In the kingdom of Emerald, the name Soru'draigg stands as a symbol of power and prestige, a lineage that guards the empire with unmatched prowess. But beneath this legacy lies a ruthless truth—only the strong are named, and the weak are forgotten.

Born without magic, a nameless child is cast into the shadows of his family, exiled to a hidden branch where failures are discarded. Yet, he is plagued by visions—fragments of a past he does not recall and a future he cannot avoid.

As he embarks on a journey across the continent, honing his skills and forging unexpected bonds, the nameless boy uncovers the dark truths buried within his family and the empire they serve. His quest for acceptance turns into a struggle for survival as he delves deeper into the mysteries of the Soru'draigg legacy and the curse that binds him to a fate far more sinister than he imagined.

Everyman's Nightmare

Leos' eyes fluttered open to the faint, flickering light of a campfire. The air smelled of smoke, damp earth, and a subtle sweetness he couldn't place.
