My world has been in darkness for as long as I can remember.
It is said that fifty years ago, the stars in the sky suddenly stopped rotating for unknown reasons.
Even the sun that illuminates all things has sunk beneath the sea level forever.
The town where I was born is called Mystia—the westernmost seaport on the entire continent, and the only place in the world where light can still be seen.
I am a magic researcher. In addition to writing reports, my daily work also involves maintaining the operation of the Atchley Clock Tower.
When resting, I often look at the remaining afterglow below the sea level.
Hmm... You can vaguely see a glowing gap, which should be the so-called "sun".
In this way, I can be considered a person who has seen the sun.
But even so, our generation is still jokingly called the "invisible generation."
My character is not a good one, it can even be said to be... A bit extreme.
Eighteen years ago, in the sixth month of my enrollment, I received the "Branding Pledge" from my teacher.
I knew then that this so-called oath was not really binding. It is just a procedure used by the school for psychological evaluation of young wizards after their magical imprint is initially formed. Perhaps, this can also be used to gain a glimpse into the family environment of the students.
Apparently, no one cared what I would write on my oath.
That day, in front of the mirror, I wrote an oath that I will never break:
——I swear on my life, I, Sophia Moon, regard magic as the absolute truth and will never betray it in this life.
If there is any disobedience, I am willing to be burned by fire and my spirit and form will be destroyed.
…
…
"It's great that the oath has come true..."
"…Thank you."
Intention: Great passion, only when people are truly alive can they burst out with great power to break the powerful.
