Can a Good-for-Nothing Mage Reach the Top with an Ancient Spellbook?

In this world, where magic and humanity coexist, some people gained power and did as they pleased. Eventually, the evil mages and the holy mages fought a great war. The righteous side won, but only at the cost of devastating casualties, and mages became scarce.

My name is Mu Ling. Great hopes were placed on me from birth, because my grandfather was one of the survivors of that great war, and both my parents had magical power. But when my grandfather tested me for magic, he found no trace of power in the magic stone within my body. Still, they didn't me. Instead, they sent me to a magic academy, hoping I would awaken my abilities there. Then one day, on my way home, I stumbled upon an ancient spellbook. Little by little, I began my climb to the top!
