In a world where magic is coded, weaponized, and monopolized by powerful aristocratic families, Harvey was once a rising star—a commoner-born genius who rewrote the very laws of sorcery. But his brilliance made him a threat. Betrayed, falsely accused of heresy, and erased from history, Harvey’s story should’ve ended at the gallows.
But fate has a backdoor.
Waking up three years in the past, armed with forbidden knowledge and a cold, burning resolve, Harvey activates the Cipher Protocol, a mysterious system that lets him hijack, evolve, and corrupt existing magic codes. This time, he won’t play by the rules. He’ll bend them until they break.
Enrolling in Zenith Academy—the nexus of power, privilege, and secrets—Harvey hides behind a new identity, hunting those who wronged him while uncovering the hidden rot beneath the aristocracy. As magic evolves into data and bloodlines clash with intellect, Harvey prepares to rewrite the world’s fate line by line.
He won’t just survive.
He’ll overwrite destiny itself.
