Synopsis
Theodore Miller is the magic academy's best student in theory and its worst in practice. For the third year running he is held back a course, and his dream of becoming a Magus fades by the day.
Then, one evening, the hopeless prodigy discovers that he can eat books — and, along with the paper, absorb the very spells written inside them.
So begins the path of a cold, calculating mage who turns other people's grimoires into his own power — through the intrigues of the Seven Towers, the war against the demons, and the secrets of the Age of Myths.
