In the ancient times, the God of Astral was once revered as the most powerful of all gods, commanding the limitless powers of the stars and the universe itself. But his unparalleled strength incited jealousy and fear among the other gods, who conspired against him. They stripped him of his followers, cast him out from the heavens, and erased his name from the annals of history. The once-mighty god was left to drift in the void, forgotten and betrayed, while the world moved on without him.

Centuries passed, and the God of Astral became a mere whisper in the wind, a myth lost to time. Yet, in the present day, at the prestigious Academy of Magic and Sword, a student named Asterius is the only one who remembers him. Asterius is weak, bullied relentlessly by his peers for his lack of magical talent and swordsmanship. Day after day, he suffers in silence, his spirit crushed by the endless torment. With no hope left, he contemplates ending his life, feeling utterly alone.

But just as the darkness begins to consume him, a voice calls out to Asterius—a voice filled with ancient power and sorrow. It is the voice of the God of Astral, who has been watching over him, recognizing the same loneliness and pain that once plagued him. The god sees in Asterius a kindred spirit, someone who has been betrayed and abandoned by the world, just as he was.

In his final moments, as Asterius's life fades, the God of Astral offers him a choice: to let go of life, or to become something greater. With his last breath, Asterius accepts the god's offer, and the God of Astral transfers his soul into the dying student's body. Asterius dies peacefully, and the God of Astral is reborn.

With his return, the God of Astral reclaims his powers, now inhabiting Asterius's body. He joins the Academy once more, but this time, he is no longer the weak and timid student he once was. Armed with knowledge of every magical element and sword technique, he embarks on a journey of revenge against those who wronged him, and to reclaim his rightful place as the most powerful god.

However, the path of vengeance is fraught with danger, as the other gods sense his return and seek to destroy him once again. But this time, the God of Astral is determined to succeed, for he now knows the true cost of betrayal and the strength that lies within the pain of being forgotten.
