In the realm of Elyria, where the sun dips into the horizon and paints the sky with hues of crimson and gold, the land is dying. The once-lush forests are withering away, the rivers are drying up, and the creatures of the realm are fleeing in search of a new home. Amidst this chaos, a young apprentice named Eira discovers a ancient prophecy that speaks of a chosen one, destined to save Elyria from destruction. Believing herself to be the chosen one, Eira sets out on a perilous journey to unite the fragmented realms of Elyria and restore the land to its former glory. Along the way, she meets a motley crew of allies, each with their own unique skills and abilities. There's Arin, the cunning thief with a heart of gold; Lila, the wild and fierce warrior-mage; and Jax, the charming rogue with a talent for getting out of tight spots. Together, they brave treacherous landscapes, battle fearsome creatures, and solve ancient puzzles, all in the hopes of reaching the fabled Eldrid Tree, the source of Elyria's magic. But they're not the only ones searching for the Eldrid Tree. A dark sorcerer, Malakai, seeks to claim the tree's power for himself and rule over Elyria with an iron fist. As Eira and her companions draw closer to their goal, they realize that the fate of Elyria hangs in the balance. Will they be able to overcome their differences and work together to save the realm, or will Malakai's darkness consume everything in its path?.

Foreign wish, scrambled dream. I know her wish, but does she know mine? A twilight that begins in school, bringing with it cryptic secrets. Do I really want to know... The true nature of this place? A simple story of a hero and a demon king.

In a world where virtual reality has transcended gaming and become a way of life, people now gain abilities based on their in-game levels. The most powerful among them, reaching Level 500, can obliterate entire cities with a single strike. The line between reality and the virtual world has blurred, and the promise of limitless power has drawn the attention of many. The protagonist, Kai, was once a promising player in this vast virtual reality universe, but his life was cut short in an unexpected betrayal. However, death is not the end in this world. Kai is reborn into the same universe, granted a second chance at life—but with a twist. In this new life, he inherits a unique ability: the power of Copying, enabling him to replicate any ability he comes into contact with, regardless of its origin. As Kai navigates his rebirth, he learns of a looming threat—the Demon King, an ancient and powerful entity who has been hiding in the darkest corners of the virtual world, waiting for the moment to corrupt the minds and souls of those who play. The Demon King's influence is spreading, and with each passing day, more and more players succumb to his corruption, becoming mindless instruments of destruction. While many players are focused on leveling up and amassing power, Kai's journey is different. As he gathers abilities from the highest levels of the game, he realizes that his true power lies not in becoming a hero or villain but in shaping the fate of the world. With the ability to copy and combine powers, Kai faces a moral dilemma—should he wield this power to destroy the Demon King, or is there another way to stop the corruption without becoming a tyrant himself?

But in this realm where swords clash with holograms and magic mingles with machinery, nothing is as simple as it seems. As Daglan closes in on his parents' killer, he must confront not only the demons of his past but also the harsh realities of a world where hope struggles to survive. Will Daglan find justice and redemption? Can Rozeree outrun her demons and claim her own destiny? Or will the darkness that threatens to consume them both prove too powerful to overcome? Dive into this dark fantasy where medieval lore collides with futuristic innovation, and discover whether the flame of hope can truly endure in the face of unimaginable adversity.
