Thousand Tongue Mage

Sticks and stones may break their bones, but words also will. Sixty years ago, rifts opened and giant magic-blooded bugs descended upon humanity. They were named the ‘Swarm’ for their fierce, insatiable hunger for human flesh—but Zora Fabre is just a language teacher in a hidden castle academy. His only wish is to protect his students from the human-insect wars outside the academy, and preferably? He’ll never come in contact with a single bug. But when the Swarm finds the academy and floods in one night, Zora is forced to accept a system—and a rare magic that turns his words into reality. The catch? He has to believe he can actually manifest his spells even without his magic, and that's not as easy as it sounds. Armed with his new magic, a spell-slinging wand, and his ability to speak every tongue in the world, he must accumulate power, rewire his imagination, and defend his students from the invading bugs. If he can’t, they’ll devour everyone standing in their way, and the more voices they steal, the stronger they’ll get. He'll curse them with a thousand spells before he lets that happen.
