Synopsis
When a sudden quarantine leaves them stranded on an isolated campus, seven brilliant, parentless students of the prestigious Hisar Institute must make an uneasy peace with their situation. Arlt, a Renaissance philology student and gifted linguist, narrates their tale—a story shrouded in secrets as ancient as the campus itself. United by their orphaned pasts and exceptional linguistic abilities, they linger in Suare Kairos, a grim four-story dormitory overshadowed by the silent gaze of the Aeternolis statue. Life in quarantine is quiet until they stumble upon a hidden tunnel beneath the library, a passage rumored to have sheltered professors fleeing the horrific Great Genocide Era. What begins as a curious exploration soon reveals a legacy of betrayal, forbidden knowledge, and concealed atrocities that refuse to remain buried. Inside the tunnel, the students find relics of a forgotten resistance—ancient texts, obscure manuscripts, and encrypted journals that point to a grim legacy the Institute sought to erase. As they decode the cryptic writings, the students are pulled into a web of secrets that threatens to unravel not only the history of their institution but also their very identities. Each discovery comes at a cost, forcing them to confront questions about loyalty, survival, and the fine line between knowledge and power. Bound by a shared past yet divided by dark ambitions, they must decide: how far will they go to preserve the truths they’ve unearthed? And, when knowledge becomes dangerous, is it worth dying—or even killing—for? A tale of mystery, academic rivalry, and haunting secrets, The Scholars of Aeternolis explores the weight of history on those who seek to uncover it and the cost of pursuing forbidden knowledge.

We were seven. Though we knew each other before the quarantine began, we hadn't foreseen being this close, this… unbearably close. But was it really necessary?

Before answering that, let me introduce myself. My name is Arlt. I study Renaissance literature at the Hisar Institute. I'm an orphan, just like the others. We were chosen from the orphanage and brought here because of our talent for languages. In ten years, we learned five languages—Chinese, Arabic, English, Turkish, and Russian. Besides those, we already knew Latin, Ancient Greek, Italian, and Japanese.

When the quarantine started, we had no idea where we would go. The Institute's officials insisted that all students, or rather, all students with homes, should return to them. But we had no homes. Where could we possibly go? In the end, we were granted permission to stay.

So we settled into the Suare Kairos dormitory, a four-story building beside the library, with the statue of Aeternolis standing guard at the entrance...
