Cursed with a naturally low supply of aether, Arcus Raytheft is disinherited and shunned by his family. Things start to change when he experiences another man’s life through a dream—a dream that shows him marvelous technological wonders that don’t exist in his world. Armed with this new knowledge, Arcus sets about showing his parents that they were wrong about him. Surely an arsenal of mind-blowing spells will be enough to convince them you don’t need aether to succeed?

Arcus is still leveraging his otherworldly scientific knowledge to improve his magic. On hearing news that Lecia, his beloved sister, had been kidnapped, Arcus set off to rescue her, only to be thrown into the Holy Tower. There, he runs into an old friend...or rather, enemy. They say no one can escape the Tower, but if he doesn’t, there’s no telling what might happen to Lecia...

Having come a long way since his disinheritance, Arcus is introduced to his very own servant: Noah Ingvayne, the “winter wunderkind,” brought in not only to aid with Arcus’s invention, but also to help him further his magic and combat studies. Speaking of the aethometer, it’s time to introduce it to the Guildmaster... Meanwhile, Lecia’s father takes her to a party thrown by one Cau Gaston as preparation to take up the mantle of heir to the Raytheft house. Troubling rumors surround the party’s host, but surely Lecia is too young to have to worry about them...right? With dark dealings threatening his sister’s safety, it’s up to Arcus to face one of the most powerful nobles in the land.
