Life at University
By @Jack Daniels
After a lifetime spent shielding his delicate younger sister from the harsh realities of their impoverished life, Elias finally arrives at the prestigious Crestwood University. His 'cheat' isn't some grand magical power, but an uncanny ability to perfectly manipulate social perception, making him instantly likable, trustworthy, and forgettable when convenient. His only goal: secure a scholarship for his sister, even if it means navigating the cutthroat world of elite academia and charming every influential figure in his path. But when a dark secret threatens to unravel the university's perfect facade, Elias realizes his manipulation skills might be Crestwood's only hope, or its ultimate downfall. Can he maintain his carefully constructed lies when real danger emerges, or will the truth expose more than just the university's flaws?
