I'm An Archer
Oliver Queen awakens to a rebirth in a fantastical world where divine blessings dictate one's destiny and societal standing. Without any supernatural powers or sacred blessings, he stands as an outcast in a society that venerates such gifts. Refusing to be marginalized, Oliver discovers an innate talent for archery, a skill that requires precision, patience, and practice rather than magic.
To secure a place in a prestigious academy and a chance at a better life, he fabricates a blessing from the Moon Goddess, claiming it grants him unerring aim. His deception gains him admission, but it also sets him on a precarious path where each day is a tightrope walk between advancement and exposure.
Amidst the halls of the academy, Oliver experiences the warmth of friendship, the stirrings of first love, and the comfort of belonging, feelings he had long forsaken. However, his inability to fully embrace these connections leaves him isolated, and over time, they begin to fade away like echoes in a vast canyon.
When he's unexpectedly selected to represent his class in the school's annual competition, Oliver's secret teeters on the brink of revelation. The event includes a stringent blessing verification test overseen by the formidable dean, designed specifically to unmask impostors. With the walls closing in, he contemplates drastic measures to protect his secret, even as he realizes that running away may cost him the very things he's come to value.
Determined to confront his challenges head-on, Oliver embarks on a journey of self-improvement and self-discovery. He resolves to rely on his own hard-earned skills and the genuine relationships he's begun to form. Along the way, he attempts to reclaim the friendships and affections he once neglected, understanding that true strength comes not from divine blessings but from within.
