Roman, an orphan devoid of magic in a society ruled by it, enrolls in the prestigious Merlic Academy only to face hardships and scorn. Yet, amid the academy's forbidden zones, he uncovers a dark, dormant power that clings to his touch. Embracing this new force, Roman's desperation turns to ambition, and with it, he begins to weave a plan not just to survive, but to subvert the very foundations of the mage-dominated world. From the depths of his pain, a quest for vengeance and control is born, and the once powerless Roman sets his sights on a future where he pulls the strings from the shadows.
