Rodion Pakhomov became a mage—and a good one, though not the best. In search of new knowledge, he visits different worlds, studying them, and you should know: he enjoys this kind of life to no end. However, there are worlds where a human life is worth not even a penny. Even for mages there it isn’t easy—and unfortunately exactly such a world ended up in front of Rodion. Even a great mage has a limit to what he can do. Rodion still has to grow and grow. He’s only on the way to that.
