Climate change, health issues, political crisis, food security, are just some of the top critical issues of today. Seeking help from a world-renowned fortune teller, Juliana Genovesi had been the go-to solution of world leaders for years. And eventually, it became the primary.
Lately, signs of inconsistency from the peace agreements from the World Leaders Association threatened its members. As a result, Juliana then predicted an endless war in the future. Desperation for protection and panic bothered the leaders that worsen the association's image.
Juliana stepped in and came up with a solution. Each country must pick a representative age 18 to 22. These representatives will enter an academy in Saithilien, a kingdom found in Parthenia. Parthenia is a fictitious world that appears in many myths.
Saithilien has the reputation of a chaotic country for decades in its world. It has been in the top list of mysterious deaths, unsolved crimes, and ghost stories. Weird beliefs also spread throughout the country.
The representatives will experience and witness the chaos on purpose. In this way, Juliana will see who'll survive and how the kids deal with it, and it will reflect their country's role and stand during the upcoming war. But, her true intentions, sending the kids to Saithilien was eventually exposed. Finding her true identity was her main goal.

Katsuro almost dropped, tired in climbing the stairs, panting hard. “What did you say.” He slowly approached Monique, who was sitting on the floor surrounded by books. “The Zels and Synesius have this connection with the Divine Ascendance.” She goes through with the books, flipped the pages, and eventually, she halted and stuck her fingers in one of the pages. “In the year 1118, it was stated here that King Cyrus and Queen Felina had only three sons. But..” Monique flipped back some pages. “It says here the year is 1110, they have three sons and a daughter.” Katsuro sat beside her, also looked at what was written in the book. Monique noticed that Katsuro’s face was too near to her. She slowly glanced at him and started to blush. The atmosphere became awkward, the silence intimidated Katsuro that made him look at Monique. Both of them were unconsciously staring at each other and some feeling of excitement and nervousness plunged Katsuro.
