After slaying a giant flood dragon on the Void Battlefield, the Archmage Benjamin was struck by heavenly lightning; his soul was unexpectedly transported into the body of Harry Kane, a ten-year-old orphan of the Kane family. Harry and his older sister, Elena, were scorned by their kin due to their parents' deaths and their lack of magical talent. Their uncles, Richard and Charles, coveted the estate left by their father and used their grandfather's birthday banquet as a pretext to force a duel.
During the family's talent assessment, Elena stunned the crowd by summoning a Tier 4 Ice Bird, though she was ultimately defeated by Thomas. Harry then stepped forward, summoning a flying dragon with dark-gold magic that left everyone awestruck. Lucio, the patriarch of the Wright family, arrived with his subordinates—Ryan and the Dreamweaver Sebas—to provoke the Kanes; both Thomas and Roben were defeated in quick succession. Harry took on all three opponents, easily besting Ryan and Sebas. Enraged, Lucio summoned an Abyss Troll, only for it to be slain by a massive sword wielded by the spectral projection of Benjamin that appeared behind Harry.
The four of them traveled to the Magic City after receiving an invitation to Benjamin's funeral. At the venue, Knight sought to carry on Benjamin's legacy but was interrupted when Glenn Harris burst in—Karen had secretly released this dark mage, whom Benjamin had previously sealed away, in a bid to seize power.
