"In a world built on cutthroat betrayal, the greatest challenge is surviving when you are left all ALONE." Reborn into the brutal world of Genesis as the crown prince of the floating kingdom of Dakota, he finds himself trapped inside a gilded cage. Relying purely on raw intellect, he must carve a path through lethal magic, cutthroat academy politics, and devastating war—all while battling the lingering trauma of his past life. He will climb to the absolute apex. But when the dust settles and everyone turns their backs, survival is the only thing that matters.
