One moment, he was just a university student, laughing with friends over their latest campaign in Depths and Dangers. The next, he was waking up in a strange alleyway—wearing fine, embroidered clothes, feeling power thrumming beneath his skin, and staring into a reflection that wasn’t entirely his own. Gine Silverbranch Walker. A name he once crafted for a game, now his reality. A level 30 Warlock-Sorcerer, trapped in a world of magic, intrigue, and danger. It’s been a year since his sudden arrival, and survival has meant playing smart, staying hidden, and making himself useful. Now, he’s secured a job at Iron-Port’s prestigious magical university, a rare opportunity to access ancient knowledge while keeping his own secrets buried. But secrets don’t stay hidden forever. Between the growing unrest in the city, the looming threat of powerful factions, and the gnawing question of why he was brought here in the first place, Gine must tread carefully. Because in this world, knowledge is power—and power is everything. Can he uncover the truth before it’s too late? Or is he just another pawn in a game far greater than he imagined?
