Van, feared as the strongest assassin in a world ruled by magicians, earned his title without ever wielding magic. Relying on unmatched combat skill and vast knowledge of sorcery, he fought in the shadows to secure the throne for his best friend—the prince. His true goal was to protect his own persecuted people, the only race born without magic. But at the end of the brutal succession war, Van’s loyalty was betrayed. His closest friend murdered his family and left him for dead. When Van opened his eyes again, he found himself ten years in the past. Granted a second chance, he refuses to walk the same path. This time, his decision is clear: he will rise to the very top of the magic academy—without magic. Thus begins the tale of the world’s greatest assassin, rewriting destiny from the shadows of the classroom.
