Ronan Reeves died a nobody on Earth — beaten to death in a drug deal gone wrong. But when he awakens in a new world of relics and elemental empires, he's given a second chance. Not as a hero. Not as a chosen one. Just... alive.
In this world, at age 15, people can bond with elemental relics — ancient objects of immense power. But when Ronan receives a strange stone chain called Cinder Coil, he becomes the laughing stock of his peers. Still, something stirs within him.
He sees it all — the slaves, the champions, the broken ideals.
If this world worships strength, then Ronan will become strong not for power… but for those forgotten.
Because he didn’t come to fit in.
He came to burn a new path — and become the Flame Champion.
