Void of the Magus

Lennon was once an ordinary university student on Earth, a man with simple ambitions and no knowledge of the arcane. But a freak spatial anomaly tears him from his reality, thrusting him into a world ruled by ancient magic, fearsome monsters, and unyielding strength—a world where only the powerful survive. Lost in a land of Magi, Lennon soon discovers he is utterly powerless in this new plane. But fate is not entirely cruel: by his side is an advanced AI, an inheritance robot left behind by an extinct civilization known as the Auttis. This machine holds knowledge beyond Earth’s wildest dreams, technology capable of reshaping worlds. It is the key to survival, and perhaps, to domination. For over a century, Lennon toils in secrecy, using the robot’s vast knowledge to unlock the mysteries of the Magi and fortify himself against a hostile world. But with his talent limitations, he struggles to break past the barriers of true power—until he finally crafts the ultimate vessel, a new body forged to endure the magical energies of this world and elevate him to a level few could ever reach. Now, with an unyielding resolve and his indomitable will, Lennon is ready to reshape his destiny. Armed with a combination of Auttis technology and newfound arcane power, he sets his sights on ascending to the peak of this world’s hierarchy. But in a land where power is everything, Lennon’s ambition draws enemies from all sides—ancient beings, dark forces, and rival Magi who would stop at nothing to see him fall. Can Lennon rise to the top in this unforgiving world of monsters and magic, or will he be consumed by the very power he seeks?

The Decent begins

The air inside the ruins was thick with ancient magic, and every step Lennon took echoed ominously. The walls were lined with runes that pulsed faintly, their glow illuminating the dark corridors in eerie patterns.

Suddenly, the floor beneath him shifted. Instinctively, Lennon jumped back just as a spike of pure mana erupted from the ground, slicing through the air where he had stood.

"First trap," he muttered, his eyes narrowing. "Figures it would be immediate."

The ruins were designed to kill. Every corner, every hall, and every chamber was a potential death trap.

Only those with the cunning and strength to navigate these dangers could hope to claim the inheritance.

He pressed forward cautiously, activating his defensive spell, Void Barrier Fortress. The shimmering energy field surrounded him, providing a measure of protection against sudden attacks.

His progress was slow, but deliberate. Each new trap tested his reflexes and magical prowess.

Blades of compressed air, pits filled with corrosive liquid, and glyphs that unleashed torrents of fire--Lennon faced them all.

Hours passed, and Lennon found himself before a massive stone door adorned with intricate carvings. He could feel the powerful barrier sealing the room beyond.

"This must be the first trial guardian," he muttered, stepping forward.

With a flick of his wrist, he activated the door's mechanism. The stone creaked and groaned as it slid open, revealing a towering construct made of dark metal and glowing runes. Its eyes flared with an unnatural light as it sprang to life.

"Third-circle spell: Eclipse

Barrage!" Lennon shouted, unleashing a devastating salvo of void energy. The blasts struck the construct head-on, but it barely staggered.

The construct retaliated with a beam of concentrated mana. Lennon barely managed to evade, the beam grazing his shoulder and searing his flesh.

"This is going to be a long fight." he thought grimly.
