Synopsis
In a world where one in four are born with supernatural abilities called Nexas, power decides everything—and heroes rule society. At Lionel Academy, the strongest hero school in the nation, every student possesses a powerful Nexas… except one. Raze Arcwell, heir of a legendary wealthy family, was born completely Nexasless. Mocked by the world, doubted by everyone, he still enters the academy with an impossible goal: “Even without a Nexas… I will rise.” Among prodigies, monsters, and future legends, Raze fights to prove that true strength isn’t gifted—it’s earned. And when a mysterious villain threatens the nation, the powerless boy may become the hero no one expected. This is the story of Raze Arcwell—the boy who will surpass power itself.

Chapter 1 - A World that was not meant for him...

**A World Not Meant for Him**

Fraxen.

A world where cities shine brighter than the stars above them…and where the gifted walk like living legends.

Every, One in four(1/4) children are born with a Nexas—an extraordinary ability that shapes their destiny.Some command storms.Some bend steel.Some topple mountains with their bare hands.

Heroes rise.Villains rebel.Power draws the line between glory and obscurity.

And in the nation of Vornis, in the glittering metropolis of Nexara, a single family stands at the peak of prestige:

The Arcwells.

A dynasty of power.A lineage of brilliance.A name whispered with both admiration and envy.

Roland Arcwell—master strategist, industrial titan, and one of the richest men in Fraxen.Rose Arcwell—renowned healer and business queen.Luna Arcwell—prodigy of light and speed, the academy's future star.Lily Arcwell—child genius who awakened her powers at age five.

A perfect family.A powerful family.

Except… for one.

The boy who broke the pattern.

The boy who was born without a Nexas.

Raze Arcwell.

While the world praised his lineage, it pitied him.While posters featured Luna's achievements, whispers followed Raze's steps.

No matter how prestigious the bloodline, fate had denied him the gift that defined power.

And yet—his family never let him fall into despair.

His mother hugged him the same.His father taught him business, strategy, and discipline.Luna and Lily guarded him more fiercely than any bodyguard ever could.

Raze wasn't unloved.

His whole family loved him so dearly.

But love doesn't erase a dream.

Every night, as Nexara's lights shimmered beneath his window, Raze watched news broadcasts of heroes saving cities, stopping disasters, protecting lives. His heart burned.

If Luna becomes a hero… then I want to stand beside her.I want to protect people too.Power or not… I won't accept a life of standing behind others.

He trained. Harder than anyone expected.Martial arts until his knuckles bled.Academics until his mind throbbed.Strategy until he began predicting moves before people made them.

If he couldn't awaken a Nexas, then he would forge a different power—a mind that never breaks and a will that never bows.

And then, the letter arrived.

Lionel Academy.The greatest hero institution in Vornis.The birthplace of legends.

Most students fought tooth and nail for a single spot.Raze… was admitted through family ownership.

He knew what people would say.He heard the snickers already.

"The powerless rich kid got in.""He'll drop out in a month.""What a waste of a seat."

But none of that mattered.

The moment he stepped through Lionel Academy's gates at sixteen, Raze whispered to himself:

"This world isn't meant for people like me.…So I'll change the world instead."

Whispers followed him.Eyes judged him.Most expected him to crumble.

But they didn't know the truth.

They didn't know that in this powerless boy's hands…lay a future that would shake Fraxen to its core.

This is the story of Raze Arcwell—the boy born without a Nexas in a world ruled by them…

…and how he would rise higher than anyone else.
