Five great continents. Endless wars. In this world, Mana is destiny. It decides who rises as a hero, a king, or a monster. But Tyda never got his chance. Before he could even attend the Guild Selection, his home—Lerin Village on the Eastern Continent—was destroyed by Legion Commander Zed. With no awakened power, he stood alone and sacrificed everything to save his people. To the world, he was forgotten. To Gaiden Minamoto, he became a legend. Born in the same village and blessed with the rarest power—Divine Mana—Gaiden grows up determined to honor Tyda’s will. He leaves the Eastern Continent to join a Guild in the South, while his mentors stay behind to build their own strength. Yet not everyone moved on. Tyda’s closest friends—Maya, Bigolo, Bren, Bram, Glendo, Judy, and Rona—were also trained under Teacher Long. But grief turned into blame, and they became bitter enemies consumed by anger. When Gaiden meets these seniors, still full of pain and rage… what will they do? Will he bring them back from the darkness, or be forced to fight them to the death? And the biggest question of all: If Tyda returns one day… what will Gaiden do? Will he welcome back the hero he admired? Or stand against him if he has become the greatest threat the world has ever known? But one thing is certain: Aurora Guild—once empty, forgotten, and the weakest of all—will rise.
