When 24-year-old historian Ian Grey agreed to go on a simple hike with a friend, he hadn’t expected to vanish into thin air.

He awakened in a parallel universe, one that resembled Earth’s past… but twisted. In this world, magic ruled, and women wielded nearly all of it. They were the rulers, the generals, the queens — and men lived in the shadows of their power.

But Ian was different.

He discovered a rare affinity for elemental magic, one that rivaled even the most powerful of the world’s ruling Divas. As uprisings stirred and ancient tensions resurfaced, rumors began to spread — whispers of a man whose magic could either balance or destroy the fragile world order.

Thrust into a realm of dangerous beauty, political intrigue, and raw power, Ian uncovered an ancient method to strengthen his abilities: intimate connection with magical women. But power came at a price — and the Divas did not fall easily.

To survive, he had to adapt.
To rule, he had to rise.
To win that world, he had to conquer its Divas.

The queen's gaze lingered on Ian as she stepped closer, her expression heavy with thought as though she were weighing every detail of his posture and his face. She circled him slowly, her eyes narrowing as if she were examining a relic rather than a young man who had stumbled into her world. Finally she stopped before him, her tone both stern and laced with concern. She told him plainly that his frame looked frail, that if he were to stand before queens and kingdoms as the heir he was claimed to be, he would need to gain strength and learn the ways of magic from the very beginning. Her words carried the finality of command, but Ian could only scoff in return. His lips twisted with a tired smile that was not born of amusement but of resignation. It all felt too much, too heavy, and the path they were setting before him seemed endless when he had not even taken the first step.
