1045 Mergoria Calendar—the world thrives under human dominance, while non-humans, particularly Elves, are oppressed as cursed remnants of a bygone era. Úlrey Nerrenvi, a fifteen-year-old Elven thief, survives in the Vento District slums by stealing, fighting, and evading city guards. Hunger and brutality are her daily bread, but rebellion is her only weapon.
Everything changes when Lys, a silver-haired Elven girl, arrives with a terrifying warning: the human regime has begun the systematic extermination of Elves under the Anti-Arcana Law—a decree branding all magic (and those associated with it) as heresy. Initially dismissive, Úlrey soon realizes the danger: Elves are vanishing, and the city's cruelty has shifted from exploitation to annihilation.
Lys leads Úlrey to the ruins of the Old Cathedral, where they uncover an impossible secret—a mysterious young man named Angga Sagara, unconscious atop an ancient magic circle. His clothes, language, and aura suggest he's not of this world. Worse, his presence awakens something long dormant: the forgotten power of Arcana, the magic most feared by humans.
Now, Úlrey and Lys face a choice: continue to run or fight back using a power declared extinct. But as the city's shadow deepens and Angga's origins are revealed, they uncover a truth far more terrifying than oppression—the Second Holy War is not truly over, and its final battle will begin with them.

This is a great book. The story is engaging, the writing is easy to follow, and the mystery is well-delivered.
A great start to a new story, highlighting the issue of discrimination in a fantasy story combined with an Isekai storyline, but a little different from most Isekai.
I loved it. Moreover, the elves here live in a more modern era than most stories, even those about forbidden magic. This further enhances the mystery of what lies within this world. I'm quite curious why the beginning of the story already mentions the year and the Holy War, even though the war in question is the second.Does it have anything to do with legally prohibited magic?
pretty good for someone new to a novel, I wish you'd update more often
It's cool, even though it's only the beginning of the story, but the mystery is immediately in Angga's character.
Thank you for all your support, and have read my novel, I will try my best for all of you
His moment of despair, wondering if he even deserves to live, gave me chills. The regenerative power seems like a blessing and a curse—really resonates on a personal level
This novel has a unique story and world building, and i'm not expect that there is a transmigrator MC. I think it's a fantasy-mystery novel, but this is more complex. I like it!
Great start! It's only one chapter, but I'm excited to see how the story goes.
Good start. The mystery about the man in unfamiliar clothes is intriguing. I like it. Keep the mysterious element and I'm looking forward to seeing how it unfolds slowly.
A great story. It's very rare that I find a story concept like this, unfortunately this novel is rarely updated. If possible, the author could update more frequently with each new chapter.
with the beginning of the story focusing on the oppression experienced by the elves, and ending with the appearance of humans from another world. making it an interesting plot to follow.
very good, I rarely find stories like this about his life living in the district and about the plot of there being a transmigrator
