Every victory, even the smallest, comes at a price.
The enemy may be gone, but far more dangerous foes are already stirring in the shadows, preparing to strike. At the same time, the tide of evil monsters pouring through the Breaches does not just continue—it surges, growing stronger by the day. And the cause, it seems, lies with those who, for reasons unknown, persist in using nithstangs: cursed artifacts of ancient origin that bring harm not only to ordinary citizens but to seasoned Magisters as well. The Imperial Guards and the Order of St. George are stretched thin, barely managing to hold the line. So how is a high school student like Vladimir Volkov supposed to survive, let alone fight back? He is, after all, an ancient sorcerer reborn. And a job is a job.
