Welcome to the Aethel Academy

Erik, a young blonde man with blue eyes and a height of 1.75 m, wakes up in an alternate version of his world, where magic flows through the streets, spiritual herbs sprout from the cracks, and mythological creatures walk among humans in disguise. He has just been discovered by his father, whom he thought was dead, and claimed by the Order of the Phoenix, which does not understand how someone without talent could cross the Barrier. In the midst of the chaos, his lineage is revealed: a descendant of dragons. Now he must enter a prestigious school of wizards, pretending to be just another student, while his ancestral power threatens to expose him.

Erik feels betrayed by his father, who hid his identity to protect him, but now he must learn to trust him as both face forces that seek to control his power. His arranged engagement to a mysterious young woman promises to further complicate his heart and his destiny.

This parallel world seems like a copy of ours, but with a hidden layer of ancient magic. Alchemy flourishes in clandestine markets, cultivators train in parks under the light of twin moons, and mythical beasts mingle with the population. Cities float on pillars of ancestral energy, and magic schools are fortresses of political power. Magical laws are severe: those who awaken forbidden powers are watched or recruited. Everything smells of nostalgia, as if the world remembered Erik before he arrived.

Erik must learn to control his draconian lineage, protect himself from those who want to use his power, discover why he was chosen to cross the Barrier, and decide whether he wants to be a hero, a prince, or simply a young man seeking to live free.
