The First Facet

Andrei Kraynov — IT manager, chronic overthinker, the last person you'd call a hero — is now a Seer, the Organization's rarest and most dangerous asset. The last three people with his gift died within a year.

To find his wife, Andrei will have to master a power that runs on mathematics and intent, survive training that warps time and breaks bones, and figure out whether the people who gave him this gift are the same ones who took everything from him.

For Fans Of

Bureaucratic Techno-Magic

A rigorous power system, relentless training arcs, and the thrill of leveling up against impossible odds.

Forbidden Knowledge

The Library at Mount Char

Scott Hawkins

Institutional menace, the price of knowing too much, and a world where power costs everything you are.

They call it the Void. It changes everything it touches — space, time, you.
Some serve it. Some fight it. Some don’t survive it.

Welcome to the Organization.

The World

Mathematics as a Weapon

Magic here isn't hand-waving — it's combat mathematics. Constructs built from intent and equations can shield, warp space, or erase you from existence.

Reality Has a Price

Every use of the Void drains your Source. Push too far, and you don't die — you get erased from reality. As if you never existed.

No One Is What They Seem

The Organization that trains you might be the one that took everything. The creatures you fight have families. And the friend buying you a beer works for someone else entirely.

About the Author

Artem Zemtsovskii

Artem Zemtsovskii

Mathematician. Fintech PM. Reality Breaker.

A mathematician who ended up in fintech product management. He builds financial products by day and breaks fictional realities by night. The First Facet grew out of a simple question: what if magic worked like mathematics, and the people who wielded it had the institutional charm of a government agency?

The First Facet is his first published novel. It will not be his last.
