In a world where mysticism and steam industry coexist, cursed objects, the Reception Bureau, and Evil God fanatics...
That year, the King was bedridden with illness, the successor was inexperienced, and power slipped away, leaving the empire teetering.
That year, external forces gathered around the empire, and foreign civilizations eyed it covetously.
That year, the prophet delivered a prophecy that the era of civilization was nearing its end.
That year, Ethan arrived at a small town on the outskirts of the imperial capital. To survive in this perilous era, he began practicing Fireball Skill.

Years later, Ethan looked at the meteor falling from the clouds and realized there was a problem.

The beginner Magic he learned seemed a bit off.

The Hanged Man said, "Black Steel... No, Ignatius Vortigern, can you defeat this man?"


Black Steel felt a chill all over. He knew very well that what was before him was just an illusion; Ethan wasn't really there. However, the suffocating unease relentlessly invaded his dreams.


And after the Hanged Man made him see through the illusion, Ethan, who had his back to him, finally turned around.


His figure was flickering, and at this moment, Black Steel finally saw Ethan's face. It was nothing like a human or any creature he had ever seen before. His face was reduced to three cold red numbers—404.
