Synopsis
After being discovered as a magical talent and being taken in by a mage as apprentice, Rethys, an insignificant street urchin, gets a shot at becoming himself a mage, a powerful practitioner of the Ether that uses it to produce awesome effects and transcend the limits of reality.
But though his circumstances improve, years pass with him still a magicless commoner, his potential never being realized. As he spends his days in boring monotony as an assistant in an unimportant magic workshop, he dreams that one day his talent would blossom, allowing him to walk the path of a mage.
One day, during an expedition with his master, Rethys has his wish fulfilled, granting him unique, never-before-seen powers, but at a terrible cost.

Obligatory 5 star author review, just gonna lay down some info here. If you got questions, you can leave them in the comments. -What's this story like?: It will be a slow story, with focus on worldbuilding and characterization. The plan is to build a world that could stand without this initial story, and a character that would be interesting without its world. I may not explain things right away, but please trust me to address them when the time is right. -So what's this story about?: It's about a guy called Rethys, his struggle and his journey through this world, as well as his journey as a person. -What's this Rethys like?: Former homeless street orphan, cynical and a survivor, a bit boring but becomes... more as the story progresses, and you get to see exactly how that unfolds. -Will he be overpowered?: Yes but Not really. The bulk of his powers would *need* to be hidden, effectively bringing his power down. He will still be quite powerful without them however, whether it be wits or magic. -Will there be romance?: Yes but it will be slow, and no harem. That's all I could think to address off the top of my head, about the story anyways. Planning to update with a chapter a day, but things may fluctuate. First 10 chapters are a prologue in which the MC plays a secondary role, that of an observer. This prologue introduces the world and set the stage, Rethys' personal story starts properly afterwards. That's all I think, this is the first time I try to write a story like this, so any and all feedback is appreciated. Nymian out.
