In a world governed by the Archive, a relentless system that pushes humanity to its limits through brutal discipline and constant tasks, Kael awakens in a new body with no memory of his past.

His version of the Archive is different.

Its demands are bizarre, its punishments excruciating, and its rewards nonsensical.

While other strive for glory and power, he just wants to be left alone, dreaming of a quiet life and, ideally, a long nap.

But fate, and the ever-present eye of the Archive, have other plans.

Thrust into the continent's most elite academy and forced into a cutthroat competition fueled by ancient bloodlines and dark secrets, he finds himself on a path he never chose. He's not here to win, or even to survive with grace. He's just trying to dodge the next absurd task.

The smile that spread across Kael's face wasn't his own.

It was too wide, too sharp, too predatory.

The pressure on his chest, once suffocating, now felt like a gentle push.

He didn't just feel stronger; he felt… unleashed, like a damn had broken free in the depts of his body

Every nerve ending thrummed with a raw, almost divine energy, his blood burning with a righteous fury that drowned out all fear, all pain, all doubt.

His vision sharpened, the world around him snapping into stark, brutal clarity.

The Guardian, looming over him like a mountain of nightmares, suddenly seemed less like an unstoppable force and more like a challenge.

He let out a low, guttural chuckle, a sound that held no humor, only cold, unbridled power.

With a sudden, violent surge, Kael arched his back, his muscles coiling and unleashing a force that seemed impossible for his small frame.
