They were benevolent and made the worlds, and did not rule over the mortals with an iron fist. They even allowed non-believers into the Paradise of Gods. However, the evils that lurked amidst the lands, born from the sins of the old, created a fierce environment for those who wanted to leave peacefully. But, there would soon be one to cast those sins away and start the beginning of a new world. “…” “I have learnt my purpose. To create the foundation for a new world, under the gaze of the Gods.” “With my Quill, my Thorn Crown, and my Scholar’s Armor… I shall become “Lord.” In Their will.”

In the fractured world of Luminora, where the arcane hums through the veins of steel and whispers linger in forgotten corners, a boy with hair as dark as the void walks unnoticed, his silence a riddle to the world around him. Beside him, a girl with golden locks treads lightly, her smile a fragile mask for a truth that could shatter everything. She clings to dreams too vivid to be mere memories and to a longing for something lost—something never spoken. Their lives entwine, not by choice but by the pull of unseen strings, as shadows stretch across the light, and every step seems guided by forces neither can name. In a realm where hope glimmers faintly between cracks of despair, their journey unfolds—a delicate balance of joy and sorrow, of wonder and fear, as they seek to unravel the secrets binding them to the shifting edges of a world that defies understanding. What they find may reshape more than their fates, for some truths are too vast to stay buried, and some destinies too great to remain untold.
