Refining the Heavens

<<A.K.A. Kairos Astroire & the Snowdrifts>>

Kairos, a poor village boy, born without a shred of talent, lived in a world much like ours except it is suffused with magic and an energy called Ki.

Enrolled in the Saint Cadets Academy and at the very bottom of the rung, he and his childhood buddies faced expulsion, starvation, and then death.

While everyone dreamt to wield those strange powers and transcend their mortal shells, they struggled to survive and earn some money. Except the world doesn't feel particularly generous and decided to throw some wrenches into the gears; Wrenches the size of inter-species war. Since the heavens bore down so cruelly on him, why not refine the heavens?
