Several thousand years ago Magic came to the world. She burst from another space to change and destroy the World, and plunge it into a jumble of already destroyed Worlds. Portals from the Mesh of Worlds began to open all over the planet, and from there the first invaders entered the Earth. But their attack was repulsed by the first magicians. People who had become an intelligent species by that time were able to understand the basics of magic, and thereby saved themselves. They closed the portals, but instead, more and more gates to the Mesh of Worlds began to open all over the world. Hundreds of generations have changed, and Mages are still closing portals around the world to stop the invasion and prevent the World from being destroyed. For a fair part of his life, Arkady did not really strive to become stronger or improve his skills. But everything changes when he enters the Ural University of Military Skills and Magic. His measured life is coming to an end, because training, trials, new friends and old love await him.
