Magic has rules.The world has laws.And the Sea of Rules collects what you owe—eventually. Charles isn’t a chosen one. He’s an academy nobody with talent that’s almost enough to get him killed slowly. Then he finds a System Marketplace that sells the things respectable wizards pretend don’t exist: outlaw spells, bloodline upgrades, void-touched relics… and demon contracts—all priced in Soul Credits. Every purchase makes him stronger.Every purchase also writes a new line into a ledger he can’t erase. The White Wizards call him a criminal. The demons call him an asset.The Sea of Rules doesn’t care what he’s called—only what he owes. So Charles does the only rational thing. He learns to weaponize debt.
