Everything you need to know before entering Border Province 9.
Every person is born with a Color Core that decides their magical affinity, social status, education, and future. Six elements rule the world: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, and Dark — each in three tiers of strength, from common Light Affinity to the rare and powerful Bright Affinity.
Most citizens accept this system as natural. Few question it. Fewer survive after questioning it.
Some children are born without any color. Officially, they are failures — defective, magicless, worthless. They are left behind while gifted children are taken to the capital, their memories of home slowly erased.
But nobody truly understands the Colorless. Because Colorless is not a failure. It is the original state.
The most powerful kingdom in the world — beautiful, clean, orderly, rich. The center of politics, education, and magical research. Most citizens believe Solaris represents justice.
Most have never seen the provinces.
History has been rewritten. Before Fire, before Water, before Earth, before Wind, before Light, before Dark — there existed another path, erased from every book.
Its name was NEON. Nobody alive knows the truth. Yet one Colorless boy is about to change everything.
