An overlooked ward bound by a bloodline of mediocrity discovers an extraordinary gift: the ability to manifest clones across infinite worlds. With only a Red core and the scorn of his peers, Percy transforms his perceived weakness into an unprecedented advantage. Each distant realm yields treasures beyond measure—forbidden techniques, arcane knowledge, and fragments of power stolen from civilizations far beyond his own. Yet ascension demands sacrifice. To secure the elixirs necessary for advancement, he must master alchemy from the ground up. To survive the machinations of Great Houses, ancient conspiracies, and descending deities, he must become something far more dangerous than his origins suggest. The path to transcendence is carved through alchemy and runecraft, through bodies claimed across worlds and mana cores stolen piece by piece. Those who dismissed him as worthless will soon discover that even the lowest born can reach the stars—if they're willing to break every rule in their way.
