Starting Position:
The world is divided into two realms: the Realm of Light and the Realm of Shadows. These two factions have been at war for centuries, with neither side gaining a lasting advantage. The land between the two realms is a desolate wasteland known as the Borderlands, where few dare to tread.
The protagonist, Kael, is a young man born in the Kingdom of Light, where the Light is revered as the only true path to peace and prosperity. He is considered weak because he has no control over the light magic that others in his realm easily command. Unlike his peers, Kael has been ostracized, looked down upon as a mere burden, and his future seems bleak.
However, Kael’s life changes when he accidentally stumbles into the Borderlands and encounters a mysterious figure—Nyx, a warrior from the Realm of Shadows. Nyx is an expert in shadow magic, a dangerous and forbidden art. She is initially hostile but eventually takes Kael under her wing after he shows an unexpected talent for manipulating shadows. This marks the beginning of his journey to unlock his true potential, which could either end the war or fuel its destruction.
