The Mage's Evolution

An young boy, Thalion. A humble and powerless mage, who finds himself trapped in a cycle of failure and ridicule. Despite his earnest efforts, Thalion's magical abilities never develop, leaving him an outcast among his peers at the prestigious Academy. After a particularly humiliating defeat in a duel, Thalion is consumed by despair. One fateful night, as he wanders through the forest, he encounters a dying elder dragon. The dragon, recognizing Thalion's latent potential, offers him a choice: to die a powerless mage or be reborn with the dragon's essence. Thalion accepts the dragon's offer and is reincarnated with new essence.
