Athen had always lived a solitary life, as without any family or friends, he struggled to survive in his poor, forgotten hometown. The only escape from this grim reality came in the form of tales of magic told by rare visitors from the distant capital.

That was, until one day, Athen discovered that magic wasn't just a dream. It was within him.

With his newfound power, Athen completed a desperate heist, stealing a priceless diamond. But his triumph was short-lived when he realized the diamond was a fake.

Yet... what seemed like a cruel trick turned out to be a blessing in disguise, for the fake diamond held the key to unlocking Athen’s greatest desire: the chance to truly learn magic.

Dressed in a white collared shirt and red vest, the workers glanced upward upon hearing the door open, smiled at Ren and Kai, and then looked back down at their desks.

However, recalling the height of the building from when he had seen it outside, Athen was confused.
