In a remote little town, a child found and raised by three old beggars unexpectedly enters an academy to study magic.
As he studies, he discovers that he has extraordinary talent, a once-in-a-generation genius whose cultivation advances by leaps and bounds. Later, an injury leaves him paralyzed from the waist down, but it also sets him on a path no one has ever taken before.
He eventually discovers that his origins are far from ordinary. The deeper he digs, the more he finds himself entangled in the war of the gods from a thousand years ago. Ahead lies a path his people call impassable.
Can the little beggar find a way through this so-called dead end?
