Main Characters
Ermes
The protagonist of this story. A 15-year-old with silver hair and green eyes.
A boy who was once expelled from the Frenbreed Marquis House. Under Rose's guidance, he subsequently learned Creation Magic, becoming a mage who can theoretically learn all forms of magic.
Having lost something essential to his magic in his childhood — the heart — he has returned to the Royal Capital to learn it.
Currently, he refuses to return to his family home. With the Frenbreed Marquis House itself having fallen from grace, he remains in the same position he always had — a servant in the Trackia household, commoner status.
Magic
"Primal Inscription"
A Creation Magic developed by his master Rose, which he inherited after five years of training.
Its effect is the replication of magic. It analyzes the structure of any magic the user has seen, then reconstructs it based on the analysis to produce a nearly identical spell.
Once a spell has been successfully replicated, the user can freely cast it from that point on. With each replication, the caster grows infinitely stronger as a mage.
For this reason, its developer Rose has called it "the strongest magic."
Currently, he is able to replicate a wide variety of Bloodline Magic through this technique. He can also wield Apocryphal Magic — spells that replicate monster magic — as well as Enhanced Universal Magic, an improved form of General-purpose Magic.
Magic Inscription Liberation
Its effect is the creation of magic. By combining countless magical fragments embedded within a spell, the user can create new magic that produces any desired effect.
However, this is not without limits. The complexity of magic one can create depends on the caster's understanding of magic and their overall capability.
"Ashen World Tree"
His Unique Magic — the first spell he ever created using the Magic Inscription Liberation of the Primal Inscription.
A magic taking the form of a greatsword wreathed in purple flame, combining the Netherworld of Salvation, Fire Heaven Judgment, and various other spells he has acquired.
Even compared to Bloodline Magic, its firepower is on an entirely different level. On the other hand, it is inferior in terms of sword durability and handling. He is currently working on improvements in those areas.
Katia von Trackia
Ermes's childhood friend. A 15-year-old with purple hair and purple eyes.
The eldest daughter of the Trackia Duke House, a prestigious noble family. She is exceptionally beautiful — some even whisper that she is a "Night Fairy."
She was once mocked with the derogatory title "Flawed Lady" due to her inability to use magic properly, but that deficiency has since been resolved, and she is now one of the top mages of her generation.
She cares deeply about Ermes. When he was expelled, she regretted not having been able to do something about it, and even now she fusses over things and wants to keep him by her side. However, being fundamentally very kind-hearted, she is unable to push too forcefully.
Magic
"Netherworld of Salvation"
The Trackia family's most treasured heirloom, hailed as the strongest of all their Bloodline Magic.
Its effect is dialogue with the inhabitants of the underworld, resulting in the ability to summon spectral soldiers imbued with the will of a soul.
These soldiers possess extremely high resistance to both physical and magical attacks. Moreover, as long as the soul's will does not depart, they can be re-summoned any number of times with minimal magic power expenditure.
Additionally, the personality and nature of the soul are largely influenced by the caster's own temperament, due to the nature of this magic.
The effect of its Magic Inscription Liberation is currently unknown.
Sara von Hartmann
Katia's friend at the academy. A 15-year-old with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Born into the minor noble Hartmann Baron family, she was discovered to possess "Dual Aptitude" — the ability to wield two types of Bloodline Magic — and instantly became famous throughout the noble world.
Upon entering the academy, her renown and beauty caught the eye of the Second Prince, Aster. Subsequently, she ended up inadvertently taking the position of the Second Prince's fiancée from Katia, and had been tormented by one-sided guilt over it.
Currently, she is able to talk things through with Katia, and their relationship has never been better.
Magic
"Spirit Veil"
The first magic to manifest in her — a Bloodline Magic that a baron family's daughter should have had no right to inherit.
Its effect is barrier generation. It can swiftly and precisely erect appropriate barriers at any desired location, with a high degree of versatility.
Since the strength and properties of the barrier can be controlled to a considerable extent, she is currently exploring uses beyond its function as a simple barrier.
The effect of its Magic Inscription Liberation is currently unknown.
"Star Corolla"
The second magic to manifest in her — another Bloodline Magic not passed down in the Baron family.
Its effect is healing. It can alleviate not only wounds but also fatigue to a degree, and its activation is extremely swift. The mere presence of this magic dramatically boosts the sustained combat capability of allies.
On the other hand, it is ineffective against curses or residual magic power removal. It also consumes large amounts of magic power, making broad-scale or indiscriminate casting difficult — these are among its drawbacks.
The effect of its Magic Inscription Liberation is currently unknown.
Rose (Roselia Kirsch von Yustia)
Ermes's master. Red hair, blue eyes, age unknown.
Born as the Third Princess of the Yustia Kingdom, she is only the second mage in the kingdom's history to possess "Triple Aptitude." Everyone had been convinced she would be the next monarch.
However, due to her eccentric temperament and worldview, as well as her overwhelming talent that far exceeded all others, she was expelled from the Royal Capital and branded a "Witch."
Afterward, she pursued her own magical theories to their fullest and developed the Primal Inscription. Looking for someone without Bloodline Magic to inherit it, she met Ermes and took him on as her disciple.
Currently, she dotes on her disciple Ermes, enjoying his growth while also proactively exploring new possibilities for her own magic.
Magic
"Meteor Throne"
Her first magic — a Bloodline Magic passed down through the royal family.
Its effect is magical beam bombardment from the sky. Among Bloodline Magic, it boasts top-tier destructive power, and its characteristic of "descending from the heavens" makes it extraordinarily difficult to defend against.
Its range is vast as well. In terms of pure offensive capability, it could well be called the most powerful of all Bloodline Magic.
The effect of its Magic Inscription Liberation is currently unknown.
"Seamless Great Eagle"
Her second magic — a Bloodline Magic said to be a legend even within the royal family.
Its effect is flight. While other magic (such as wind-attribute spells) can serve as a substitute for basic aerial movement, truly flying freely through the sky is impossible without this magic. Its magic power consumption is low, and while it lacks direct offensive power, in terms of mobility support it stands at the very pinnacle.
The effect of its Magic Inscription Liberation is currently unknown.
"□□□□□"
Her third magic — its origin is unknown, its principle is unknown, and its very nature as magic is unknown. A heretical Bloodline Magic in every respect.
Its effect is also unknown. However, it apparently possesses offensive capability. Those who are struck by this magic face the absurdity of being unable to even defend against it because "nothing is known about it." It is the greatest black box among all her spells.
The effect of its Magic Inscription Liberation is unknown — and it is unclear whether such a thing even exists.
"Primal Inscription"
The Creation Magic she developed. For details, refer to Ermes's entry.
Unlike Ermes, she cannot freely manipulate Bloodline Magic. Instead, she employs Enhanced Universal Magic, strengthened through her profound understanding of magic. Its performance is on par with ordinary Bloodline Magic.
Antagonists (Chapter 1)
Aster Yozef von Yustia
Former Second Prince of the Yustia Kingdom. A 15-year-old with blonde hair and red eyes.
Raised from childhood by his exceptional magical talent, he grew into an arrogant prince who nonetheless forced admiration from those around him through sheer power.
Having once witnessed Ermes's talent and fallen into despair over it, he harbored a deep grudge and became obsessively fixated on Ermes.
Currently, he has been stripped of all his royal status and privileges and is locked away in a prison cell.
Magic
"Fire Heaven Judgment"
A Bloodline Magic passed down through the royal family, counted among its most powerful.
Its effect is flame and dominion. First, a single devastating strike of flame boasting overwhelming firepower; second, the flames of dominion that control his own body and the bodies of others. Those brought under dominion can be made to move beyond the limits of the physical body, at the caster's will.
Magic Inscription Liberation
Its effect is a straightforward increase in power during normal use. Firepower surges to extraordinary levels, and physical strength increases as well.
Additionally, although Aster did not use it this time (he had not yet mastered it to the point of using it in a liberated state), the flames of dominion also become far more potent than in their normal state.
Chris von Frenbreed
Ermes's older brother. A 20-year-old with silver hair and green eyes.
As a child, he was groomed as the promising heir to the Marquis House. But the moment Ermes was born, all of their father's expectations shifted entirely to Ermes.
This caused Chris to harbor deep resentment toward Ermes, and even after Ermes returned to the Royal Capital, Chris stubbornly refused to acknowledge his brother's strength — he could not afford to.
Now, having settled things with Ermes, he has found a degree of peace in his heart. To discover the place Ermes is striving toward, he has begun studying Creation Magic.
Magic
"Magic Bullet Archer"
A Bloodline Magic passed down through the Frenbreed family.
Its effect is the generation of magic bullets. These bullets possess high destructive power as well as the unique property of "enchantment." By imbuing them with an attribute, they can be transformed into powerful magic bullets skewed toward that specific element. Beyond that, depending on skill, they can also be enchanted onto other objects to serve as propellants, or enchanted onto one's own body to increase speed.
The effect of its Magic Inscription Liberation is currently unknown.
"Primal Inscription"
A Creation Magic he happened to inherit from Ermes. For details, refer to Ermes's entry.
At present, he has only just begun studying it and cannot do much. However, having obtained a textbook, his understanding will likely advance going forward.
Others
Zenos von Frenbreed
Ermes's father. Silver hair and green eyes, approximately 40 years old.
A man consumed by his desire for prestige. Having heard tales of the glory the Frenbreed family once held as a Duke House, he raged with ambition to restore that former glory himself.
To that end, he treated even his own children as tools and perceived everyone around him solely as instruments for satisfying his own pride.
Currently, he has been stripped of everything he had as a noble and is imprisoned as a criminal.
His Bloodline Magic is the same as Chris's — "Magic Bullet Archer."
Yurgen von Trackia
Katia's father. Purple hair and blue eyes, approximately 40 years old.
A former friend of Rose's, who shared her ideals and attempted to change the rigidly privilege-bound Yustia Kingdom.
In the end, Rose grew fed up with the Royal Capital and left, but he still considers her a good friend.
Believing in the ideals she taught him, he apparently continues to work in the shadows to this day to change the nation.
His Bloodline Magic is currently unknown.
Theta von Trackia
Katia's mother. Purple hair and purple eyes. Deceased.
A person who had an enormous influence on Katia's current worldview. She lost her life charging into a massive horde of monsters to protect the people.
Even now, she may be watching over Katia from somewhere in the underworld.
Her Bloodline Magic is currently unknown.
