A dream that begins with a wandering mage's words, and is cemented when a desperate Adan walks into a deadly expedition just to earn his academy fees. But the earth that once cradled him as a seed does not let its children go unnamed. Hidden within him is a power unheard of in the magic world - one that would have him hunted out of greed, fear, and the promise of godhood if it were ever revealed.

And Adan must decide - How many souls is his dream worth? — “Why is that golem casting Time Freeze…?” “Who in the world would put a Time Crystal inside a construct?” — “Void Miasma is our clan’s forbidden weapon…” “So why does he have an army of golems using it?”
