In a world where strength rules, Cain Ashford is just another background character or so he believes. Enrolled in a prestigious academy for warriors and mages, he spends his days playing the role of a low-key side character while secretly fantasizing about running a shadowy faction… just for fun.
But unbeknownst to him, his every word shapes reality. He is the reincarnation of the Abyssal Tyrant, a legendary overlord feared across history. His former subordinates, now elite students, teachers, and operatives, have recognized him and they’re determined to help him reclaim his throne. Meanwhile, an enemy from his past lurks within the academy, manipulating events to erase him before he regains his power.
As Cain unknowingly outmaneuvers his foes, his legend begins to rise once more. Will he ever realize the truth, or will he continue playing the greatest role of his life while unknowingly reclaiming his destiny?
