2025-05-03 21:04:22The explosion of the energy between light and the shadow shook the entire valley, breaking the silence of the night that had long mastered the place. The ground trembled, the stones were thrown, and the dark sky seemed to be gaping, swallowing all the light.
Leon stood in the middle of the energy storm, his body was injured but did not fall. The sword is still raised, shining with stronger light, more radiating, as if responding to the resistance from the attacking shadow. The shadow king staggered backwards, his face that was once so arrogant is now distorted by a power that he can not fully control.
"I told you, my son ..." The voice of the shadow echo, but this time it sounded fragile. "Darkness cannot be killed. He is part of this world. And you, with all your strength, will never be able to get rid of it."
Leon sighed, remembering the words he had once heard. Words that want h

The rain has subsided, leaving a wet soil and the aroma of blood that settles in the air. Thin smoke steams from the crater created by the explosion of the sky sword. In the midst of the ruins of the altar, Leon sat leaning against the stone, his breathing panting. His body trembled, not only because of fatigue, but also because of the rest of Arcana's energy that had not fully subsided.Raina crouched by her side, both hands pressed against the wound on Leon's arm that began to turn blue.

The world is silent. Only the wind left, sweeping the debris of the judgment palace that has now turned into a sea of ash and broken stones. The first sunlight that penetrated the dark clouds felt strange - too warm for the world who had just lost a king of the shadow.Leon stood still in the middle of the debris, his body was still bleeding, but the hands holding the sword now vibrated not because of injuries - rather because of burden. On his feet, the black crown owned by King Bayang was lying, split in two.Raina approached slowly, her steps left a trail above the holy dust and blood.

Arcana System: Rise of the Forsaken Prince Chapter 1: The Prince was wasted
Blood flows in frozen soil. The biting night air pierced Leon Ardendale's skin, the third prince of the Solmaria kingdom, who is now lying between the roots of the old tree in the Everwood Expanse. His chest and left arm were full of wounds, while his breathing was gasping, trying to survive on the verge of death. Betrayal. He still did not believe that his stepbrother, Prince Edgar, dared to launch a coup and kill their father, King Theodric. Leon himself is a witness that should be silenced. The kingdoms who had vowed loyal to now drew the sword at him, forcing him to escape as far as possible from the palace. However, Everwood is not a shelter. This forest is more dangerous than all the knights chasing him. It is said that anyone who enters the deepest part will never return. His eyes that began to blur caught the shadows of moving between the trees. The creatures approached, hissing sound and growl filled the air. "My end is close," he thought. However, right when his conscio
Arcana System: Rise of the Forsaken Prince Chapter 2: Offer from Darkness
Leon stood frozen, his body stiffened against the black -robed man's gaze. The green light from his bone stick throbbed slowly, emitting an unnatural aura. "You're still young, but that power has chosen you." The man's voice was heavy and echoed, as if he came from a distant place. "I can help you master it."The system does not provide danger warnings, but Leon remains alert. If this person knows about the Arkana System, he is clearly not an ordinary person. "Who are you?" Leon asked, his voice was cold. His hands remained in the dagger handle, ready to act. The man smiled faintly. "My name is a variant, a forgotten knowledge guard." He stepped forward with a movement that almost floated. "I've been waiting for someone like you for years."[Warning: Individuals are not identified as having high energy fluctuations. Leon felt cold sweat on the nape of his neck. What does this man mean waiting for him? "You're still fragile," continued the variant, "But the system you have will ta
Arcana System: Rise of the Forsaken Prince Chapter 3. Second test
Variant grinned, the stick sparkled in the air. "Alright, we continue. Your test has just begun."The Sanctum room is again filled with increasingly intense light. Leon's decision to receive this training began to show results. But, he knew this was only the first step of the long journey he had to take. With the power of Arkana he had just obtained, Leon was ready to face the next exam. However, there is something darker lurking - something far bigger than what he can imagine. Leon felt his body staggered, even though Arkana's power had just flowed through his body. The energy feels unreal, as if there is another world that interacts with each other in its body. Each of his body fibers responded, every bloodstream is now filled with potentials that he never knew before. "You have started the journey that will change your life forever, Leon," said the variant, his voice was serious. "However, your training has just begun. To master Arkana, you need to be more than just physical st
Arcana System: Rise of the Forsaken Prince Chapter 4Battle in the ruins
The variant stared at him sharply. "In it, you will face the power that has been waiting for centuries. A legacy from previous Arkana users."Leon took a deep breath. He knew that there was no way back. If he wants to master his strength fully, he must pass all these tests. With a steady step, he grabbed the door grip and pushed it slowly. The blue light covered his body, and in an instant, he disappeared from the room. ---When his consciousness returned, Leon found himself in the middle of an ancient ruins. The surrounding air is filled with the aroma of dust and ancient magic that feels thick. In front of him, there was a large altar with dim symbols. However, before he could go further, the roar echoing around him. From the shadow of the ruins, dark creatures began to appear. Their eyes glowed red, and their bodies were filled with an evil aura that made the air feel heavy. [Warning: Destiny door guard creatures have been active!]Leon took a sharp breath. This is not just a

The black -robed figure finally spoke. "This is the possibility of your future."Leon turned his head sharply. "Future?""Yes. If you keep walking on this road without understanding what you really are looking for, you will end like this - destroyed, without purpose."Leon clenched his fist. "I won't end like that."The figure nodded slowly. "Then prove it."Suddenly, the battlefield disappeared, and Leon returned to the unlimited sky. Arkana's fragments in front of her sparkled, but this time, she could see something in it - a symbol of an eye -shaped glowing golden. [Fragmen Arkana Open: Truth penetrating eyes][New ability obtained: Arkana's vision]Leon felt a change in him. The world around him became clearer, as if he could see the hidden layers in reality. He can feel the energy that rotates in the air, even seeing a vague shadow that was previously invisible. Before he could react further, the world around him spinned again. In an instant, he returned to the ruins, standing
Arcana System: Rise of the Forsaken Prince Chapter 6The shadow lurking
Leon looked at the trees around him, feeling something wrong. There is a voice ... a voice that shouldn't be there. Like a whisper that fell in the air. He turned to the variant. "You hear that?"A silent variant for a moment, then nodded slowly. "It's not the sound of the wind."Leon felt his hair standing. He activated Arkana's vision deeper, trying to see the source of the sound. And that's where he saw it - a faint -shaped humanoid shaped that stands between the trees, staring at him with blank eyes. [Entity unknown detected][Analysis ... failed]Leon immediately grabbed his sword. "There's something there."The variant is not surprised. "I know.""What's that?" Leon asked in a low voice. The variant stares forward with a serious expression. "If we are lucky, it is only the spirit of this forest guard. If we are not lucky ..."Leon is waiting for the sequel, but the variant does not finish his words. Suddenly, the whisper sound even louder. Now, Leon can understand some of th

Arkana System: The resurrection of the Prince was wasted -: The journey to Abyss and the shadow---The footsteps of the four people left a faint trace in the rocky forest path. The afternoon sunshine is filtered by high pine leaves, creating a soft silhouette along the path. The atmosphere felt quiet, only interspersed with birds and winds. Leon walked at the front, his eyes be careful, his shoulders were tense. Behind him, Raina stepped lightly but was no less vigilant. Felix watched left and right while holding the handle of his dagger. Lysaria, with a protective dress and a head hood, looked like a traveler. "Are you sure we are not detected?" Leon asked while still walking. Felix nodded. "As long as the navigation crystals remain sealed, they cannot track us up directly. But once we approach the Abyss zone ... there is no guarantee."Raina followed Leon's side. "I still can't help thinking, you turned out to be a primary blood heir. That explains the strength of your system t

Leon murmured, withdrawing a little to see the woman's face more clearly. "You ... are you really my mother?"The woman nodded, her eyes filled with tears. "My name is Lysaria. Former empress kingdom Thalvador and your biological mother. I hid me after your father ... killed."Leon gripped his shoulder. "Why have you never been looking for me? Why let me live like a shadow?"Lysaria looked down, her voice almost whispered. "Because I was monitored. I was hunted by factions in the palace - the worshipers of Arkana were reversed. They knew our blood could generate the most powerful system ... and the most dangerous."Raina, who was standing behind Leon, stared alertly. "So you know about the

🔥-Three days have passed since the sky cracks and the world shook. The ruins of the battlefield are now shrouded in a thin fog that is calm, as if nature was holding a breath, waiting for a new world. There are no more weapons clinking, no magic screams. Only quiet ... and odd feeling of relief. At the Campsite Campsman, Leon sat on the edge of a small lake, staring at the shadow of his face in the water. The wound on his shoulder has not fully healed, but he refused magic treatment. "I want to remember this pain," he said at that time to Raina. "So that I don't forget that I have chosen."Raina stood behind her now, slipping her hand on her shoulder slowly. "You look ... like someone who lost something."Leon smiled a little. "Maybe I lost my own shadow.""Sometimes we have to lose the deepest part of ourselves to be able to find a more complete version," Raina said quietly. Leon nodded. "In the past, I just wanted to know who I was. Now I know ... I'm nobody. And that's what
Chapter 30Swords that choose
The first explosion destroyed the altar where Leon stood. The sacred stones that have survived thousands of years melted in a collision between two absolute powers. Light and shadow no longer opposite; They are united in conflicts that divide the heaven and earth. Leon was thrown back, but quickly stood up again. His body staggered, blood dripped from his temples, but his grip on the sword was not shaken. The sword was still trembling - if trying to adjust to the will of the owner. Raja Bayang stepped forward. There were no wounds on his body. But the look in his eyes ... began to change. Not anger, but vague doubts slipped between its firmness. "You have touched the core of the Arkana system," he said slowly. "Humans should not be able to unite two poles."Leon lifted his sword. "I'm not an ordinary human. I am the result of sin and hope that is not resolved."The sky was split again. Vireon and Raina's troops resigned, were protected behind magic barriers. Even Vireon, the owner

The figure stepped forward. "But fate does not wait. He comes ... and demands an answer."The wind rotates wild, carrying the aroma of iron and wet soil. The fog dancing around them, hiding and showing another silhouette - more shadow figures began to appear around them, slowly surrounding. Vireon looked at Leon quickly. "Say, what should we do?"Leon closed his eyes for a moment. In darkness, he heard his mother's voice - giving soft from his childhood. "Light is not always bright. And the shadow is not always dark. Find its balance, Leon. Find yourself."He opened his eyes. The light from the fraction in his hand changed - not white, not black, but a soft blue purple tinge. "It's time for me to choose," he whispered. With a steady step, he advanced one step forward, facing a silver -robed figure. "I am Leon. I brought light. I brought a shadow. But I didn't submit to both of them."The robed figure stopped. For a moment, silent creeping between them, like the world holding brea
Chapter 27Future that never happened
Arcana System: Rise of the Forsaken Prince---Leon frozen, staring at the figure in front of him - a middle -aged man with a face similar to him, but full of wounds and burden. The look in his eyes was dim like a fire that had burned brightly but now almost extinguished. "Leon from the future?" Viron murmured softly, the sound of hoarse mixed with suspicion. Raina approached, her steps were careful. His hands could not be separated from the sword handle on the waist. "How can ...? Is this magic deception?"The man shook his head. "I didn't come to deceive. I came ... to warn."Silent enveloped the ruins of the temple. The wind seemed to stop, holding your breath with them. The young Leon swallowed, his eyes could not be separated from the man in front of him. "You said ... you're Leon. What do you mean I am a child of two poles? Light and shadow?"The man took a deep breath. His face looked old not because of age, but because of regret. "Because your mother is the last guard of l
