Nathan awakens as Arlen Drayke, with memories from both his past and Arlen's life, in a world blending magic and monsters. After surviving a violent attack, he discovers a System in his mind that offers guidance and tracks his progress. Initially weak, he focuses on training, unlocking skills, and learning about his new environment. As he helps survivors and gains attention for his abilities, he must choose between hiding his strength or using it to influence the world. With uncertainty ahead, Nathan's journey is just beginning.

Months of relentless training and study passed, and Arlen's diligence paid off. He successfully completed the advanced classes at Rivenford's mage guild, earning the respect of his instructors and peers alike. The System recognized his achievements with a triumphant chime and an updated status:


Arlen's magical repertoire had expanded significantly—he could now weave intermediate spells, manipulate water with growing finesse, and wield shadow magic with near-mastery. His stats reflected both his intellectual growth and his physical discipline, marking him as a truly versatile adventurer.


With advanced classes behind him, Arlen felt ready for the next great challenge: the labyrinth beneath Lake Selis, and the secrets it promised to reveal.
