My Immortal Loveless Life

When best friends Alex Heartrock and Oliver Hexblade are pulled through a mysterious portal in their local arcade, they're thrust into a world where magic is real and power is everything. Mistaken for two late students at Soul Lock Academy, they're forced into an Awakening Ceremony that will change their lives forever. During the ceremony, both young men are offered the rarest contract in over 500 years: Immortal Mastery—a Soul Lock ability that promises godlike power and eternal life. The catch? Absolute celibacy and complete isolation from romantic love. Any physical intimacy causes pain, any emotional attachment brings sickness, and the path to ultimate power is paved with loneliness. For the first time in centuries, all five people offered this contract accept it. Alex discovers he's been stuck with the weakest starting ability set—Cosmic powers that sound impressive but pale in comparison to the other disciplines. Oliver gets mystical abilities he barely understands, along with Flicker, a sarcastic white raven familiar who never misses a chance to critique his summoner's incompetence. But their problems are just beginning. Soul Lock Academy is no ordinary school—students actually die here, whether in training accidents, sanctioned duels, or simply from being too weak to survive. The Placement Exams pit over a thousand first-years against each other in brutal combat, where only the top fifty advance directly and the bottom fifty are expelled immediately. As Alex and Oliver fight to survive, they must navigate: - A mysterious mistaken identity—why do they share names and faces with students from this world? - A cosmic contract that punishes them for the very connections that make them human - Vespera Astraen, the top-ranked Elemental user and fellow Loveless Immortal who's marked them as enemies - Clara Clear, a beautiful Mental Class student who Alex is dangerously attracted to—and who may be hiding secrets of her own - The reality that three other Loveless Immortals walk the Academy halls, each with their own agenda Armed with abilities that level up through a skill acceleration pill earned in a dream trial, Alex and Oliver must prove themselves worthy in a world that values strength above all else. They'll face impossible odds, make difficult choices that hurt the people around them, and discover that the price of immortality might be too high to pay. In a school where friendship is a luxury and compassion is a weakness, two boys from Earth must become something more than human—or die trying. Bare with me sorry for the edits i started writting this as just the contest entry but i have fell in love with the concept and story so decided to put a lot more thought and effort into the storyline plot and world building so i had to go and make a lot of changes to what i initially wrote to make it align with what i have planned.
