Arakh Xei, despite an unfortunate childhood, stumbled upon a strange and hidden altar with his two closest friends—a discovery that seemed to be a stroke of luck. But fate had other plans. While his friends managed to escape, Arakh was left behind, trapped within the altar’s confines. For years, he remained inside, alone with the codex that rested atop the altar—a tome brimming with knowledge of enhancement. When Arakh finally emerged, the world he returned to was not the same. Time had moved on, but for him, it was as if none had passed. He remained the same boy who had first touched the codex, unchanged by the years that had aged everyone else.
