Beneath the noise

amberXOXO
In the heart of Rome, two teenagers (both 17 years old) carry scars no one sees. Chiara is the golden girl- top of her class, perfect on the outside, but hiding behind a mask. Her sketchbook, guitar and soccer are her escape: her only way to scream when she can’t. Luca is her opposite: confident, charismatic, unpredictable. A school rival with sharp comebacks and a hidden edge. But beneath the swagger is a boy covered in bruises, waking up to slammed doors and walking on glass in his own home. They clash in class and anywhere their paths cross. It’s rivalry, it’s “war”, it’s tension so thick it chokes. Until pain start to blur the lines between hate and something else. As secrets slip trough the cracks and scars speak louder than words, Chiara and Luca are forced to face each other (and themselves) in ways they never expected. “Beneath the noice” is a slow-burn enemies- to- lovers story about trauma, survival, and finding someone who hears the sound beneath your silence.

What if money was power? What if capital was magical? What if income was cultivation? What if a young man decided to destroy this unjust world of inequality and build a better one? That was exactly what Cæ (Cash) sought to do amid grief, anger, and hatred when he lost everything in an accident. Having come from nothing in the slums, his only goal had been to live a good life. By the age of twenty-two, he had finally managed to pull himself out of poverty with a decent job and romance. And then he lost everything he had ever built in an accident that left him in a coma for half a year. The world deprived him of the only person he had truly come to love. The predatory healthcare system burdened him with debt. The corrupt justice system deprived him of justice. The financial system robbed him of everything he owned. For the second time in his life, Cæ had been left with nothing. Well, almost nothing. The accident and the ensuing coma had altered his brain and mind, giving him an extraordinary talent for cultivating and mastering magic. He had been blessed with Acquired Savant Syndrome, a medical condition so rare that there were very few instances of it ever having occurred in history. It gave him endless potential and remarkable power. It gave him the power to destroy the world that he hated from the bottom of his heart. It gave him the power to destroy it and build a better one. And that was exactly what Cæ set out to do. --- This is my second novel, albeit my first time trying my hand at Royal Road. This story is centered around my desire to explore a story with a magical system centered around macroeconomics and politics. As the title suggests, this story will be centered around kingdom-building and progression fantasy. Romance is a coin flip. No smut. No harem. No systems. Hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it.
