For three hundred years in the Arcane Continent, Emperor Augustus used his supreme magic to defeat the three kingdoms of Xingyun, Yanhuang, and Canglan, creating an unprecedentedly powerful Arcane Empire. The radiance of magic spreads all over the territory, the status of cultivators is respected, and all people are proud of the empire's subjects. Little do they know that beneath the prosperity, there are numerous bones crushed by power.
In the slums of the capital city of Verdun, young Eric has been alone since he was a child, struggling to make a living by working as a street handyman, but he is completely different from the fanaticism around him - he hides a secret that can shake the continent: his parents were patriots who resisted the tyranny of the empire, and died tragically under the emperor's magic butcher knife. This blood feud made him vow to overthrow the Arcane Empire since he was a child, and he killed Augustus, who had reached the eighth level of magic and was known as the immortal.
In an era when everyone believed in the glory of the empire, Eric was like a lone figure walking alone in the dark night, relying on his hidden special magical talent to find allies and hone his strength in the crisis-ridden capital. He must not only evade the pursuit of imperial agents, but also break through the shackles of magic, fight against the supreme power with an ordinary body, and use the fire of revenge to ignite a prairie fire that overthrows the dynasty.
