Infinite Mage

Phew, I finally feel alive again.

On the other hand, Arcane wasnt particularly fond of Arin. echo Despite her apparent talent, evident from her black hair and eyes, she seemed too timid and lacked discernment.

True to the extreme polarization of the capital, the residents of Radum led even more wretched lives compared to beggars in other cities.

The slum of Radum.
