The world of Aarunya does not ask who you are.
It tells you.
At the age of six, every child awakens to a Talent — a divine gift from the Breath of the World. It reveals Affinity, Stats, Potential, and Rank — from F to EX — marking the path a soul is meant to walk.
Some are born lucky: into ancient Bloodlines, descendants of gods and spirits, their Talents powerful from the start. Fireweavers, Mindcallers, Beastwalkers. A child of lineage may awaken with A or S-rank potential before speaking their first spell.
The rest must climb from the bottom — if they can.
But no matter the rank, the greatest dream is the Source: a transcendent force, forged through self-mastery, that reshapes reality itself.
A Source cannot be given.
It must be earned.
No one has ever awakened with one.
Until now.

His name is Shiva.
No house. No bloodline. No affinity.
> Talent: Nirvana (F)
Affinity: None
Stats: Low
Potential: Unknown
They call it a defect. A failure.
But Nirvana is not a Talent.
It is a seed of something greater — a Source born before its time.
And Shiva…
He is not from this world.
