In a world where magical prowess defines everything, Reyon Phoenix is the youngest heir to the Phoenix House, the strongest magical family in the world. Despite being born into a prestigious family, Reyon has always struggled with his limited magical reserves. Unlike his genius ancestors, most notably his grandfather, Leywin Phoenix, a legend who used his superior control of magic to create the groundbreaking concept of Vector Magic, Reyon has never been able to unlock his true potential. At 25, after years of pushing his limits, Reyon has only managed to reach the 5th Circle of magic, the same level as his late grandfather. However, he knows he’s no closer to achieving the feats Leywin once accomplished, as Leywin’s techniques could manipulate mana in ways no one else could, transcending even the mythical 9th Circle.

As a member of Eclipsed Guardians, a small, often-dismissed hero group, he and his team are seen as failures—punchlines in the grand spectacle of heroism.
