I woke up in a game I never played—stripped of choice, trapped, and doomed to die.
They gave me the Soldier class and dropped me into a barracks ruled by elves. No tutorials. No escape. Just endless drills, bruises, and the creeping realization that I’m not playing. I’m being played.
My masters are NPCs who think they’re real. The system says I’m here to fight their wars.
Then a hunting accident changed everything. I saved Prince Thalandril’s life, and now he trusts me more than his own guards. He calls me his shadow. He makes me his blade.
He doesn’t know the truth. Beneath the Soldier class the system displays, something darker waits. Something forbidden. I am a Mage in a world where magic is a death sentence. Every spell I cast risks exposure. Every level I gain makes me harder to kill.
As whispers of rebellion stir in the palace halls, my power grows. To survive, I’ll have to do more than hide. I’ll have to become an assassin in the prince’s service—and pray he never discovers what I really am.
