SYNOPSIS Rudra is a first-year student at Celeste Academy—a genius who asks too many questions. Unlike most gifted students, he isn't interested in recognition or status. He seeks only one thing: freedom to live on his own terms. His life proceeds normally until he and his friend Elise encounter a mysterious woman in a white robe at the academy library—one who vanishes without a trace. This incident reveals that Celeste Academy harbors secrets far darker than anyone realizes. While investigating, Rudra accidentally forms a pact with an ancient entity known as The Primordial Jester. This contract grants him extraordinary power through the Covenant of the Jester, but at an unimaginable price: he can never bow to anyone or anything again—not to kings, gods, or even fate itself. Now a Bearer with evolving powers, Rudra joins a secret organization that secures cursed artifacts and investigates mystical incidents worldwide. His journey plunges him into ancient mysteries.
