Percy Avalon is born into a rigid caste system with the lowest possible mana core — effectively worthless in a world where bloodline determines destiny. But his soul magic, dismissed as useless, turns out to let him send a fragment of himself into dying bodies across distant worlds. He returns each time with forbidden techniques, new knowledge, and a second core seed — building power one dangerous world at a time.
