Summary

They wanted a weapon. They're about to regret it. I never asked for magic. Never wanted these shadows that taste lies and hunger for secrets. But when the Arcane Regulatory Commission drafted me into their precious academy, they didn't get another student to shape into a magical soldier. They got something darker. Now I'm at Bastion Sanctum, where reality bleeds at the edges and even the shadows have teeth. My only allies? A chaos magician who treats explosions like art, a tech genius who breaks physics for fun, a secret princess hiding world-shattering power, and my own growing darkness. The academy thinks they can control me. Break me. Turn me into their perfect weapon. But my shadows taste copper and conspiracy, ancient magic and royal blood. There's something rotten at the heart of Bastion Sanctum – something that connects the mysterious void hunters, the quantum storms, and the princess whose power feels like looking into a dark mirror. They wanted a weapon. I'll show them why that was their second mistake. Their first was assuming I'd play by their rules.

lblomme: I always love a story where good overcomes evil. The sad start, the growth, and ultimate strength of the main character was well done. The story never lagged and ultimately delivered a happy ending even for characters who were less than stellar. Well done!

Silver's Second Chanceby CosmicChaos

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
