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

Are you sure about bringing them along?" Gaia asked softly, her beady green eyes flicking toward the five recruits standing a few paces away. Her tail curled lazily over Aristellus's shoulder, but there was a tension in her voice that she couldn't entirely hide. 


Aristellus sighed, his fingers tightening slightly on the hilts of his daggers. His gaze followed Gaia's, landing on Cole and the others as they double-checked their gear with a mix of nervous energy and quiet determination. "It's too risky to go alone," he said, his tone calm but edged with a hint of resignation. "Even if I had you with me." 


"And bringing a big group? Leaving the town with fewer defenses?" Gaia pressed, raising an eyebrow. 


"That's why I only brought five," Aristellus replied evenly. "A larger group would be impossible to manage in tight spaces. Not to mention, it'd leave the town vulnerable if this turns out to be false information."
