Red, the main protagonist, was born an orphan. At first, the world was very good to him as he was given a dear friend named Ienze. But later on, as if the decision of the world was opposed, his dear friend was killed by the two most powerful beings in their world. Of course, as a lowly figure, Red was oblivious of their identity. But despite that, Red had made up his mind that he will get strong and kill those that killed his dear friend. And on the way to becoming strong, he will have lots of adventures and one day he will go astray from his real goal, which is vengeance. But thankfully, he has fate as his guide. He will meet various people. Some of them will become his enemy while some will become his ally. Finally, he will reach the peak, which will open his eyes to the real structure of the world. And, by that time, he will have become fate's personification, which is fun at first. But later on, he will understand that great power comes with great responsibility. By that time, the question is, what will he do? Will he surrender his power? Or perhaps give up on his vengeance? Or maybe he will shrink down and let things be? As for the answer to those questions, it is yet to be decided.

In a realm of elemental magic, sacred martial arts, and soul-bound systems, Kael has always been an outcast—no lineage, no strength, no future. But when he discovers a forgotten pendant buried beneath his childhood home, everything changes. The artifact awakens a system forged in ancient blood magic, unlocking not only hidden abilities, but a buried legacy tied to his missing parents and a war long erased from history. As Kael trains under unlikely allies—an exiled swordswoman and a cryptic mage—he begins to unravel the truth behind the Lost Sigil: a seal that binds the monstrous Wyrmbound beneath the earth… and a curse written into Kael’s very bones. Now hunted by factions who fear what he might become, Kael must walk through visions of a shattered past, wield new powers that defy understanding, and face the rising threat of the Rift—a wound in reality that dreams of waking. Will he rise as a healer, a warrior, or a vessel of the end? Legacy of the Lost Sigil is a thrilling blend of system fantasy, soul-deep magic, and ancestral secrets—for fans of hidden bloodlines, sentient artifacts, and high-stakes transformation.

Leo was typical, overlooked and completely unprepared when a forbidden tome chose him and gave him the mark of a Warden and placed him under the Mage Academy. This school is an intermediary between worlds, a training ground where recipients of a gift of a System Interface, called a Codex, are trained. However, the file of Leo himself is empty, his Codex whispers that they are “unfinished,” and the elite at the Academy are watching him with suspicion and fear. Dropped into a realm of magical rank and fatal challenges, Leo is an exception. His magic is not dead, but a forbidden energy, which develops by consuming the magic and memories of others. In a maimed mentor who has an overabundance of knowledge, a genius competitor with a cursed lineage, and an ally with a talent to outwit the street, Leo discovers a rot inside the Academy. It is not merely teaching magic, it is harvesting it, it is tapping its students with the souls of its former students to feed its immortality, all managed by an enigmatic, manipulative Headmaster. As the boundary between the magical and the mortal realms collapses, Leo gets to know the horrifying reality of his destiny. He is a “Fractured Soul,” a descendant in an intergenerational cycle, who will either redeem the world or ruin it. In order to escape the cycle, he should learn how to overcome the same force that is eliminating his human nature and face the most outrageous truth of all: the man who has tortured him is his own father. The world has become the teacher, but Leo now has to rewrite the final lesson. Tags: Progression Fantasy, Academy Fantasy, Gaslamp Fantasy.
