His Crest Card says RANK F. SUMMONER.

The son of Edmund Kane, SS-rank legend, the man who single-handedly dragged a dead profession back into relevance, and that is what the ceremony stone produced. An F-rank Summoner. A dead man's profession. His father's name attached to a rank that means nothing.

He already knew how to survive humiliation. House Harwick had been teaching him since he was eleven, the year their advocates, their bribes, and their fabricated debt records put his father in a detention cell and his family name in the ground.

Five years in Greyfen's lower city. Then Caldmore Academy on a scholarship. Then three years of being the quiet one. The one who covered for his team on every run and never asked for anything back.

[New Information: The Church of the Eternal Will seeks to widen the rift beneath the Caldmore dungeon. The lich is the same being from the graveyard—an avatar destroyed, its true form now revealed. The sealed entity is a fragment of the being that has been devouring worlds.]


Fire roared through Dominic's mind, igniting every thought with urgency.


The seal. The rift. The waiting entity on the verge of emergence.


The Church wasn't merely after the core or attempting to kill him; it aimed to rip open the fabric of reality itself. The dungeon wasn't just a prison for the monsters, it was a gaping wound in the world, and the Church sought to make it bleed. The Core would simply give the amount of power needed to accomplish that.
