Fantasy

In a world where mana nodes inherently decode spells, acting as the pre-built magical processors of all mages, Zephyr awakens with just a single node, putting him at a disadvantage.
    Unconcerned with fame or glory, he initially shrugs off this profound limitation, even dismissing his father's final and seemingly useless gift. But when a relentless spiral of uncontrollable events threatens his very existence, Zephyr has to figure out a way to utilize his inherited legacy.
    His survival now depends on understanding the fundamental nature of mana nodes and how they tick in a world that takes the process for granted.
    His method of conscious processing pushes the boundaries of conventional magic and draws the attention of formidable world powers and ancient noble houses. As Zephyr delves deeper, he begins to uncover disturbing truths about their world and the very origins of magic itself.
    How would he navigate this treacherous landscape where every discovery could be his last?
    What to expect:
    - Unique power system that draws inspiration from modern processors.
    - Extensive character development and world building.
    - MC starts out weak and capped... until he figures out how to process better. Power is earned.
    - Mana cores, mana nodes, spell processing, noble houses, knowledge gatekeeping, great world powers, hidden factions, a touch of sci-fi, multiple worlds, soft kingdom building...
