> He died a hero. He returned a weapon.
Aiden Varos, the Archmage of Flame, once stood at the pinnacle of the Empire — until betrayal shattered everything. Condemned by the very Empress he swore to protect, Aiden was executed as the sky burned with the flames of war.

[New Objective: Rewrite Fate. Survive. Conquer.]
[Penalty for Failure: True Death.]
Armed with the memories of a ruined future and a system bound to time itself, Aiden sets out not to save the Empire—but to reshape it in his image.
Enemies who once stood above him now crawl beneath his feet. Allies he once lost might yet be saved. And in the shadows, a far greater threat begins to stir—one that may demand more than even time can offer.
The clock has reset. The world has forgotten him. But he will remind them.
This time, the flames answer to him.
