I JUST WANT TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE

CHAPTER 1

I JUST WANT TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE

Panel 1 — Kingdom Solaris

The morning sky was clear.

Golden sunlight spread across the enormous city of Solaris, one of the most prosperous cities among the Seven Kingdoms.

The streets were crowded.

Merchants shouted from their stalls.

Carriages moved through the roads.

Students wearing different uniforms walked toward the center of the city.

And standing at the heart of Solaris was a magnificent building that towered above everything around it.

SOLARIS GRAND ACADEMY.

The most prestigious academy among the Seven Kingdoms.

Only students with exceptional talent, noble backgrounds, or extraordinary achievements were allowed to enter.

But among the thousands of students walking through the academy gates…

There was one boy who wanted absolutely nothing to do with fame.

His name was—

Adryan Qawwiy.

⸻

Panel 2 — Adryan

A black-haired young man walked casually through the academy entrance.

His expression was calm.

His uniform was neat, but nothing about him stood out.

No expensive accessories.

No bodyguards.

No noble crest.

Just an ordinary student carrying a simple bag over his shoulder.

Adryan looked around.

Adryan:

“So this is Solaris Grand Academy…”

He sighed.

Adryan:

“As long as nobody discovers who I am…”

He looked at the massive academy building.

Adryan:

“…I should be able to live normally.”

He smiled slightly.

Adryan:

“Perfect.”

⸻

Panel 3 — Meanwhile…

Far away from Solaris…

Inside an enormous palace hidden beyond the borders of the Seven Kingdoms…

A group of powerful figures sat around a massive table.

At the head of the table sat a man wearing a dark royal robe.

His presence alone was enough to silence everyone in the room.

He was—

Qayyum Qawwiy.

The father of Adryan.

And the head of the Qawwiy Family.

One of the men standing beside the table spoke.

Man:

“Your Majesty… Adryan has arrived at Solaris Grand Academy.”

Qayyum slowly opened his eyes.

Qayyum:

“Good.”

The man hesitated.

Man:

“Should we send guards to watch over him?”

Qayyum shook his head.

Qayyum:

“No.”

Everyone looked surprised.

Qayyum:

“He doesn’t want protection.”

He paused.

Qayyum:

“He wants to live like an ordinary boy.”

A faint smile appeared on Qayyum’s face.

Qayyum:

“So let him.”

⸻

Panel 4 — Back at Solaris Grand Academy

Adryan entered his classroom.

Dozens of students were already there.

Some were nobles.

Some were commoners.

Some came from distant Kingdoms.

Adryan quietly chose a seat near the window.

He placed his bag beside his chair.

Then he looked outside.

The sunlight reflected across the academy grounds.

For the first time in a long while…

Adryan felt peaceful.

Adryan:

“This…”

He leaned back against his chair.

Adryan:

“…is exactly what I wanted.”

Suddenly—

BANG!

Someone slammed both hands onto his desk.

Adryan slowly looked up.

A blond-haired boy stood in front of him with a huge grin.

Boy:

“Hey!”

Adryan blinked.

Adryan:

“…What?”

The boy pointed at himself.

Boy:

“My name is Kael!”

He smiled confidently.

Kael:

“What’s yours?”

Adryan stared at him for a few seconds.

Then he answered calmly.

Adryan:

“Adryan.”

Kael smiled even wider.

Kael:

“Great!”

He pulled out the chair beside Adryan and sat down.

Kael:

“From today onward, we’re friends!”

Adryan froze.

Adryan:

“…We are?”

Kael nodded confidently.

Kael:

“Yep.”

Adryan sighed.

Adryan:

“This wasn’t part of the plan…”

Kael laughed.

Panel 5 — A Girl Enters

The classroom suddenly became quiet.

A beautiful girl with long silver hair walked through the door.

Several students immediately turned toward her.

Whispers spread throughout the classroom.

Student 1:

“Isn’t that Princess Elara?”

Student 2:

“She’s from the Celestia Kingdom…”

Student 3:

“She actually enrolled here?”

Adryan glanced at her for a moment.

Their eyes met.

Elara stopped.

For some reason…

She felt like she had seen those eyes before.

Adryan quickly looked away.

Adryan:

“Don’t get involved.”

But Elara continued looking at him.

And for the first time…

The peaceful life Adryan had dreamed of began to change.

⸻

Panel 6 — The Teacher Arrives

The classroom door opened.

A female teacher walked inside.

Everyone immediately returned to their seats.

Teacher:

“Good morning, everyone.”

The students answered together.

Students:

“Good morning!”

The teacher placed several documents on her desk.

Teacher:

“Welcome to Solaris Grand Academy.”

She looked around the classroom.

Teacher:

“You are all here because you possess abilities beyond ordinary people.”

Her expression became serious.

Teacher:

“But remember…”

She paused.

Teacher:

“Talent alone will not determine your future.”

Adryan looked out the window again.

He wasn’t interested.

He only wanted a quiet school life.

Friends.

Food.

Maybe a little romance.

Nothing more.

But somewhere deep inside his body…

Something was waiting.

A power that Adryan had spent years trying to suppress.

A power capable of—

destroying everything.

And the moment someone discovers the truth about Adryan Qawwiy…

The Seven Kingdoms will never be the same again.
