In a city of fire, blood, and deceit, loyalty is fleeting, danger is constant, and only those who can fight together,and trust the untrustable, can survive.

“Stop!” Shiro shouted, his voice raw, tears in his eyes. But they kept taunting, circling closer. He could feel the energy building inside him, it was getting out of control. He had never felt it like this—so wild, so powerful. He couldn’t stop it. Shiro always thought he was just an ordinary boy, weak and powerless. But everything changed that day. He discovered he was part of a world he never knew existed—a world where he could control the elements, a world where he was destined to be a hero. Serevaal is in danger. The Dark One has returned, stronger than before. The people need a savior, but Shiro isn’t sure if that could ever be him. He’s just a boy, not a warrior. With new powers he barely understands and allies he must learn to trust, Shiro must face impossible challenges, uncover buried truths, and fight an evil far greater than he imagined. Betrayal. Sacrifice. Destiny. Will he rise and save Serevaal, or will he fall before the darkness consumes everything?
