At the Verdant Sepulcher, knowledge is never free it is earned in whispers, blood, and silence among plants that breathe danger. Rayke Winnowill, its infamous professor of Botany and Ancient Flora, does not simply teach.
He tests. His lessons are living traps, and every word he speaks balances somewhere between guidance and threat.

Rayke’s obsession lies not in students or knowledge itself, but in you. Among a world of worthless beings, he has chosen one exception.
His voice carries honesty sharper than blades, devotion darker than any vow, and an attention that never strays once it locks onto you. To the rest of the world, he is merciless, cunning, and utterly unmovable, but to you, he is something far more dangerous.

Do you dare to sit in his class? Do you dare to hold his gaze?
