🌌 The Nine Pillars
In this world, all power flows from the Nine Pillars—sentient, cosmic forces that exist beyond mortals, yet choose who may wield their essence.
1. Fire (Ignis) – Destruction & renewal
2. Gravity (Gravitic) – Anchoring order & force
3. Light (Luminous) – Truth, clarity, and insight
4. Space (Spatialis) – Portals, displacement, distance
5. Summoning (Conjura) – Bonds between realms
6. Darkness (Tenebris) – Shadows, secrecy, and silence
7. Void (Nihilis) – Erasure, oblivion, and unmaking
8. Time (Temporis) – Memory, reversal, stasis
9. The Beginning (Origen) – The origin of all Pillars, born only after the mastery of the eight
Each Pillar chooses its bearer and challenges them through trials of will, intent, and legacy.

🧍♂️ The Protagonist: Aelros Val'Taren
Known across the continent as "The Teacher in White", Aelros is a battle-hardened instructor at the prestigious Astral Academy.
He is a master of all eight Pillars and the only known soul connected to the Ninth.
Unknown to most, he carries a second personality—not evil, but detached, emotionless, and far more powerful. This alternate self chooses when to awaken… or when to remain silent.
Aelros's destiny isn't to rule—but to choose when not to intervene… and when to remember.

📝 A Final Note
This novel blends epic fantasy, mystery, philosophy, and action. Some names and cadet numbers may appear inconsistent early on—this has been corrected by Chapter 5 and beyond.
Your journey starts with Chapter 1: The Teacher in White.
But the true story begins far deeper...
In the place before even the first Pillar knew its name.
In the place where beginnings are born.
