He’s not here to fit in. He’s here to break the system.
Once feared as the Shadow Archon, Ardyn ruled with unmatched power and command over forbidden spells. That life ended in betrayal—an ambush by those who feared him most.
Now, he wakes up in his younger body. Weak. Mortal.
His new reality? A cutthroat academy built to train spellcasters for a world ruled by stats, spells, and social hierarchy. They think he’s a nobody. They laugh when he fails his basic spell tests.
They have no idea who he really is.
Ardyn remembers every hidden dungeon. Every system exploit. Every magic path locked behind fake rules. And this time, he’s going to use it all—not to survive, but to dominate.
Level by level. Skill by skill.
He’s not just reclaiming his power.
He’s rewriting the game.
