Escaping hard life by getting admitted to Academia of Magic and Mythical Arts, Reya finally gets some long desired stability and control over her life. With her current circumstances, she can only afford one hot meal a day. If she could successfully make it to her third year at the Academia in two weeks, both lodging and food would finally become free and she would be on a good path of becoming an Alchzard (powerful wizard wielding alchemy). But her research reached a very dead end, her path was drawn up long ago, and none of it is what she hoped for herself as she is thrown into the world head first. There is a game at play and she does not know the rules or see the players cloaked in shadows, looming and waiting. There is also something blocking her soulmate connection in a pivotal time of her life. He can sense her and will come after her no matter how hard she fights him. Is her resolve and soul strong enough to endure the betrayals, dangerous knowledge, and path carved out for her? Or will she be just a grain of sand under the bigger player's foot! Should she flip the table? She certainly has the guts for it. If she does, how will the cards fall?
