkin at the bottom. Threadless. Bloodless. Nothing. No sigil, no legacy, no chance. In a world where magic is carved from blood and power determines worth, Kael was meant to fade — a ghost among heirs, a failure beneath prodigies. The only reason he’s still here? A name in a ledger… and a Magister who doesn’t believe in mistakes. But something is wrong beneath the surface of the Sanctum. Something ancient. Hungry. Watching. Kael starts young. Fragile, even. You’ll wonder why he’s the main character. Push through. Because the boy they buried at the bottom? He learns. He adapts. And eventually… he breaks. What rises after won’t be human. It’ll be worse.
