"A forgotten past. A hidden bloodline. A war that cannot be avoided."

For centuries, the Valtoria Empire has thrived under the rule of powerful mage-nobles, each carrying the blood of legendary warriors. Among them was Magnus Ravencroft, the hero who defeated the Demon King Azrathor, The Abyssal Tyrant, sealing his dark influence away forever. His name became legend, his bloodline a symbol of power.  

But not all heirs seek the throne.  

Damien Ravencroft, the second son of the ruling Duke, walked away from the ruthless games of nobility. While his siblings fought for power, Damien chose a different path—becoming a teacher at Arcadia Academy, where he could guide the next generation of mages. Though a master of both spell and steel, he had no interest in war, no desire for the throne.  

However, peace is fleeting.  

Dark forces stir in the shadows, and whispers of an ancient evil begin to resurface. When students start disappearing and forbidden magic seeps into the academy, Damien is forced to confront the past he abandoned. But the truth is far more personal than he expected—one of his own siblings has allied with the demons, seeking revenge and power at any cost.  

As betrayal and war loom over the empire, Damien must make a choice:  
Will he remain the teacher who seeks peace, or will he embrace his forgotten legacy and fight for the fate of the world?  

Some battles cannot be avoided, no matter how much you wish for peace.
