In the city of Gravif, Axel, a notorious thief, 'stumbles' upon a powerful artifact. Upon unlocking its abilities, the artifact corrupts his mana, causing it to plummet to -1. With this strange glitch, Axel becomes an unstoppable force. However, Axel, preferring to operate under the radar, opts to conceal his new abilities, not one for unwanted attention. Yet, luck proves to be against him as the city of Gravif and its lurking demons have alternative plans. --- I'll keep writing 'The Blood Magic User' and release one new chapter every day. This is another project I'm working on, experimenting with the system tag and adding my own spin. Thank you for reading!
I kept sitting on the bench, gazing at the sky with my head resting on the back. The sun was shining, and there wasn't a single cloud in sight. It was so hot that I had to remove my long coat and open the first two buttons of my shirt.
I stood up and entered the school building. My restless eyes were making me see everything double; I really needed to sleep. The next class was in fifteen minutes. At least I could take a nap until then and hopefully be awakened by Mira when the lesson started.
Reaching the classroom, I sat down at my desk and put my head on the table. As soon as I shut my eyes, I was asleep.

"Wha –" I said, blinking away the fog of exhaustion. "Who are y…"
I got punched right in the mouth out of nowhere, and my chair fell to the ground with me in it. I hit the floor with a loud thud, my head smacking against the back leg of the desk.
