MY HIDDEN TALENT IS FORBIDDEN BY THE HEAVENS

Fifty years ago, rifts appeared in the world. These rifts spewed spirit beasts, ancient artifacts, and fragments of lost civilizations. The human race brought forth Talent Sigils and built guilds and families for survival. These families include one of the oldest awakened bloodlines, known as "The Long Clan," said to trace its lineage from the dragons of antiquity. However, rivalries also exist within great clans. His name is Long Hao, the son of a dwindling lineage family who is ridiculed for being the embarrassment of the clan. It is not impossible for people to believe that he has only mediocre talent because the clan already labels him as the failure who does not deserve the name dragon. But on the night before the awakening ceremony, there is a prohibited awakening within him. > [Eclipse System… Activating [Forbidden Talent Detected. Origin: Dragon-Eclipse Bloodline It seems that *Heaven’s Law* itself has made Long Hao wields forbidden talent, a skill feared not only by humans but also by the heavens. The day that follows, the Awakening Stone has no talent, and the world laughs at him. But Long Hao just smiled. When the first dungeon appears out of nowhere in his high school, chaos breaks out. "The trash of the Long Clan" emerges and displays power that shocks the city. He will overcome his destiny. Above the guilds. Above ancient clans. Beyond God's own command. A dragon ought to fly across the nine heavens, and he, named Long Hao, shall smash those who come to get in his way. A dragon should soar across the nine heavens— and Long Hao will shatter anyone who dares stand in his path.

IV: The Rebellion

In the aftermath of a fractured world, the globe is divided among five ruthless Continents locked in a perpetual, blood-soaked cold war. At the heart of this global tension lies the European Empire, a sprawling, highly stratified dystopia of gleaming, orbital megalopolises and starving, smog-choked outer sectors. The Empire is ruled with an iron fist by the Triumvirate, a council of three absolute authorities: The First House (The Sword), which commands the terrifying, mechanized might of the Iron Legion; The Second House (The Vault), which holds a monopoly over global trade and synthetic agriculture; and The Third House (The Eye), which monitors every citizen through an inescapable web of cybernetic intelligence. Ten years ago, the empire's Fourth House was completely killed because they dared to question the illusion of peace. Now, that fragile peace is shattering. From the neon-lit alleys of Sector 4 to the brutal coastal lithium mines, a desperate underground rebellion known as the Ember is rising. Starving and outgunned, the Ember are fighting an unwinnable war of sabotage and shadows against the Triumvirate's mechanized juggernauts. At the epicenter of this brewing storm is the Sovereign Elite Institute. Built to withstand orbital bombardment, the academy is where the aristocratic heirs of the Empire's ruling houses are groomed for absolute power. Within its pristine, marble halls, high-stakes geopolitics and corporate espionage are treated as classroom exercises, and the wealthy elite walk shoulder-to-shoulder with a handful of brilliant, impoverished scholarship students from the lower tiers. As the Ember's strikes grow bolder and the Triumvirate unleashes its ruthless Inquisition to purge the outer sectors, the Institute becomes a microcosm of a world on the brink of total collapse. In a society built on buried secrets, erased histories, and absolute control, the sparks of rebellion are catching—and the ashes of the Old World are waiting to ignite. We follow our main characters in this ruthless and power hungry world.
