Hidden Archival Lore: Kael’s Secret Student Days
KAEL’S SECRET ENROLLMENT AS A STUDENT: In an ancient eon, Kael Draeven chose to understand the reality of his university from the ground up.
He donned a simple black long coat, black trousers, and black boots. He wore no crown, no divine armor, and no royal insignia, and completely sealed his overwhelming Stellar Presence.
To professors and classmates, he appeared as an ordinary, quiet human student. He sat in standard lecture halls, took detailed notes in his notebook, and listened with a faint smile as history professors lectured the class on the legendary deeds and philosophy of "Founder Kael Draeven"—while Kael himself sat in the middle row.
