A world that takes away your closest people has no right to exist—that decision, back in childhood, made for himself the now senior-year student of a magical school, Neil. In a country where expert command of firearms and magic significantly increases the chances of survival, he diligently learns both while trying not to stand out among his classmates. And at the same time, he secretly conducts his own investigation into the murder of his father, constantly stumbling upon countless secrets that are deadly dangerous. The closer the answer, the more attempts there are to eliminate the overly curious would-be mage. And yet, driven by revenge, the young wizard doesn’t stray from the path he chose. It doesn’t matter that it may lead into a void.
