Sometimes circumstances dictate their will, but you personally don’t have much against it. Street thief Chris Zhuchok, by the will of fate (which in this case takes the form of a not-young mage with far-reaching plans), became the third son of a baron. He received the name Erast von Ruth and was sent in place of him to learn magic far away among all the demons in some unknown Raven Castle. But accepting the will of fate and submitting to it without complaint are two different things. And it’s definitely not certain that the plans of the newly minted baron will match the plans of the one who changed his life forever.
