Looking to make a name for himself and recover the family's honor Linley decides to train as a Magus instead, and with the help of the Doehring, an ancient Saint level Magus, whose spirit resides in the Coiling Dragon Ring, and Bebe, a magical beast of unknown race, he will embark in world changing adventures.
