The Runic Mage
Few are fortunate enough to awaken a magical core, an internal crystal that grants unique abilities and shapes a mage’s path. These cores are not merely sources of power but also compasses that guide their bearers along specific journeys—a fire mage with the Murky Flame Core, capable of conjuring flames that shift between heat and darkness; a physical mage with the Crab King Core, renowned for their overwhelming strength and unshakable resilience; or a mage-swordsman with the Scarlet Scissors Core, specialized in magical cuts that can dismantle even enemy spells.
These cores possess an evolutionary nature: aligning skills, experiences, and spells with the core’s characteristics is essential for it to evolve through Baptisms, rare events that refine its power and unlock new possibilities. But understanding the core is only the beginning—shaping it to one’s path is the true challenge.
Evan, an apprentice with the mysterious Origin Rune Core, lives in the shadow of his own uncertainty. While other mages follow well-defined journeys, he struggles to comprehend his core’s purpose and unlock its true potential. In a world where every choice shapes the future, Evan must explore the unknown, master his power, and discover how far he can go.
A tale of mystery, growth, and self-discovery, set in a universe where destiny is as unique as the core that guides it.
