Caden is an ordinary young man—or so it seems. For weeks, his nights have been haunted by enigmatic dreams in which a mysterious woman warns him of an imminent danger. When his life takes a sudden turn, he discovers that he possesses an elemental power, an ancient energy symbolized by a zodiac mark on his body. Yet one detail haunts him: he knows he wasn’t born with this mark, and his past before the age of nine is a complete blank. In his search for answers, Caden encounters others who bear similar marks, each tied to an elemental power and representing a zodiac sign. These chosen ones, known as the Zodiac Mages, are guardians of a fragile balance, but their unity shattered years ago. Now, their powers have become the target of those willing to go to any lengths to claim them. To counter this growing threat, Caden sets out to rebuild the Brotherhood of Zodiac Mages. Together, they must overcome their differences, restore the harmony of old, and face an enemy whose strength is beyond imagination. But every alliance comes with its own risks: caught between friendship and betrayal, Caden must discern allies from foes and uncover the truth about his own origins.

For centuries, sixteen castles have acted as seals to otherworldly monster dimensions, preventing their horrors from spilling into reality. When these monsters escape, they manifest as natural disasters—earthquakes, plagues, massacres, and worse. To keep them at bay, elite warriors and raiders with supernatural abilities fight back each time a portal opens. Fifteen castles have accepted the help of governments and organizations, except one—the Kanagawa Castle. The secretive Kanagawa family has always fought "their monsters" alone. But when they unexpectedly call for help, the world listens. Among those chosen to document the event is Kaede, a nobody—an awkward, cowardly school journalist assigned to follow the powerful Sun Jia, a top-tier raider and his long-time crush. But when they enter Kanagawa’s portal, everything goes wrong. Two doors open instead of one—an anomaly. Sun Jia and the team enter what appears to be the safer path. But inside, they face a nightmare beyond comprehension—the domain of Shiniyuku Shinigami, the Dying Death God. Reality collapses. The raiders don’t just die—they feel their deaths transcending time, erased from existence before they can even react. Kaede, the weakest among them, experiences his own death differently—shorter, but far more agonizing. Shiniyuku, intrigued by his insignificance, spares him, mocking his cowardice. Kaede wakes up two years later, the only survivor of the disaster. The world has changed—door hunting is now a global industry, and the Kanagawa family has become more powerful than ever. But something inside him has changed too. A power is growing, something unnatural. Determined to uncover the truth behind Kanagawa, Akihiko’s true intentions, and the identity of the enigmatic Knight X, Kaede embarks on a journey—not as a hero, but as a man seeking redemption. But as he grows stronger, a terrifying truth emerges... Kaede is no longer just a survivor. He is becoming something else entirely. Something that should never exist in reality.

"A forgotten past. A hidden bloodline. A war that cannot be avoided." For centuries, the Valtoria Empire has thrived under the rule of powerful mage-nobles, each carrying the blood of legendary warriors. Among them was Magnus Ravencroft, the hero who defeated the Demon King Azrathor, The Abyssal Tyrant, sealing his dark influence away forever. His name became legend, his bloodline a symbol of power. But not all heirs seek the throne. Damien Ravencroft, the second son of the ruling Duke, walked away from the ruthless games of nobility. While his siblings fought for power, Damien chose a different path—becoming a teacher at Arcadia Academy, where he could guide the next generation of mages. Though a master of both spell and steel, he had no interest in war, no desire for the throne. However, peace is fleeting. Dark forces stir in the shadows, and whispers of an ancient evil begin to resurface. When students start disappearing and forbidden magic seeps into the academy, Damien is forced to confront the past he abandoned. But the truth is far more personal than he expected—one of his own siblings has allied with the demons, seeking revenge and power at any cost. As betrayal and war loom over the empire, Damien must make a choice: Will he remain the teacher who seeks peace, or will he embrace his forgotten legacy and fight for the fate of the world? Some battles cannot be avoided, no matter how much you wish for peace.
