Mark was more than just smart—he was a genius, a self-made prodigy who mastered everything yet claimed mastery over nothing. Dubbed the "Jack of All Trades" in his world, Mark thrived on relentless effort and versatility, proving that hard work could outshine even the most gifted. But when an unexpected death tosses him into a realm where magic reigns supreme, Mark isn’t awed—he’s annoyed. Offered the chance to wield powerful spells like everyone else, he scoffs.

In a world obsessed with magical power, Mark’s refusal makes him an anomaly. But his adaptability, knowledge, and unconventional tactics turn him into a force no one saw coming. What happens when a man who excels at everything, yet claims mastery over nothing, becomes the greatest threat in a world of magic?
