Jackie Fortnite wakes up to find himself in a completely foreign world, in a lavish room that reflects the splendor of Victorian palaces, surrounded by towering walls, stunning carvings, and furniture overflowing with luxury and opulence.

In front of him is a mirror that reveals his new face: blond hair and blue eyes, features he's never known before, a new body carrying an identity he's never experienced before. The shock of being transported or reincarnated into another world intertwines with his strange curiosity and excitement; a world that seems as if it came out of the manga novels and stories he's loved since childhood.

Soon, a soft, careful voice knocks on the door, the voice of a girl named Emily, a loyal maid, who respectfully brings him tea and introduces herself spontaneously and delicately, marking his first encounter with this new world. Despite her beauty and delicacy, Jackie remains reserved. His introverted nature and his belief that human relationships are merely illusions keep him away from any emotional attachment. A mysterious blue screen appears before him, bearing his personal information: his new name is Aster de Phoenix, son of a noble family and descendant of the Nova Kron Empire, with specific magical abilities, compatibility with various elements, and an inactivated legendary bloodline.

Beside him, information about Emily Duque, the servant who has been serving Aster since the loss of her family, appears. It explains the purely practical nature of her relationship with him, confirming that any perceived affection or personal interest is merely an illusion. With these revelations, he realizes that he has become part of a novel he has previously read, "Heroes of the Forsaken Kingdom," in which Emily was one of the main characters, pivotal to the novel's events and a major role in the fate of the Phoenix family.

Details of the academy he will be joining, the talented knights, and the imminent danger surrounding him unfold before him, while his soul is seized by the intense imagination and dread resulting from foreknowledge of his unknown fate. Amid his astonishment, Aster/Jackie begins delving into the books and archives in the room, trying to understand this world, its rules, its magic, and its secrets, recalling some of his memories of the novel he has now become a part of.

With each new piece of information, the sense of dread and the dangers ahead increases, but he remains clinging to a faint thread of hope: the chance to rebuild a different life, a life in which he can be in control of his own destiny, not just a character following the events of a pre-written story
