The Outcast Archmage

Twenty years ago, Lucas, a newborn of House Roland, was deemed a “useless waste” with the blood of mortals flowing through his veins after being tested at birth and found to lack a magical source. To prevent enemies in the Western Frontier from coveting the family’s stronghold, Violet Tower, the head of the house, Raymond, ruthlessly carried out a ruse: he exiled his eldest son and declared him dead. Lucas was subsequently taken in by Augustus, the world’s most powerful legendary mage who lived in seclusion. Concealing his immense power and wielding nothing more than a black, charred stick, he trained relentlessly for over a decade, eventually becoming the continent’s sole master of forbidden arts—a mage possessing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
