Volthoom The First Lantern

744 après J.-C., Chang’an, capitale cosmopolite et foisonnante de l’Empire Tang. Alors que la ville s’apprête à célébrer le Festival des Lanternes, un complot se trame dans l’ombre : des survivants d’un royaume déchu d’Asie centrale se préparent à frapper en plein cœur de la métropole. Mais ce n’est pas tout : au palais, les intrigues sont tout aussi explosives. L’Empereur vieillissant prévoit d’annoncer la régence de son Chancelier de Droite avant de disparaître dans les montagnes avec sa jeune amante. Une nomination qui pourrait renverser le Prince Héritier réformiste — ou pire, le conduire à la potence. Li Bi, jeune prêtre taoïste et chef des renseignements, n’a que 24 heures pour déjouer l’attaque et empêcher la prise de pouvoir du Chancelier. Mais après une tentative désastreuse pour capturer les conspirateurs, il doit faire appel à Zhang Xiao Jing, un vétéran de guerre condamné à mort : ancien chef de la police adoré de ses hommes, mais aussi meurtrier de son dernier supérieur direct. Chang’an s’apprête à brûler — reste à savoir qui tiendra la torche.

Do you ever imagine there's another world running right beside ours? . . . “Why don’t we put this in?" A woman speaks, her voice smooth, almost affectionate. “Nah, that’s too overpowered. Let’s add something different. Something… darker.” Then, a man’s voice interrupts, firm and unyielding. “Hey! Why don’t we make him a vampire?” The woman’s voice perks up, excited. A chill goes through me. Make what! vampire? Who! Me?! What—what are they talking about? The man lets out a skeptical grunt. “A vampire? Sure, that’s interesting, but it's too OP. Let's add something to balance it.” “Okay, okay,” she says, her tone still light, as though designing some casual new toy. “But let’s change the species—no blood-sucking from humans. It’s been done to death, too cliché right?” Blood-sucking? Humans? My mind spins. Are they actually talking about turning me into… some kind of creature? “Well,” the man chuckles, “there’s plenty else he could prey on in this world, isn’t there? We’ll give him something else to feed on.” The voices continue, completely oblivious to my horror. I lie helpless, only able to listen as they throw around options, shaping me, deciding my fate. My heart—if I even have one—pounds in the emptiness. I can’t see, move, or speak. But in their hands, I’m becoming something, one twisted decision at a time.

In the mystical realm of Eryndor, where magic is the lifeblood of society, young Luth Hxavion, a scion of the prestigious Hxavion noble house, grapples with a debilitating condition known as Mana Invocation Disorder. This rare ailment prevents him from casting spells, rendering him an outcast in a world where magical prowess is revered above all. Despite his deep understanding of magic theory, Luth’s condition leaves him powerless, constantly overshadowed by his peers and the expectations of his lineage. One fateful day, while rummaging through the forgotten remnants of his family’s library, Luth stumbles upon an old, tarnished magic pen. At first glance, it appears to be a faulty relic of no significance. But as he grips the pen, he feels a faint, unfamiliar tingle—a spark of mana. Desperate to harness any semblance of power, Luth begins to experiment with the pen, tracing intricate patterns and symbols with his mana. To his astonishment, these symbols, though foreign and mysterious, manifest as spells. Unlike traditional magic, these symbols hold a raw, unrefined power, capable of feats beyond ordinary spellcasting. With each stroke, Luth pioneers a new form of magic, creating what he dubs "Runes." These arcane symbols become his lifeline, a way to channel his mana and assert his place in the world. As Luth delves deeper into the secrets of rune magic, he uncovers ancient prophecies hinting at a time before magic was formalized, when primordial forces shaped the world. His discovery of rune magic, it seems, is no accident. Luth's journey is intertwined with a greater destiny: to bring balance to Eryndor and restore a lost age of magic.
