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.

There were countless normal explanations for the lamps being in the same exact place, such as the architect wanting to make everything symmetrical and neat, yet Athen's gut was telling him something was off.

The sensation coursing through Athen's body right now was almost the same as the one he had perceived before deciding to accept Kai's plan and go to the front row, where the top-ranked students were.
