Synopsis
In a world where humans fear those born with celestial powers, Aelric enters the world amidst a storm of prejudice and superstition. His birth, marked by his luminous appearance and ethereal traits, sparks fear among villagers who believe him to be cursed. Fleeing into the perilous Whispering Abyss to protect their son, Aelric's parents face an impossible choice: abandon him to save his life.
Left alone in the forest, Aelric's cries draw the attention of demons lurking in the shadows. Just as all hope seems lost, a mysterious figure known as the Mana Seer intervenes, rescuing Aelric from certain death. Recognizing the child's potential and the mana within him, the Seer vows to raise Aelric as his own, shielding him from the dangers of both humans and demons.
As Aelric grows under the Seer's guidance, he discovers his innate connection to mana and the Astral heritage that sets him apart. The forest becomes his sanctuary and training ground, shaping him into a formidable protector against the darkness that threatens his existence. Yet, lurking in the shadows are secrets about his true identity and the ominous prophecy that foretells his pivotal role in shaping the world's future.
Aelric's journey is one of survival, self-discovery, and embracing the power within, as he navigates a world that fears and misunderstands him. Amidst the whispers of the Whispering Abyss, he will forge alliances, confront adversaries, and ultimately confront the destiny that awaits him.
