Winning an education, he gets his degree as a doctor and accepts a position as graduate student of Sen Vernus, as an expert on longevity. Lord Jait has psychic power he cannot control. Vernus can use this to take over the minds and possess others in power. Antronos finds himself stealing body parts and vows to resist Vernus, and save Lord Jait.
