In the fabled realm of Torath—where dragons soar, magic lingers in the very air, and kingdoms teeter on the edge of chaos—Caleb begins a journey that will test the very core of his spirit. Once an unremarkable traveler, Caleb is drawn into a fellowship of unlikely heroes: warriors forged in fire, rogues as silent as shadows, mages bound to the pulse of mana itself. Together, they march into lands where legends slumber and nightmares wake.

Each trial on the road shapes Caleb—every skirmish, every haunted ruin, every clash with a beast or blade hones his strength. Through treacherous forests, across mage-crafted cities of wonder, and into the heart of forgotten ruins, Caleb grows—not just in might, but in the fierce, untamed magic that burns within him. With fire as his ally and resolve as his fuel, he kindles power from within, forging himself in flame. And in time, he becomes more than a bearer of destiny—he becomes its wildfire, scorching a path through all that would stand in his way.
