My Magic Is Hard to Use

The protagonist first learns the truth about their world during the Appraisal Ceremony at the age of ten. Accompanied by their parents to a sacred temple, they kneel before the altar to pray to the Goddess, expecting nothing more than a traditional rite of passage. However, the moment the prayer is uttered, reality fractures, and they are abruptly transported into an endless, blindingly white void—a space entirely disconnected from the physical realm. There, standing before them, is not the divine feminine figure they had been taught to revere, but an impossibly beautiful man. His appearance is striking yet unnervingly artificial, resembling a flawlessly sculpted illusion rather than a living being. With an aesthetic reminiscent of a young action star from a nineties blockbuster film, this mysterious entity calmly introduces himself as the Goddess of this world. In this surreal white space, he begins to explain the fundamental truths of the universe, revealing that the protagonist has been living in an entirely different world all along, forever changing the course of their life.
