Manoucka_Ngono
Twenty years ago, a cataclysmic event recalled as the Great Betrayal shocked the world of Aethoria. The angels, who were supposed to be the guardians and protectors of the world, betrayed the Magnii's trust. The angels, who had always been considered superior and divine beings, began to crave power and domination. They discovered the Magnii possessed life energy that could be used to make them even more powerful. The angels decided to take control of the world of Aethoria and use the Magnii as a power source. They developed devices to drain the Magnii's life energy, rendering them weak and dependent on the angels. The Great Betrayal had devastating consequences for the world of Aethoria. Humans and Magnii were enslaved, and the angels gained complete control of the world. The Magnii, who had always been respected and admired for their powers, were persecuted and hidden. The world of Aethoria was plunged into darkness and fear. The world lives in fear of the angels, who have become cruel and merciless tyrants. The Magnii, who had always been the guardians of the world's balance, are now forced to hide and fight for survival. Our story focuses on a group of eight individuals seeking freedom in a world oppressed by the powerful.

Philip never expected his new life to be so… complicated. When a tragic accident in the modern metropolis of Bortinto abruptly ends his struggle for survival, he wakes up as the scandal-ridden heir of a ducal house in a world where magic and science coexist. Any fantasies of an easy, heroic life vanish the moment he realizes that the estate that he is tasked with managing is drowning in debt, and his reputation has been shredded by rumors involving his predecessor’s broken engagement to the socialite Lady Rosetta—the granddaughter of a prince.
