Godbreaker: Rise of the Battle Mage

HJ_Crimson
Feared by gods. Revered by mortals. Lohan Ardyn, the greatest battle mage to ever walk the tower, was betrayed at the height of his power—not by an enemy, but by Justine, his most beloved student, who ascended to godhood by striking him down. Fifty years later, Lohan awakens… reborn as a powerless, bullied student at the very academy that once trained legends. Stripped of his strength and status, his name lost to time, he begins again in a world that has long moved on. But the gods made one fatal mistake: they didn’t kill his mind. Armed with a mysterious System that lets him copy any skill, ancient knowledge of forbidden magic, and battle instincts honed in countless wars, Lohan sets his sights on one thing—climbing the tower once more. This time, not to rise. But to burn the heavens. And as he draws the attention of Winter, an aloof S-rank prodigy with untouchable power, Lohan must walk a thin line—between vengeance and salvation, between past regrets and the future he never thought he’d have. The gods wanted him erased. Now, they’ll remember why they feared him.

My SSS Rank System

***his life had never been worse, hopeless, miserable...and alone. until he heard the sound... That small sound, like the chiming of a bell, Ding! Yes, that's the one, the sound that changed his life.*** He had always been the weakest. Laughed at by the villagers. Scorned by the hunters. Ignored by the world. Born without magic in a land where even children could tame flames or speak to beasts, Kael was a mistake in everyone’s eyes. He couldn't lift a training sword, summon a familiar, or even sense mana. Not even a flicker. Not even a spark. Not until the day the world cracked open before him. That day, rain poured like the sky wept for him. He knelt beside his sister’s broken pendant, the last thing he had of her. Mud caked his fingers. Blood stained the ground. And then— That sound. So soft, so sudden, it cut through the storm. Ding! A chime. A bell, bright and delicate, like hope itself. > [Congratulations, Host. You have been selected by the SSS Rank System.] [Initialization begins…] His breath caught. His heart skipped. And the sky— The sky stopped crying. From that moment, Kael was no longer the weakest. He just hadn't awakened yet. ***The world of Aerthrial is steeped in mana, spirit beasts, and ancient legacies. Power is everything—measured in Ranks (F to SSS). Guilds protect the world, magic academies train the elite, and the strongest become Archons—those who command dragons, bend space, or rewrite fate. No one has ever possessed an SSS Rank System. Until now.*** **** Main Character: Name: Kael Ardyn Age: 15 (at start) Background: Orphan, magicless, often bullied. His sister died protecting him from a beast raid, and he carries her pendant. Core Trait: Empathetic and underestimated—kind but sharp, and he slowly gains tactical brilliance. Goal: Become strong enough to change the broken world that scorned the weak. System Core Mechanics: SSS Rank System: Grants Kael access to a unique tiered skill tree, beast contracts, evolution paths, and system quests. Has both active abilities (combat) and passive blessings (intuition, mana growth). As Kael emotionally evolves, the System itself evolves, gaining sentience over time.
