Rosenbach Academy: The Forgotten Legacy
A hundred years after the Demon Invasion shook the world of Eartherios, magic has forgotten the price once paid for peace.
On the continent of Westerios, the once-glorious name of Rosenbach Academy—the final bastion of humanity—has been reduced to little more than a cruel joke.
The academy is on the brink of collapse.
Its buildings are neglected, debts are piling up, and both students and faculty have dwindled to a shadow of their former numbers. Talented mages abandon it for more prestigious institutions, leaving Rosenbach branded as the weakest academy—a dumping ground for commoners with no future. The Magic Council has already passed a bitter verdict: Rosenbach Academy will be shut down within one year.
Amid this slow ruin, a “problem student” comes back to life.
Cyrus Fon Ronsenburg, heir to the Ronsenburg family, is infamous as the academy’s greatest failure. He suffers from Condensed Mana Phenomenon (CMP)—a rare condition that renders his mana too dense and heavy for conventional spellcasting. He cannot release long-range magic, frequently suffers violent backlash, and is deemed a danger to himself and others. Coupled with a stained reputation built on countless false accusations, Cyrus has become the living embodiment of Rosenbach’s decay.
But no one knows the truth.
Within the body of Cyrus Fon Ronsenburg resides the soul of Cyrus van Bunansa—a legendary Combat Mage, direct disciple of Gerrad Rosenbach, and a war hero who once defeated the Demon King’s General and dealt the Demon King a fatal wound at the cost of his own life.
Now, burdened with the memories of two lives, Cyrus is forced to witness the cruelest irony of all:
The academy he once defended with blood and sacrifice… is dying without honor.
Rather than seeking revenge on the world or revealing his true identity, Cyrus makes a single, simple—yet utterly insane—decision:
He will restore Rosenbach Academy.
Not as a celebrated hero, but as the problem student everyone looks down on.
With sharp sarcasm, absurd choices, and training methods deemed “utterly nonsensical,” Cyrus begins to change Rosenbach from within. He turns CMP—once labeled a disease—into the cornerstone of an entirely new combat style: close-range Combat Mage, where excessively condensed mana transforms the body itself into a lethal weapon.
While the world laughs at him, Cyrus slowly proves that CMP is not a curse, but the next evolution of magic—granting him potential that may surpass even his former life.
Yet the rebirth of Rosenbach does not come without consequences.
In the shadows, the remnants of demonic forces begin to stir. Ancient artifacts awaken, forbidden contracts resurface, and the buried legacy of Gerrad Rosenbach starts to unveil secrets that were meant to remain entombed with the war of a century past.
Rosenbach Academy is more than just a building.
It is a symbol of a world that chose to forget.
And when that academy rises once more, the world will be forced to remember—that the Demon was never truly defeated.
