In the ravaged streets of Eldrida, where shadows danced like living darkness, a figure emerged from the ashes. Casimir Clarimond, once a boy shattered by the cruelties of fate, had forged himself anew. His eyes, like tempered steel, gleamed with a fire that had been kindled in the depths of his soul.

As he walked, the wind whispers secrets in his ear, of a world where ancient magic seethed beneath the surface. The air reeked of smoke and ozone, heavy with the promise of storms to come. And Casimir, his heart ablaze with a hunger for justice, stood at the precipice of a new era.

But on that fateful day, as the sun dipped into the horizon, painting the sky with hues of crimson and gold, Casimir's world was shattered once more. A flame, like a serpent's tongue, licked at his right hand, leaving behind a trail of scorched flesh and smoldering embers. The pain was a distant echo, a reminder that some wounds never truly heal.

As the flames danced, casting flickering shadows on the walls, Casimir knew that his destiny was forever altered. The era of a broken world had begun, and he was its chosen instrument of vengeance.
