Warden of Shadows: Crown of the Veiled Sovereign

TimeLandix
Gaston was born to a lesser noble house. A branch family. Expendable. When his house fell, no one mourned. When he was branded a legacy project, no one expected him to rise. They were wrong. Stripped of status and discarded by the very system meant to elevate him, Gaston is left with ambition—and a presence in the dark that does not bow to noble blood. It offers no prophecy. No chosen destiny. Only leverage. The nobility believes power is inherited. The Crown believes it is controlled. Gaston intends to prove them both wrong. If the kingdom cannot be purged from within, he will build something beside it— something patient, unseen, and inevitable. They cast him aside as expendable. They are about to discover he was the fail-safe.

Several centuries ago, this world underwent a phenomenon that blessed humans with a supernatural power called an Aspect. As time passed, heroes began to arise as their power, achievements and courage for placing their lives on the line to save the innocent inspired many as those with an Aspect dreamed of becoming a symbol of peace for our world. I, Rai Shinsei, was one of them as I would hear many stories of heroes from the townsfolk, although, the source of my inspiration was from my two loving parents, who were idolized by the townsfolk as their strength and kindness left me captivated, but despite my dreams, fate had a different future in store for me as tragedy soon occurred, changing my life forever. On my sixth birthday, I witnessed a catastrophe. My once tranquil hometown, which housed kind hearted souls was ravaged by none other than a hero, whose destruction knew no bounds as any structure within his sight was obliterated while every being within my hometown was mercilessly slaughtered. The screams and cries of those I once knew left me in a trepidatious state, but my nightmare was far from over as the remaining survivors was none other than my parents, who were forced to say their goodbyes as the hero killed them right before my eyes, sparing only me and on that day, I was never interested in becoming a hero anymore. Selling my soul to vengeance, I made a vow. To destroy the Hero Association. Although, everything changed once I was forced to enroll into a place I would have never imagined. A Hero Academy.
