Caelith doesn't want too much in life, a clean home, a happy mother, and maybe a girlfriend. Raised in the Stormont manner, one of the highest ranking noble household in the kingdom, he grew up a bastard, mistreated and abused by the main lineage.

At the tender age of sixteen nobles undergo a divine ceremony, receiving the opportunity to be blessed by the gods however he receives Nothing.

Caelith struggles in this world but at the end of the day, He is Nobody, and he has Nothing. Collapse

    Good but IMHO It feels like 30-40% of the text was generated by AI.

    I have now read all 50 chapters and I give the book a 8 out of 10. I would recommend it’s worth the read. The only chapter I did not like were the first 5 and after that is has only gotten better.

    I understand giving the MC a low starting point to have a character development or whatever, but this is just....

    The MC as a bastard of a noble, somehow manages to have a rebellious personality, this already takes me out of immersion because if you're raised in an environment like that, you'd likely become a coward. Not a permanently angry gremlin. I'd have much rather seen him develop from a coward to something more.

    Also, he was hoping he'd get somewhere with an awakening, and not only did he fail, completely shattering his initial hopes, he didn't feel despair, he just felt like oh, it's a shame, but I'm mad at the gods now. In what world does a bastard, bullied to absolute oblivion, get that conclusion?

    Honestly, it feels like the author started writing the plot, got affected by his own plot, and self inserted his anger into the MC.

    Someone tell me if it gets better because this is just ridiculous.

      Yup, it’s often problem with authors that want to put hero in the underdog position but in the process of doing so they don’t realise that tragedy effectively becomes comedy, when sole purpose of antagonists is to make hero’s life miserable it’s just incredibly funny to me.

      Author introduce new character in the tournament, essentially Gojo, but with black hair and red eyes, which is already weird because power set of Kailith ( Kai+lith it couldn’t be more obvious where inspiration came from) is already reminds of a blue of infinity. If Kailith magic is repel, the subGojo have gravity control.

      By the 50th chapter we already have power creep and battles starting to remind me of a Dragon Ball fights, so my personal investment is nonexistent.

      Author should have made some kind of drawback from abusing powers, give them cooldowns of something in that regard.

      It’s really 5 of 10, or maybe lower. It has potential but I doubt you will miss anything new or interesting if you decide to skip it.

    You know, this made me think... If absolute nothingness truly existed, its existence itself would be a paradox as its existence proves that it is something but if it doesn't exist then that is part of absolute nothingness, nothingness can be considered to be the lack of everything, but everything includes nothing.

      I believe that absolute nothing does not exist but is more like a state than existence. Because absolute nothing more of a description than actually saying what anything is in existence

      It’s not that deep Absolute is just a tack-on to the word nothingness means nothing that’s it absolute nothingness is just Nothingness but with a meaningless word that helps supplement it that’s all

      Interesting take, I think absolute nothingness (AN) is everything human mind incapable of imagining or understand. Since imagining or conceptualizing AN makes it “something” not nothing.

      Where is the logic in that? You say nothingness is everything that does not exist. Yet you say ‘everything’ includes nothing. That’s just a misunderstanding of semantics

        You seem to miss the point, we are not talking based on the semantics aspect but on the conceptual aspect, you can kind of somewhat think of it as the russel's paradox. Even then, there is no misunderstanding of semantics since russel's paradox can also apply to predication, which is a fundamental concept in semantics. Go to youtube to watch Jeffrey Kaplan's video on the Russell's paradox if you don't understand this

          When did you link this to Russell?

          Conceptually it makes perfect sense. Prove it doesn’t

          The text you quoted is conceptually flawed. Sure. But i was referring to what you said about it. That’s definitely semantics, you mention “nothingness” being a set that is in its self Not “nothing” it’s a “something”. No. Conceptually it is definitely not. What colour, shape, size, weight, length, width, smell etc does nothingness have? Take the statement “before the universe began nothing existed”. You can apply Russell’s paradox to it in a semantic sense. But conceptually it’s fine. Nothingness would mean absence of all things. So in all actuality it just means there was no beginning of the universe because there was no thing before it. Meaning the time I’m referring to is purely imaginary, it exists nowhere except our imagination. Of course when we say exist( we mean material) and materially only our thoughts of that time exists that time itself does not exist materially and so not at all

        I never said that it is a set, when I referred to the Russell's paradox, I am more focused on the similarity of how including nothingness in everything rejects nothingness' very own existence like how a set that contains sets that do not contain themselves, it too also rejects it's own existence. I just refer to it to make it easier to see that they reject their existence and not making nothingness be seen as a set. While everything can also kind of be seen as the unrestricted membership of all things, including nothingness, it doesn't really matter if it exists or not, since actual everything contains whatever it is whether it exists or not. Mostly conceptual, in reality, true nothingness most probably does not exist.

          Come on now. That doesn’t make sense. Put in standard form just how nothingness rejects its own existence. And when you say nothingness does not exist in reality. Of course it doesn’t exist! That’s exactly what nothing is. And do notice that i am referring to nothingness being completely coherent. So please explain to me (outside of a linguistic sense) how the concept of nothingness is not coherent. Because that was the original conversation and that conversation is based on what i said, i didn’t say anything about nothingness existing materially. Its pure linguistics to say nothingness does not exist

            Can we just end this... nothingness cannot be a coherent concept as the mere introduction of it leads to nothingness existing, but nothingness includes the absence of existence, thus it conceptually can't exist as it had become something. For something to exist, it must have some kind of presence, even if that presence is purely conceptual or abstract. However, nothingness is the complete absence of all things, including existence. Thus nothingness cannot exist as otherwise it contradicts it's own concept, it's existence. The moment nothingness is said to exist, it means we are trying to define a state where nothingness exists but nothingness isn't nothing if it is a state as it then becomes something.

              Have you finally lost it? Do you know what nothingness is? It refers to something that doesn’t exist. If you use it to refer to something that exists in any way then that is on you. Words do not have any material relationship with their definition. If i say there was nothing before the universe, then i am not now creating any material relationship with my saying nothing. Rather im simply describing it. In other words, i mean to say the universe never began. Nothingness refers to what doesn’t exist, we are not bringing anything into existence by labelling it as nothingness. You can feel free to try though
