🌍 STORY SYNOPSIS (Contract Level)

> In a world where Spiritual Cores decide fate, the weak are crushed and the strong rule without mercy.

Kael, a boy born without a core, is labeled Coreless—the lowest existence in society.

On the night he is meant to die, Kael awakens something forbidden inside his body:

A sealed Demon Core once feared by the gods themselves.

Each time Kael uses its power, he grows stronger…

But the demon inside him grows closer to awakening.

If Kael loses control, the world will gain a demon king.

If he succeeds, he may become something far worse—

A human who commands demons.

📜 CHAPTER 1

The Boy Without a Core

(📌 100% Webnovel-ready)

---

The world decided a person's worth the moment they turned sixteen.

Not by kindness.

Not by effort.

But by the Spiritual Core awakened inside their body.

Kael stood in the center of the awakening hall, surrounded by glowing crystal pillars. Hundreds of eyes were fixed on him—some curious, most cruel.

"Place your hand on the stone," the examiner said coldly.

Kael obeyed.

The crystal pulsed once.

Then… nothing.

Silence spread through the hall.

The examiner frowned and tried again. "Increase output."

The crystal glowed brighter—but still showed the same result.

No response.

The crowd erupted.

"Coreless…" "He really has nothing." "What a waste of food."

The examiner stepped back as if Kael were dirt.

"Kael Arden," he announced loudly, "Spiritual Core: None."

The words crushed Kael's chest.

Coreless.

In this world, it meant only one thing.

Disposable.

Kael walked home alone as the sun set behind the city walls. His footsteps echoed through empty streets.

Sixteen years of hoping.

Sixteen years of lies he told himself.

Maybe I'm different.

Maybe mine is just late.

All gone.

His father had died in a monster raid.

His mother vanished years ago.

Now… even the world rejected him.

"Hey."

Kael stopped.

Three figures blocked the alley ahead.

Academy uniforms.

Silver Core emblems.

"Coreless trash," one of them sneered. "You think you deserve to live in this city?"

Kael slowly stepped back.

"I don't want trouble," he said.

They laughed.

The first punch shattered his vision.

He fell hard onto the stone ground. Kicks followed. Pain exploded across his body.

"People like you shouldn't exist," someone said.

A sharp pain pierced his chest.

A blade.

Warm blood soaked his clothes.

As Kael's consciousness faded, a strange heat ignited deep inside him.

Then—

A voice echoed in darkness.

> "So… this is the body they threw away?"

Kael's eyes snapped open.

Black symbols burned across his chest.

The wound sealed itself.

Power surged.

The alley walls cracked.

The three attackers froze, terror flooding their faces.

Kael slowly stood up.

His eyes glowed crimson.

And deep inside him, something laughed.

> "Do not disappoint me, host."
