Description

The world's a strange place — not "magic and dragons" strange, but the kind where your phone listens to you, your coffee costs more than rent, and your university's top playboy might secretly be saving the city after dark. Meet Ryder Dross — Halcrest University's golden boy. Charming, effortlessly smart, and just arrogant enough to make professors sigh and classmates swoon. He's got that half-smirk, half-trouble energy, the kind that says "I definitely skipped class, but I still aced the exam." Everyone knows him. No one really knows him. Because when the lights go out and the city starts to scream, Ryder's not at a party — he's leading the AEGIS Vanguard, a team of powered students fighting to keep Halcrest from tearing itself apart. They've got tech prodigies, energy wielders, bio-healers… and then there's him. No powers. No fancy tricks. Just instincts, blades, and the nerve to take down people who could level buildings. He plans like a machine and fights like he's got something to prove — probably because he does. By day, he flirts, jokes, and pretends he doesn't care. By night, he's Raze, the unpowered leader who holds gods and monsters in check. Yeah. The world's weird. One minute you're watching the campus prince skip another lecture — and the next, he's saving you from a collapsing skyscraper with that same infuriating grin. He'll say he's no hero. But if you've ever seen Halcrest glow again after the chaos — you'll know he's lying.
