Story Guide

Episode 1

Ricken has mastered every spell tome in his master's library — yet Toland still calls his sorcery weak. Bored and suspicious, Ricken opens a book his master warned him never to touch, and his magic surges stronger than ever. What he doesn't know: Toland has lied for years, calling him talentless "to keep him humble," and secretly fears what Ricken could become. When Ricken demands a sparring match to prove himself, Toland refuses, afraid of being exposed. The tension snaps when Ricken challenges him outright — and Toland realizes his careful act is falling apart.

Episode 2

Toland sets a rigged test: land one punch, or be driven out for good. Ricken pours everything into the strike — and Toland barely survives it, hiding the damage behind a calm face. He declares the punch pathetic and casts Ricken out after ten years of training. But as parting mercy, Toland reveals the truth he's withheld: he found Ricken as a child near Blackstone City, wearing half a pendant that may lead to his family. Ricken leaves to search for them. Alone, Toland admits the punch nearly killed him — and that Ricken's power is already master-level.

Episode 3

Ricken says goodbye, promising to return once he finds his family, while Toland struggles to keep his composure — and his secret — until Ricken is gone. The moment Ricken leaves, Toland finally releases the force of that punch, stunned by how terrifying Ricken's magic truly is. He concludes Ricken is strong enough to stand alone. Then a darker thread surfaces: years ago Toland signed a contract with the Ancient Sorcerer Academy, and its time has come. Meanwhile, on the road, Ricken's worn pendant suddenly reacts for the first time in twenty years. Could his family be close?

Episode 4

A proclamation from the lord's castle: Lord Alden was ambushed and struck by an evil spirit arrow, and a hundred pounds of gold awaits whoever can cure him. Ricken sees his opening — heal the lord, and gain help finding his family. Inside, General Gaines and the sorcerer Seth both fail to draw the arrow; the evil force is too strong. Alden, fading, tells his adopted daughter Kate that Blackstone City will be hers to protect, and makes her promise to tell his lost son he never meant to lose him. Then word arrives: a young man claims he can heal the lord.

Episode 5

The stranger is Ricken, and the room doubts him instantly — a rejected apprentice against an evil spirit arrow? Seth explains the arrow can only be drawn after sealing the spirit with a spirit warding candle, a treasure almost impossible to find. Ricken's answer stuns everyone: he has over a hundred, and calls them cheap and easy to make. Seth, who risked years and danger for a single candle, is left speechless. Ricken insists he needs no candle at all and draws the arrow bare-handed. Seth scoffs — until the impossible happens right in front of him.

Episode 6

The arrow comes out clean, and the evil spirit bursts free. Seth screams warnings — don't snap the arrow, don't fight the spirit with fists — but Ricken dispatches it with a single punch, barely trying. The room reels. Seth, the city's strongest sorcerer, realizes Ricken's magic is far beyond his own, yet Ricken keeps calling himself weak. Alden stirs, his curse broken. For Seth, years of confidence collapse in a moment: all his training, and he has never doubted himself like this. The "hopeless" apprentice has just outclassed everyone in Blackstone City.

Episode 7

Ricken heals Lord Alden completely, and the hall erupts in gratitude. Seth begs to become his disciple; Ricken, still calling himself a reject, gently refuses. He trades a blue crystal for a spirit warding candle, then declines the doubled gold reward — he wants something else. Help me find my family, he asks; they may be here in Blackstone City. Alden freezes. The half pendant around Ricken's neck is exactly like the one his lost son wore when he vanished. The lord stares at the young sorcerer before him — his own boy, now a master.

Ricken's pendant has finally found its match — follow the story and see what Blackstone City reveals next.
