By the end of Fifth Eon, the world had been targeted by the onslaught of outer gods, leading it to be overrun by monsters and otherworldly creatures. Rifts tore open and from those fractures came horrors monsters, aberrations, things that did not belong to this reality. Cities fell and kingdoms burned, while entire continents turned into graveyards. Just when humanity was on the verge of peril, the apocalypse stopped and zones started to appear. Forsaken Lands where the rules of the world no longer apply. Every year, those who turned eighteen has to go through awakening and summoned to the zones. Some of them returned as legends, while some perished in the dust of time. Once awakened, a higher Tier Class could let even a commoner leap over dragon gates and soar across the world. In this world, power was everything. A single awakening could decide your fate. A high-tier class could turn a beggar into a king while low-tier class was like a death sentence. The ones who awakened top-tier stood above everyone else, like kings and rulers who could decide the fate of others with just a word. Reigns, who was just an average nobody joe, suddenly found himself transmigrating to this world. And now, after transmigrating into such a world, Reigns realized a problem. His predecessor did not awaken any world-defying class or any skill. Instead, he awakened a support-type class. Farmer class. Are you kidding me? What could it even do in front of monsters that could trample the world with just their roar? His chest tightened, and a bitter feeling rose inside him. For a moment, he felt like everything had already ended before it even began. Just as he thought his life was over, a sudden cold mechanical voice echoed in his mind. [Scanning the class and information.] Reigns stiffened slightly, his eyes widening as he looked around, trying to find the source.

While standard skills and classes are bound by the Tier Cap, this skill allows the user to break through limits. Any owned skill or class can be forcibly evolved beyond its peak. A new class and new talent. A class that allowed him to summon a Plant Legion to fight, and they would level up alongside him. With this power, he could build an entire legion. An army that would obey only him. An elite force of plants with various abilities, growing stronger with every battle. And with this power, he would craft his own legend through blood and terror.

‘Luna Eir Seraphinus,’ he said. Something in my mind ticked. Why does it sound oddly familiar? ‘The Primeval Magician of the Magus Turrim,’ he continued. ‘The Emperor’s personal magician.’ ‘I’m a what??’ my brows furrowed until my head hurt. ‘For whom???’ ‘A magician,’ he repeated. ‘For the Emperor of Sirius, Lucilius Yves Theodore.’ Who!? Theodore… Theodore… I knew that name from somewhere… I closed my eyes, trying to remember. Sirius… that sounds very similar to the country that I… read… from… “The hateful Emperor of Sirius was hanged in public, which serves as a reminder for the people of how the brave Crown Prince of Alshain defeated the emperor of a neighboring country.” It can’t be… For some reason, that very phrase appeared in my mind. And I can’t believe that I am about to say this but… Isn’t it… The web novel!?

Zayn and Joselu walked behind the princess, ignoring the curious and judgemental stares directed their way. Zayn exchanged glances with Joselu like they were both thinking the same thing. Even though the princess was on their side, they couldn't say the same for the queen or everyone else in the Ragaounian Kingdom. As they made their way to the palace throne room, Zayn thought about the possible interaction with the Queen. What if she orders for their death even before they open their mouths to speak? Same way your mother was brutally butchered Zayn grew cold at this own thoughts and he pushed them to the back of his mind. A dark look settled on his face, his jaw hardening and brows puckered. If he had to put up a fight to get the queen to listen to him then so be it. Two guards stood at the giant door to the throne room. They took one glance at Zayn and Joselu and nearly took out their swords but one stern look from the princess kept them still. “Open the doors." She ordered. The guards opened the doors with much reluctance and the princess made her way into the room with the two young men following her. Queen Anaya, the princess’ mother sat on a golden throne at the other end of the vast room in all her glory. Her royal robes adorned with expensive jewels and precious stones. Her amber eyes, fiery and bold, turned to the three who walked towards her and the two young men couldn't help but momentarily freeze. She exceeded so much aura and power, and still so fiercely beautiful. Zayn looked at the princess and smiled, the apple certainly doesn't fall far from the tree. “Mother." Princess Xantheia greeted with a slight courtesy. But before she could say any more, Queen Anaya recognized Zayn and she flared. She stood from the throne, clutching her robes in anger. “Xantheia what is this madness? Why do you bring this enemy to my presence!?” "Mother, I can explain…" Xantheia was interrupted and things escalated when Queen Anaya ordered her guards to seize Zayn and Joselu. Exactly what Zayn had feared. But he wasn't going down that easily. Taking notice of one of the guards about to grab him, he moved quickly, avoiding the guard and kicking him to the ground. “Get him!" The Queen screamed in anger. “Zayna is my mother!" Zayn shouted at the top of his lungs. Queen Anaya froze at the revelation, her eyes widened in shock as she stared at him. "Zayna has a son?” She wondered.

In his first life, he was Subject 001—raised in a sterile, windowless room, conditioned to master every academic discipline, martial art, and strategic theory known to humanity. He was the ultimate human weapon. Yet, despite possessing unmatched intellect and lethal skill, he possessed no heart. He couldn't feel warmth, empathy, or love. After tearing down the corrupt agency that created him, he bled out on a cold floor, dying with a single unfulfilled desire: to truly love someone, and be loved in return. Instead of eternal darkness, he wakes up in the body of Julian von Eisenhart, the third prince of the mighty Eisenhart Empire. But Julian’s reputation is a disaster. He is obese, indolent, gullible, and hopelessly infatuated with a manipulative baron's daughter who uses him for his status. Despite his flaws, Julian's family—the Emperor, his happily married older brother, and his protective older sister—doting on him endlessly because of his pure, softhearted nature. To protect him from his own foolishness, the Emperor arranged Julian's engagement to Lady Seraphina de Valois, the daughter of the Empire's richest Duke. Seraphina is a devastating beauty known throughout the continent as the "Ice Duchess"—a ruthless, highly capable woman who treats everyone with cold disdain. Except Julian. For reasons unknown to the world, she has cherished him deeply since childhood. The original Julian spurned her, chasing a shallow illusion. But the new Julian—armed with the absolute genius of his past life and a memory of reading this exact world's history in a web novel—sees the truth. Determined to rewrite his fate, Julian discards his pathetic habits. He begins a brutal physical transformation to match his hyper-competent mind, acts as a quiet, powerful advisor to his father behind the scenes, and sets out to accomplish one goal above all else: give Seraphina the devotion she deserves and finally learn what it means to feel.
