Dragon's Disciple

A brutal world where experts fight using magic enhanced martial arts. It starts with the magic core forming at age 5. Afterward you study a cultivation technique, allowing you to cultivate magic. You can focus this magic and become a mage, knight, or templar. Of course, no matter how powerful your magic is, you’ll need to study a martial art to wield it properly. Studying magic without a martial art is pointless, like carrying a giant hammer you can barely swing. Who’s going to stand there and let you hit them with it?

How will Li Vivein navigate the pressure of studying her various arts, facing various magical beasts and evils, and finding ways to finance her study materials? Everything unexpected seems to happen, so dealing with diversity is a must. What else is there? Ghosts? Demons? Cults? Honor killings? Intrigue? Theft? Rampant stupidity? I guess you’ll have to read her story to find out.
