Thief of Truth

In a world where knowledge is power and truth is turned into a heraldry, the empire controls everything by monopolizing the inheritance of the "Heraldry of Knowledge". Eric, an ordinary library cataloguer, is a loophole outside the rules. He was born unable to condense crests, but he had the forbidden ability to steal other people's crests. He hides in the world, "borrowing" the wisdom of the world like a ghost to satisfy his thirst for knowledge. Until that day, out of curiosity, he stole an "ancient organ art" emblem related to the fate of the country from the imperial prince Ren. Overnight, the crown prince lost power, the political situation was in turmoil, and spies from all over the city came out to search for the non-existent "thief". Eric, who just wanted to be a quiet collector of knowledge, was forced into a deadly chess game of lies, conspiracy and power. When the monopoly of knowledge raises the butcher's knife, and when the cry for freedom is silenced by the high wall, Eric must make a choice - should he continue to hide and use the stolen power to protect himself? Or should he face the storm head-on and use his "unclean" hands to become the ray of truth that ignites... The first thief fire?
