Iris's future was supposed to be perfect. As the top graduate of the prestigious Royal Magic Academy and heir to one of the most influential noble families, her future was meant to be filled with honor, prestige, and success. But on the day she leaves the academy, everything falls apart when she's kidnapped and taken to the lawless Magic City of Osiris to be sold on the black market. Just when all hope seems lost, she encounters the last person she'd ever expect to rely on—a reckless guild mage known only as Ryutaro, the infamous "Magic Guild's Joker." A wildcard feared by enemies and dreaded by allies, his unpredictable nature has earned him a reputation as the guild's greatest headache... and its strongest trump card. During their desperate escape, the two accidentally awaken an ancient forbidden relic known as the Rings of End, binding their lives together with a deadly curse. From that moment on, their fates become intertwined, and an irreversible condition is placed upon their lives: If they fail to reach the mysterious "Perfect Ending," they will die together. Their only chance of survival lies in fulfilling an ancient prophecy and reaching the mysterious "Perfect Ending." With no way to remove the curse on their own, Iris reluctantly joins Ryutaro's magic guild. Forced to travel together despite their completely opposite personalities, the unlikely partners journey across a world filled with dangerous monsters, ancient ruins, rival guilds, and forgotten legends in search of the truth behind the Rings of End—and the meaning of the Perfect Ending. As the countdown to their shared fate draws ever closer, the two must learn to trust one another despite their clashing personalities. But with every new adventure comes another mystery, and the answer they seek may force them to choose between changing the world's destiny... or accepting their own. To survive, they must find the Perfect Ending. Because if they don't... Their story will end together.
