||•CHARACTER INTRODUCTIONS•||

Every year, the empire's most gifted youth compete for a place at the legendary Institute - a school where mana shapes destiny and sorcery crowns the strong.

For five new students, the challenge has only just begun. Behind the grandeur lies a ruthless hierarchy where ranks decide everything: your power, your freedom... even your life.

Together, they must rise through the tiers, mastering ancient magic, surviving dangerous trials, and navigating rivalries as deep as empires. But the higher they climb, the more they uncover - secrets that could shake the very foundation of their world.

In a place where only the strong endure, will they find a way to change the game - or be consumed by it?
