Two years before a boy named Natsuki Subaru is thrown into an alley in Lugnica, another young man from a different world faces his own end. Leon Cromwell Ishikawa, a fifteen-year-old Anglo-Japanese genius with an intellect that rivals the greatest minds in science and strategy, is consumed by the flames of a mysterious fire. In his final moment, he is torn from reality by an enigmatic and sorrowful figure who calls herself Pandora.
Saved from death but cast into the misery of the Royal Capital's slums, Leon does not possess "Return by Death," but an Authority just as terrifying: the Authority of Vainglory. This power allows him to subtly rewrite the reality around him, turning highly improbable possibilities into established facts, and to traverse space by hiding within the folds of the universe. In addition, he possesses "Bloom," an ocular ability that lets him see the latent potential in everything and everyone, and forge pacts that awaken that power in others.
With an androgynous appearance that causes constant confusion and a short stature that is his one true source of irritation, Leon must use every ounce of his superhuman intellect to survive. Forming an unlikely alliance with Felt, a gutter thief with a fierce heart, and Old Man Rom, he begins turning scrap into revolutionary magitech, igniting a silent revolution from the very bottom of society.
