In the beginning, the world was created in harmony between light and darkness. This balance nurtured life, shaping kingdoms, nations, and creatures that roamed its lands. Yet, just as light brings hope, darkness has its own subtle ways of creeping in.

  The Kingdom of Veldron, once hailed as the pinnacle of civilization and justice, has now become a symbol of oppressive power. Under the rule of a new tyrant, its military might spreads like a wildfire, consuming towns and villages that dare to resist. In their wake, only ruins and despair remain.

  However, the greatest threat does not come from Veldron's soldiers or their bloodthirsty blades. Beneath the shadow of their ambition, an ancient force stirs—a darkness buried for millennia. This power seeks more than destruction; it has a greater purpose: to engulf the entire world in eternal void.

  Amid this turmoil, a humble family living on the outskirts of the kingdom finds themselves caught between destiny and devastation. Ian, Gerude, Gorgoyle, and Siccyl—four siblings raised with the love and care of their parents—never imagined their bloodline held a profound secret. An ancient lineage tied to a power capable of maintaining the world's balance.

  But such a lineage is also a burden. Gorgoyle, the eldest brother, vanished amidst the chaos that tore their home apart. When he returned, he was no longer the man they once knew. His soul had been claimed by darkness, and he became a threat far greater than Veldron's armies.

  In the ruins of their past, Ian and Gerude fled with the help of a mysterious woman named Elara. She bore a grim prophecy—that the devastation they had witnessed was merely the beginning. The world was on the brink of a war that would decide the fate of all life.

  Under dim, starlit skies, their journey began. Not just to survive, but to uncover the truth of their lineage, confront the darkness consuming their brother, and battle the forces threatening to erase everything.

  Yet, in every struggle, sacrifice is inevitable. And in the suffocating shadows of the night, no one can say whether the light can still triumph over the dark.
