Reborn as Lakshya in a vast and mystical world called Mahakaal Lok, he awakens with a divine Vardaan — a system-like blessing that allows him to harness every type of Shakti (spiritual power) and tap into Maya (illusion and mysticism).

But with power comes trials — forgotten enemies of the divine, cosmic secrets, and inner conflicts. As the world expands into the universe… and eventually the multiverse, Lakshya must ask: Is chasing every dream enough? Or is he destined to become something greater — a protector, a destroyer, or a legend reborn under Shiv’s silence?

Magic is order. Magic is law. At least, that’s what Airi Valeria Nachtal—twelve-year-old princess of the Elven Dominion and heir to the disciplined legacy of Manifold Arcana—was raised to believe. But when the reality of her crumbling world forces her hand, faith shatters. As a mysterious illness devours her kingdom and her mother—the Queen—fades into an unspoken oblivion, Airi finds that the certainty of arcane order may be the greatest illusion of all. With every passing moment, the stark truth becomes harder to ignore: the rules of magic, set in stone by ancient decree, hide darker forces beneath. Driven by desperation and the weight of duty, Airi embarks on a forbidden quest into the sealed Dungeon—a realm spoken of only in hushed legends. Its corridors twist in defiance of time and reason, where every shadow seems to whisper secrets and every echo hints at forbidden power. Within these depths, the laws of magic break down, revealing a dangerous possibility: that the true nature of arcane power exacts an unfathomable cost. Accompanied by two enigmatic children—Stalin Arkhangelsky, whose command of illicit magic taps into the infamous Shattercode and hints at a power beyond the established order, and Shiro, a mysterious boy strikingly void of mana who defies every expectation—Airi is forced to confront not just the external chaos of a collapsing realm, but also the internal unraveling of the truths she has held dear. Each step deeper into the labyrinth challenges her beliefs. As the Dungeon warps reality, bending and twisting the very fabric of magic, Airi begins to see the personal cost embedded in every spell and every incantation. Forbidden magic comes with a price that may well redefine who she is and what her kingdom—and even magic itself—truly means. In a world where every whispered secret and every forbidden incantation can reshape destiny, Airi must decide whether the order she was taught is a safeguard or a gilded cage. And as unseen ancient forces watch from the depths of this ever-shifting realm, she realizes that the path to saving her people may force her to sacrifice everything she once believed in.
