What if you had unlimited power, but it wouldn't listen to you? What if you awoke inside a dark, confined space that smelled of stone? So tight that you couldn't sit up and so dark that your fears run wild? What if every time you tried to escape, something would put you back to sleep again, and again, and again? This has been Matthias' life for as long as he can recall. He can't remember anything from the past beyond his own name. Vague, fuzzy memories dance in the distance as he struggles to remember, but the harder he tries, the more he forgets. He's lost count of the times he's awoken to bang on the ceiling and be forced back to a tormented slumber. Finally, he snaps and power, chaotic and furious, swells from deep inside him. However it refuses to listen to him, and soon he will find out that nothing, not even his own body, belongs to him.

-Temporary synopsis.

Author's note: This is a high fantasy adventure story, with elements similar to stories like The Beginning After The End, The Primal Hunter, or The Arcane Emperor (RIP I still check that series, lemme know if anyone else is heartbroken over it too) you'll also enjoy this one. I have will have a heavy focus on character development, clear progression, strong themes, and making Beyond Control a slow (but riveting) burn lol. It would mean the world if you all would drop a follow and lemme know what you think, all criticism and advice welcome.

Also, this story in a way satisfies a soft spot I've got for aura users, who get inevitably shafted by MC magic mains. So I thought it would be cool to give an aura build some protagonist spice.
