Summary of Book 1:
The story began with Nathan Fox, an eighteen year old magician with average talent in magic, as he goes to the Arcane Academy, the biggest academy for magicians in the world. Nathan Fox is a true immortal who cannot die no matter how much harm is done to him as his body will always revert back to how it was prior to any damage he takes, whether mental, physical, or magical. Which, if this were to be found out by any magicians other than those already in the know, would get him captured and experimented on immediately.
Nathan quickly began to navigate his way through his first semester at the Academy, making some new friends along the way along with meeting some instructors who were told by his doctor, a powerful psychopath within the Republic in his own right, to look after him and teach him. A doctor who is experimenting on Nathan in order to find out how he became immortal in the first place so that he can replicate the process.
During his time in the Academy, Nathan and his instructor Leo make up an excuse for his immortality that will only last for so long, blaming it on an incredibly powerful fire magic spell. But he is slowly beginning to gather more attention from those in higher positions, and the last book left off on his best friend Amelia’s aunt directly telling him to participate in the duels so that he can qualify for a position in the special class and advantages soon to be added to the Academy by the Council.
