Here I am—the son of a merchant. The only commoner among the Architects of the Empire. But I have special talents and a special purpose, which means this annoying inequality won’t last long. Stupid rulers of this world managed to summon the gods of the Other Side, desecrating an entire continent—so from here I need to make a getaway. But to do that, I need a secluded corner among the boundless forests of Siberia, where no one will interfere with building the Gates of the Seven Worlds and leaving such an unfriendly place. I’ve worked hard, and the right assignment is already in my pocket! Stop! What does “assigned to the border frontier” mean? Fine… Plans change.
