In a medieval fantasy world, young Atlas Daybreak's life is shattered when his estate is attacked, leaving him the sole survivor. His mother, a light-wielding swordswoman, and his father, a dark-wielding mage, fall in the attack. Their combined bloodlines give Atlas the rare ability to mimic spells as shadows. Captured and tortured by enemies wanting to exploit his powers, Atlas escapes and joins a group of adventurers. In the capital, he excels in magic exams, gaining entry to a prestigious school. Atlas must learn to control his powers and decide his destiny.
