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

Arawn sprinted back to the battlefield, each step a defiance against the instinct to flee. His breaths were ragged, his muscles screamed for rest, but he refused to yield. The battlefield stretched before him, a chaotic maelstrom of clashing steel and monstrous roars. His eyes locked on Lyra, her figure unwavering amidst the storm. She was the sword of their resistance, unbroken despite the overwhelming odds. 


As Arawn drew closer, Lyra caught sight of him from the corner of her eye. Amid the flurry of attacks, a fleeting thought crossed her mind. This boy has guts. He doesn’t know when to back down. Perhaps... perhaps he’s worth it. She gritted her teeth, focusing her resolve. “If you’re going to fight, don’t be a liability,” she muttered under her breath, deflecting a devastating blow from the hooded figure’s claymore.
