The Will of the Many

There's this big-shot ruling crew called the Catenan Republic, the Hierarchy, running the show worldwide. But here's the dea - they don't have all the deets.

I go by the name Vis Telimus. I spin them a tale about being an orphan since a tragic accident three years back, and by some stroke of luck, I'm now in their top-notch school. I feed them this line about joining the rest of civilized society after I graduate, letting them siphon off my strength, drive, and focus, aka Will, to boost the big shots above me - like millions already do. It's the way things go, or so they say.

I play the part, make them think I belong, and they buy it.

But here's the real deal: I'm at the Academy on a secret mission. I'm on the hunt for answers, solving a murder, searching for an ancient weapon, and unearthing secrets that could shake up the whole Republic.

And there's no way I'm handing over my Will to the empire that wiped out my family.

Survival, though, means climbing the ranks at the Academy. I've got to smile, make friends, act like I'm one of them, and win. Because if I can't, those who want to control me, who know my true identity, won't have any use for me anymore.

And if the Hierarchy figures out who I really am, they're gonna off me, no questions asked.
