Once upon a time, there was a world of sword and magic. Five legendary heroes banded together and slew the Mythical Creature Thanatos, who had been terrorizing the land. The epic tales of the five heroes spread widely, and their reputations grew. They created five different nations, and for many generations, the five nations lived in harmony.

But then, the scourge of the world's curse was unleashed. Famine, war, pestilence, and death spread across the land. The five nations were torn apart, and the people were filled with fear.

Arawn, a young boy from a small village, was tired of this. He knew that someone had to do something to stop the curse, and he was determined to be the one. He set out on a journey to find the cause of the curse and end it once and for all.

Along the way, Arawn met a group of unlikely companions who helped him on his quest. Together, they faced the dangers of the world and the power of the scourge of the world. But Arawn was not just any boy. He was the one who was prophesied to save the world.

Could he fulfil his destiny and become the new hero?

The Cursed Land

The dawn broke with a pale, grey light that filtered through the clouds, casting long shadows across the courtyard of the Imperial Palace. Arawn stood among the knights, fully armoured, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. The air was thick with anticipation, the usual morning chatter replaced by a tense silence. Each man and woman around him knew that they were on the brink of something monumental, a battle that would shape the future of the Empire. 


Emperor Kaize stood on the steps of the palace, his gaze sweeping over the assembled warriors. His purple eye glowed faintly in the dim light, a symbol of the power he wielded and the burden he bore. Beside him stood Lyra Shadowblade, her dark eyes narrowed in focus, her twin daggers gleaming at her sides. She was dressed in her battle gear, a black and silver armour that seemed to absorb the light around her, making her appear as a shadow-given form.
