Many years ago, fruits called “Black” turned humans into sorcerers.

As the effects of Black diminish over generations, sorcerers harness their power through wands. Blessed by Merlin, the god of sorcery, young sorcerer Sano has the Arodihs arm, the ultimate wand. Raised to be the world’s savior, Sano ventures out to train with other talented magic-users just as evil emerges again to threaten the world.

Sano gets a fiery start after being admitted to Black Bottom Island’s guild for young sorcerers. As he begins to train with his professors and classmates, will he learn to harness his powers and prove himself worthy of his destiny?
