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 air was thick with death, an oppressive weight that pressed down on every soul present. Arawn felt it in his bones, a chill that clawed at his resolve and whispered promises of doom. The hooded figure’s aura hung heavy, its intensity suffocating, each step it took leaving behind withered plants and despair in its wake. 


In a single fluid motion, the figure raised its claymore. Black lightning crackled violently around the blade, leaping off in jagged arcs that scorched the ground. The energy pulsed outward, creating a void-like silence that seemed to swallow all other sounds. 


Lyra instinctively stepped forward, placing herself between the figure and Arawn. Her katana glowed faintly as she raised it, channelling her mana and aura into a protective stance. Sweat trickled down her brow as the immense energy from the figure’s claymore bore down on her.
