In the fractured world of Terra Nova, Ethan Caldwell stands alone, haunted by a past he can't escape. Enrolled at Crimson Peak Academy, he discovers a hidden potential that connects him to an ancient prophecy. As tensions rise between powerful institutions—Aurora Heights University and Valiant Crest Institute—Ethan must navigate a treacherous landscape of alliances and betrayals.
With dark guilds lurking in the shadows and a continent on the brink of war, Ethan's journey becomes a battle for survival. Will he embrace his destiny and rise as a hero, or will despair consume him? Chronicles of Despair and Destiny is a tale of self-discovery and the struggle for hope in a world teetering on the edge.
I don't do logical, nerd, or book-worm score. What matters to me is that the story is my vibe - much better than Dragon Life in current airing anime for me. Got hooked in chapter 2.
