For all his twenty-one years, Zephyr has been a cultivator of the Carefree Path and a martial artist. He always assumed he would take the vows and become a monk, but his plans are thrown to the wind when he receives a letter from the Grand Sage to attend the Schools of Elemental Magic. Gifted with the system known as the Codex of Ascension, Zephyr intends to master the various elements in record-breaking time. Alongside two other students who bear mysteriously similar origins, his school year promises to be more than he could have ever imagined.

After completing his first year at the Tempest School, Zephyr ventures into the realms protected by the Phoenix Knights. There, he will learn Inferno magic and delve deeper into the mystery of his origins. Joined by Nella and Vincent, he will discover what it truly means to be Caruthas reborn.

After battling and defeating the Unliving Empress, the trio travel across the continent to master their final element: Frost. Zephyr, Vincent, and Nella soon learn that their time in the Frost School will be unlike anything they’ve done before. Blight titans of immense power, infected by the Shadow’s taint, have arisen. They bear the forms of Ostar the Beast God: tortoise, cat, bird, and serpent. Even one of these cursed blight titans could spell the end of the world, let alone four. But the blight titans are not the only trials they will face. They know that Grand Sage Avora, their mentor and benefactor, has lied to them. But for what purpose? What dark deeds is he hoping to remain secret? The answers could lead to the total upheaval of everything they thought they knew about magic and their reincarnation. But the three greatest mages the world has ever known will face whatever comes as they have always done: together.
