The Arcane Monarch: Rise of the Ice Enchanter For years, Lucian Frost thought he had escaped his past. Once a prodigy at Vantaria Academy, he turned his back on the school, the magic, and the Crown Trials—the brutal competition that forges rulers. But when a summons drags him back, he realizes his past never truly let him go. The Academy isn’t just a place of learning—it’s a prison for something ancient and powerful. The Trials are not just a contest, but a ritual, and Lucian’s bloodline holds the key to its true purpose. Headmaster Uren watches him closely, guiding him toward a destiny he never agreed to. But Lucian is no pawn. As he competes, his latent magic awakens—an unrivaled power over ice and enchantment, tied to a force long thought lost. Yet with each battle, the shadows tighten around him. The Trials are not about crowning a champion. They are about preparing a sacrifice. Faced with ruthless rivals, ancient conspiracies, and an unstoppable force awakening within him, Lucian must seize his fate—or be consumed by it.

It can no longer rely on brute strength or sheer will but must adapt to its new life and seek out the true purpose behind its endless reincarnations. As war brews among powerful races, the black cat may be only one whose heart has remained unchanged throughout the ages.
