In a world where every child awakens their magic at the age of ten, Alexander von Javier was already fluent in 3 languages before he could walk, reciting noble etiquette by age three, and dissecting ancient magic theory by seven.

Below is a deliberately vague, enigmatic English synopsis—one that hints at betrayals, hidden arts and shifting loyalties: In the twilight of a crumbling martial world, an arcane compendium emerges—its fragmented footnotes and marginal scrawls whispering of forbidden techniques and half-forgotten blood-oaths. Masters once revered have vanished into shadow, disciples now wheel in secret cabals, and every teaching conceals a darker purpose. Beneath the veneer of courteous etiquette, rival sects conspire: blessings turn to curses, confidences to betrayals. A single lost scroll might tip the balance of an empire, while a whispered clue could ignite a war. Prophecies flicker in the margins—will a fallen warrior rise again, or will the final secret claim both pupil and teacher? And through it all, an unseen hand watches. Every page trembles with portent: destinies are rewritten, alliances shattered, and the true price of power remains buried in the gaps between these lines.
