I · The Main Plot
Where We Start
Scorio is reborn with no memory of his past and learns he is a Great Soul, a legendary defender of the ancient city of Bastion.
Major Plot Points & Spoilers
- At the Academy he is meant to receive special privileges, regain his unusual powers and eventually join a long war against infernal enemies.
- He is betrayed and condemned to death for crimes he cannot remember, then cast out and left to be forgotten.
- He climbs back from that oblivion, determined to return to the Academy, outshine his elite classmates and rise through its ranks while chasing his forgotten history and why his enemies fear him.
- Our sources give the premise only. Chapter-level events, bosses and the ending are not listed here.
Where the Book Leaves Off
Not verified. The sources give the premise only, with no final-chapter events. Book 2's blurb says Scorio has by then beaten the Final Gauntlet and survived Chancellor Praximar's treachery, which suggests these happen by the end of Book 1 or just after, but that is not confirmed.
