Enzo wasn’t special. He wasn’t chosen. He wasn’t even paying attention. So how did he end up kicked out of his own body and replaced by an exiled heavenly god? One moment, he was running from a deadly plague with his best friend Finn. The next, he’s a disembodied soul—floating like a confused ghost—while a dramatic celestial being named Dimitri sets up shop inside his body. Now Dimitri is mastering ancient techniques overnight, turning heads at the prestigious Arcane Academy, and pretending to be Enzo. Meanwhile, the real Enzo is stuck in spirit form, invisible to everyone, complaining loudly, and trying desperately to stop Dimitri from causing an interdimensional incident. And Finn? Finn just wanted to save their village. Instead, he's babysitting his ghost best friend and his new divine roommate. One of them is the body. One of them is the soul. Neither of them are in control.

    Prologue : The Tenth Soul
    Across the vast expanse of stars and galaxies of the Kaelith Realm, far away from mortals. There was a realm called the Immortal Realm. There, time bent and twisted, where the very core of life flowed through the hearts. It was a place where people who had surpassed the limits of humanity and attained godlike power could go. These Immortals were the guardians of the cosmic elements, manipulators of Qi, and rulers of mortals' fate. They could shape the powers that controlled the cosmos, bending the laws of nature and threads of time at their will.For thousands of years, the Realm of Immortal had been standing as a fort of strength world of ethereal beauty where mighty cultivators soared, leaving the mortal coils in their wake, to become forever beings. And time in the realm was told not in terms of years, but in years of cultivation, and mastery and control of beings who lived inside it. Reaching this world would require the mortal to become extremely strong, not to mention the martia

    Chapter 001 - One More To Go....
    The village was still. It was so still that it seemed unnatural, like the very air had given up. The plague—Malice Bloom—came like a storm, tearing its way through everything in its path. Now all that was left was deathly silence, occasionally broken by a howl from the wind. It was cold —the kind that told everybody it was going to be one nasty winter to live out. It was getting dusk, and nobody was shocked when the skies begun raining ice on them.The houses once full of life stood there, desolate and empty shells. The windows are cracked or boarded up, and the streets stand eerily quiet. No laughter, no footsteps, no calls for one another. Only the howling wind and the distant scurrying of rats. The plague had taken everything: the people, their hope, their souls. Inside the houses was worse. The survivors lay in the homes, weak, barely alive. They huddled in corners, too afraid to venture out, too sick to care.Everything surrounding them was howling like a scream of the ghost. Chi

    Chapter 002 - The smell of death
    The moon rested like a chilled silver eye over the village, shedding a pale shadow of light upon the vacant streets below. The streets themselves were strangely silent, a sickening stillness resting in the air, relieved only by an infrequent groan of the creaking of a wooden sign swaying on its chains in the breeze. A sprinkling of torches flickered against the walls, their light flames casting small shadows onto the somber town. It was late at night and every street had its own quiet emptiness, a strange, empty void that gave it an ominous feeling of something not quite there. No one was awake, yet no one was asleep.In the stillness of the town square, even the birds had stopped singing their songs, feeling the tension in the air. They crouched in clusters on the houses along the street, peering intently at the town square behind shuttered windows and closed doors. The moment the first glimmer of torchlight showed on the horizon, they would scatter into concealment with hardly a whi

    Chapter 003 - The Council
    [Inside the Hall: The Council]Deep in the walls of the village's great hall, where a previously merry din of voices and movement had now grown quiet, a council of people gathered. The hall was lit by the faint light of candles, their flames licking at the stagnant, heavy air. The dense stone walls exuded an oppressive stillness, the gravity of the situation weighing upon all those seated at the table. All members of the council appeared to be exhausted and haggard, as if they had gone months without sleep. But their eyes, dark and deep as they scanned their environment, showed some level of alertness to them. They were holding their breaths, as if they feared one misplaced action would break the tenuous peace that surrounded them.The air in the room was thick, the burden of a millennium pressing down upon these five aged men. In a corner of the room, an old man sat hunched over, elbows on the table in front of him, fingers laced together. As if sensing someone watching him, he raise

    Chapter 004 - The Last Hope
    The youngest of the group, Finn, the first student, looked up with wide eyes. “The Exilium Pill? But that’s just a legend, isn’t it? We’ve heard the stories....that it was created by alchemists long ago, but no one has ever found it.”“There are whispers,” Arlen continued, his gaze hardening. “Whispers that it's real. We’ve spent months searching the records, but they’re incomplete. People who might know about it are too terrified to speak.”Chief Arlen got up, went to the shelf, took the scroll down, and laid it on the table. There was a picture of the pill, with a prophecy inscribed, although it had faded over time."In the time when all hope has bled dry, when the plague consumes the hearts of men, one shall arise from the ashes to seek salvation. The cure shall lie in a pill, forged in secrecy, guarded by the mind of its maker. The world shall search far and wide, yet none shall find the formula, for it rests only in the brain of the one who created it. To save humanity, one must

    Chapter 005 - The Dragon's Gaze
    As they moved deeper into the forest, the ground grew more difficult to navigate. The path was uneven, full of tangled roots and hidden traps. The air grew colder with each passing hour, and the weight of their mission hung heavy between them. They stopped for a brief rest and ate, but the silence between them spoke volumes. The pressure of their task was ever-present, a reminder of how much was riding on their success.By midday, they emerged from the thick forest and found themselves at the base of a steep, rocky incline. The path ahead was narrow and dangerous, twisting up the side of a mountain. The air was thinner here, and the wind had a sharp, biting chill that cut through their clothes.Enzo groaned, staring up at the steep, intimidating climb. "You've got to be kidding me. We have to go up there?"Finn smirked, though his legs were already aching just thinking about it. "Looks like it. Unless you've got a better idea."Enzo muttered something under his breath but didn’t prote

    Chapter 006 - Drakthorin
    Enzo glanced at the pass, then looked ahead to the narrowing path. "This is it," he said, his voice filled with a mixture of awe and anticipation. Finn nodded, slipping the pass back into his bag and stepping forward. As they continued deeper into the mountain pass, the air grew colder, and the sulfurous scent in the air became heavier. Jagged cliffs rose on either side of them, and the faint glow from the jade pass seemed to guide them onward.Eventually, they reached the end of the pass and found themselves standing on the edge of a vast chasm. In the distance, they saw the massive stone bridge stretching across the valley, a breathtaking sight that seemed to span the very fabric of the world itself. The bridge was old but sturdy, with intricate carvings running along its edges. It arched gracefully over the deep ravine, leading from the desolate mountain pass to the gates of Drakthorin City, which could be seen just beyond the far end.Without a word, Finn and Enzo stepped onto the

    Chapter 007 - The Welcome
    Enzo nodded, his curiosity growing. “Sounds like a celebration of everything this city stands for—its cultures, its myths, its art.”The festival was going to be huge—performers dressed as mythical creatures like fire-breathing dragons and winged beasts, acrobats doing gravity-defying stunts, and fire-eaters performing tricks that would make anyone's heart race. As night fell, fireworks would light up the sky, and glowing lanterns would float gently down the river. The whole city would come alive with music, dance, and celebration. Finn and Enzo could already feel the excitement buzzing through the air.“This is just the beginning, isn’t it?” Finn asked, his voice full of wonder.Enzo smiled, taking in the preparations. “Definitely. Drakthorin has a way of making everything feel bigger, more alive. And we’re here for it.”They walked towards the Arcane Academy, and as they got closer, they noticed the tall arch above the entrance. It had the school's symbol on it—an open book with win

    Chapter 008 - The Festival of Beasts and Wonders
    The Festival of Beasts and Wonders was an annual event that everyone at the academy took part in. It was a time for students to show off their magical skills in creative—and often strange—ways. The name was a perfect fit for the event, as it combined magical creatures, enchanted artifacts, and incredible displays of talent and illusion. It was said that the festival was only rivaled by the magical history of Drakthorin City itself.Enzo’s eyes grew wide as they walked past a group of students setting up a giant, enchanted cage. Inside, a shimmering, multi-colored creature floated lazily in the air—half bird, half dragon. Its wings folded and unfolded with every movement, sending ripples of light across the courtyard.“Is that a real creature?” Enzo asked, a mix of awe and curiosity in his voice.“Partly,” the girl with curly hair replied. “That’s a blend of a phoenix and a wyvern, called a 'Pyrahar.' It’s one of the most popular attractions at the festival—people come from all over ju

    Chapter 009 - The Magic Pool
    The students exchanged looks, some nodding as they understood, while others seemed unsure. The Cleansing Pool was the center of this test—an ancient magical artifact used for generations to reveal the true nature of a student’s water magic. Its waters were believed to show not only the color of a student’s magic but also their potential, unlocking the creature they would control and the abilities they would master.The teachers stood in a semicircle around the pool, their robes gently swaying in the morning breeze, watching with close attention. The Cleansing Pool glowed softly in the early light, its surface still and clear, reflecting the faces of the students.“Step forward, and may your magic be revealed,” the Headmaster said.One by one, the students were called. The first student, a tall girl with striking Crimson Red robes, stepped forward. She inhaled deeply before entering the pool, her foot barely making a ripple as she walked. The water stirred, and as the swirling waters e
