After the brutal loss of his beloved grandfather, Liam Hunter embarks on a harrowing journey into the heart of the Dark Forest, known as the Forest of Kyrell, with a singular goal: to gain the strength necessary to honor his grandfather's memory and to never lose anyone dear to him again.

At just ten years old, Liam is thrust into a world of darkness and malevolence, where he endures four grueling years of training and transformation. In this shadowy realm, he is reborn as a fierce warrior, driven by a relentless desire to eradicate every demon and ultimately confront the Demon King, Vorgath himself.

To achieve his formidable goal, Liam must forsake any emotional connections that could weaken his resolve. The once vibrant and joyful boy is transformed by his trials into a cold and unfeeling combatant, hardened by the harsh realities of his quest.

This is the story of Liam Hunter—the last wielder of dark magic—whose journey through darkness and sacrifice will shape him into a force of vengeance and resolve.

In the months that followed, the Solara and Crescent Kingdoms poured their full attention into strengthening their military might. Training grounds were expanded, academies restructured, and new knight programs established—all in preparation for the unseen war that loomed beyond the horizon. Yet amid their feverish efforts, they continued to keep the Tempest Kingdom in the dark, refusing to share the vital truths Serah had revealed. Their silence was a political blade—one wielded with quiet arrogance.
