Villain in Class A

In a world where heroism is measured by popularity, Elias Nightwarden is ranked dead last.

At Aethelgard Academy, students gain power through public approval, sponsorships, and audience engagement. The stronger the spotlight, the stronger the hero. But Elias has nothing—no followers, no Aura, no future. To the system, he is a mistake marked with a permanent #1000.

Humiliated in the arena and abandoned by the very world that worships false heroes, Elias discovers a terrifying power hidden beyond the Academy’s control: Raw Will — a force untouched by rankings, cameras, or applause.

Now hunted by the system itself, Elias must decide what he truly wants to become:

A hero the world will love…

or the glitch that burns the entire system down
