Beside him, a man of imposing presence turned to him, his voice calm yet piercing: "And why is that?" The boy hesitated for a moment before letting out a bitter laugh, averting his gaze. "Can't you see? Do I look like someone who belongs in this world? Do I seem like someone who wants to live?"

The old man raised an eyebrow, as if he had just heard something interesting. The boy then spoke again, this time with unwavering resolve: "Ashura Tekah." ---

The day I quit was my first day getting over you. You don’t have to worry about that crazy talk. I’m over you. And I’ll leave your company the second you find my replacement and you won’t have to see me anymore.” “Nichole please listen—” “Drego, you’re up.” Reid came outside. His expression changed. It was no surprise. The tension between Drego and I was palpable. “Is everything okay?” Reid asked. “Yeah.” I replied. “We are done here.”

Jack, an ordinary man from Earth, is unexpectedly thrust into the mystical world of Aelso Continent, where ancient civilizations once merged magic and technology to create an utopian society. However, a cataclysmic event shattered this balance, leaving behind powerful relics scattered across the land—each containing the raw elemental forces of nature. Now, with dark forces stirring and threatening the world once again, Jack is the continent's last hope. Armed with S+ tier magic that encompasses all eight elements, he must gather the Magical Keys hidden within eight legendary relics. But these relics are no easy task to reach—each lies deep within the world's harshest, most dangerous environments, protected by ancient guardians and elemental trials. With the guidance of Alicia, a courageous princess with her own secret burdens, and the enigmatic Merlin, a master of ancient magic, Jack embarks on a perilous journey. To unlock the secrets of these relics, they must travel across the most treacherous regions: from the fiery depths of the Desert Relic to the flooded Ocean Relic, from the freezing caverns of the Metal Relic to the storm-ravaged Thunder Plains.

But as the land itself begins to change—mutating plants, beasts, and even the very sky—the true challenge lies ahead. The Light Relic, the ultimate key to saving or destroying the world, awaits. But first, they must overcome the growing darkness and awaken the dormant power of the ancient civilization before it’s too late. Will Jack and Alicia unlock the secrets of the relics and stop the coming disaster, or will they fall victim to the very forces they seek to control?
