Matte suffers from vivid nightmares—fragments of an unremembered past. One day, he finds himself in the Void, an infinite, alien void without light or form. He’s met by a mysterious voice—disembodied but seductive—that provides no clues about its identity or aim. Without any sense of where he is or how he got there, Matte is suddenly wrenched from the Void and jettisoned back to Earth. Two hundred years have gone by, but he has no basis for understanding the strange, new reality of “null” that is already governing the world’s power structure. In the months that follow, as fractured memories return, Matte discovers an even more shocking fact: his return is not accidental, but the harbinger of something much, much bigger. He was destined for more than resurrection—his path will remake not just his past, but the future of the world itself.

Kaelan Mercer is a young and passionate teacher, freshly graduated and eager to inspire the next generation. However, his world is irrevocably shattered when he loses his only family member, his father, thrusting him into a chasm of grief. In a desperate attempt to bring his father back, Kaelan searches for the fabled "Grimoire of Revival," a mysterious tome rumored to possess the secrets of resurrection. During his relentless search, Kaelan stumbles upon an ancient library, where he accidentally activates the powerful magic within the book. To his dismay, he learns that the grimoire is not what it seemed—it is an ancient artifact of outworld magic that transports him to Starren, a vibrant realm brimming with magic and extraordinary beings, rather than providing the resurrection he sought. Upon his unexpected arrival at Aster Light Academy, the inhabitants mistakenly view him as a figure of immense power. In Starren, those of lower magical rank cannot sense the abilities of those higher than themselves, and Kaelan, devoid of any magical capabilities, is perceived as a powerful being beyond their comprehension. Amidst the admiration and reverence from students and faculty alike, he grapples with the weight of expectation and the façade he must maintain as an alleged paragon of strength. As he navigates the complexities of his new life, Kaelan is painfully aware that he is the weakest entity in the entire academy, vulnerable and in danger at every moment. Though he strives to honor his father's legacy and live a fruitful life in his place, he is burdened by the crushing pressure of his secret—that his supposed magic is nothing more than an illusion. Determined to uncover the true nature of magic and the secrets held within the Grimoire’s ancient power, Kaelan learns that understanding oneself can be more challenging than unraveling the mysteries of the arcane. Join him on a journey filled with humor, heart, and self-discovery, where the most powerful magic lies not in spells or illusions, but in the strength of the spirit and the bonds we forge along the way.

Alex Mercer never thought his life would end on a rainy night, skidding off a slick highway in his beat-up car. But death wasn't the end; it was just the beginning of his nightmare. Waking up in the fiery depths of hell, Alex faced Lucifer himself, a devilish grin plastered across the fallen angel's face. "You were destined for eternal torment," Lucifer said, his voice smooth as silk yet carrying the weight of countless damnations. "But I have a proposition for you." The deal was simple yet horrifying. If Alex wanted a second chance at life, he had to rid the Earth of Lucifer's escaped minion demons who had broken their chains and now wreaked havoc among the living. The reward? A ticket back to hell, but this time as Lucifer's lieutenant rather than a prisoner.

Armed with these abilities, Alex is sent back to Earth, but not as the man he once was. Now, he's something more a hunter, a reaper of the damned. Yet as Alex fights to send demons back to hell, he begins to question the true cost of the deal. What will remain of his soul when the last demon falls? And can he trust Lucifer, the Prince of Lies, to keep his word?
