[You have written the name: Eamon Castlehart] [You have successfully bound with Eamon Castlehart's soul core] [You have successfully gained Eamon Castlehart's new Spell, Whispering Blade] [You have attained instant mastery of the Spell, Whispering Blade]! — Descending from a family of powerful mages, Calem Morgrave had a bright future ahead of him, until an accident shattered his fingers in a manner that no magic could heal. And in a world where magic required your fingers to cast spells, a crippled mage was nothing but trash. Abandoned by his own blood and sold as a slave to an innkeeper, Calem lived a brutal life… until the day he found a strange scroll and a quill. This scroll possessed an undefeatable power: it could bind Calem's soul core to the soul core of other mages, stealing any spell they learn. But even worse—for them, while they try to master the spell, Calem gains instant mastery of it as soon as he claims it. There was only one problem. To bind with other mages, he must first write their names down on the scroll. That was a very difficult task for a boy with broken fingers. But every day, he forced himself to write, letter by painful letter. And once the name was complete, their Spells were his! Now, the Mage Academy and all of his family members watch in horror as the cripple they threw away instantly masters all their Spells that took them months to learn!

[(MUST READ)] Guide to the World of Signo Welcome to Signo, a world powered by its mystical core—the very heart that fuels all life, magic, resources, and invention. The closer one’s essence is to Signo’s Core, the greater their strength and abilities become. The Seven Continents & Their Graces Each continent is overseen by one of the Seven Graces, divine-like beings who govern different aspects of power and existence: Evascera – Domain of the Grace of Life Neuraleth – Domain of the Grace of Senses Elarith – Domain of the Grace of Space Yhrakka – Domain of the Grace of Beasts Ceravayn – Domain of the Grace of Mind Thorneal – Domain of the Grace of Death Chronisca – Domain of the Grace of Time Geography & Culture There are no countries in Signo. The Seven Graces rule all, and instead of nations, the world is divided into cities—each with its own unique culture and societal structure. The Vanderes – The True Threat The Vanderes are otherworldly invaders, often just as strong—if not stronger—than the Graces themselves. They are feared as the natural predators of the Graces, and their presence threatens the balance of the world. Power System: Magic, Warriors, and Craftsmen All power in Signo flows through a concept called Connection—the bond between one's spirit and Signo itself. Mages: Use magic through their Connection to Signo Fuel magic with mental strength (willpower > stamina) Can cast, summon, buff, and reshape elements according to will Stronger mages have unwavering mental discipline Most use magical weapons or mediums forged from resources near Signo's core Warriors: Cannot use magic, but have bodies directly connected to Signo Possess superhuman physical strength and endurance Born with combat-optimized traits that limit magic use Craftsmen: Experts in smithing, engineering, and invention Can detect and utilize rare resources with ease Can use magic, but only to fuse with creations or tools Their Connection aligns with utility, not offense Anomalies: Rare individuals are born with both mage and warrior traits—they are mysterious, powerful anomalies, and their nature is still not fully understood, and some anomalies have abilities that are completely astray from basic principles. Elements & Alignment Magic is categorized by elemental attributes. A mage’s Connection can determine their affinity: A tornado-shaped connection = Wind alignment A glowing molten core = Fire Crystalline aura = Ice or Earth And so on… Some individuals are capable of wielding multiple elements. Warriors manifest elements through their combat style and personality Artificers reflect elements in the materials they use and the devices they create The 10 Taboo Beasts There exist ten legendary beasts—creatures so powerful they rival even the Graces. They are rarely seen, nearly impossible to track, and their existence is whispered in fear. Status: UNKNOWN

Theo, a 20-year-old young man, died in the most cliché way possible, run over by a truck-kun. When he believed it was all over, a Goddess appeared before him, offering a second chance.

Now hunted by the world that cast him aside, torn between loyalty to a family that buried the truth and a growing rebellion in the shadows, Eryk must decide: Will he become the monster they fear? Or the savior they never saw coming?
