before i begin, i want to mention this is a remaster of a story i wrote earlier. it's not getting much attention as of right now so i wanted to see if this app could give my story more attention. with that said however, let's begin the story.
the story begins with Sam Hart, a 16 year old boy who lives in a world where everyone can use magic from an age of 8 years. Sam however, has never before used magic in his life since he was known for being born without mana.
one morning like any other, he stands up from his bed, trying to imitate the dash spell by running down its ladder. he inhales and exhales, time for another likely futile attempt.
Sam: "i call from the depths of my soul... if only i possess a drop of this power... may i cast: Flare!"
but despite holding the palm of his hand out firmly towards the training dummy, the sigils did not even form in his hand, but instead he was once again reminded of his simple humanity, why the world rejects him and why he can't make any friends. he was planning to leave Lumina city a while back, but figured the rest of the world will be all the same. he felt disappointed once again and walked out of his room.
Sam: "maybe i should quit trying.. i'm only gonna be hurt more every time i try and predictably fail..."
he walked down the stairs, being greeted by little brother Sander with a pie to his face, before running away laughing.
Sam: "ugh.. mooom! Sander pulled one of his stupid pranks on me again!"
his mom shouted at him
Lila: "go fix it yourself!! i'm not gonna help you! if you had only a bit of mana you could have prevented it using magic!"
as you may have noticed, even family members despise the magicless, showing once more that such a person isn't considered to belong in a world like this. despite the matter, Sam goes to the kitchen and washes his face, packs his stuff and heads off to school.
a few moments later he sees a few of his bullies ahead on the street, waiting for him, they want money. Sam takes a deep breath and approaches them
Jack: "well look who it is~ our broke pissy-pants magicless boy~ come on Sam, you forgot to pay me yesterday..."
he nudges closer to Sam
Jack: "but tell you what.. I'll let it slide if today.. you pay double the usual amount!~ unless you wanna make up for it by taking twice the beating..."
Sam: "tell you what.. if you two can catch me, then I'll think about paying up!"
the other bully laughs and talks yo Jack
Michael: "nahhh bro... he just challenged you Jack! you gonna let mister big talk cave you in?"
Jack: "it's a deal.. but if we catch you it'll be thrice the beating instead!~"
Sam ran away without saying another word, knowing that his normal speed is still faster than the dash spell from Jack and Michael, but the two give chase, combining the dash spell with teleportation, using it to keep up. Jack mocks Sam from the rooftops
Jack: "hey, you can still chicken out now and give me your money! i'm planning to buy something for a girl i have a crush on!~"
Sam: "i don't give a damn about your after school plans! and besides that..."
Sam picked up a rock while running
Sam: "unless they are too, don't think any girl would like dating a bully!"
Sam accurately threw the rock at Jack's face, distracting him as Sam ran into an alleyway
Jack: "ow! hey, no cheating! magicless people should be defenseless! hey, where did he go?"
Michael pointed into the alleyway
Michael: "in here! he must be on the other end!"
they ran through the alleyway
Jack: "you won't escape from me shitass! get back here!"
they run through the alleyway, not even stopping to think Sam might be hiding behind the dumpster, which he is. he comes out of hiding once they're finally gone
Sam: "phew! good thing i've been training my legs so much earlier... i gotta get to school now though soo..."
he was about to walk away when suddenly he heard a voice gasping for air in the dumpster.
???: "shit.. got little time left... gotta find.. a vessel..."
Sam stopped in his track and opened the dumpster, revealing a black wisp-like creature called a Seishin. he's lucky to have found a black one, for they have not only one of the highest mana multipliers, but also the ability to extra and transfer mana.
