Julian was born between worlds.

His father was an Elven King. His mother was a Human Princess who was exiled for having him. Born half human, half elf, he was labeled an abomination from birth.

Now Julian is on the run, hunted by humans and elves alike. Both sides see his mixed blood as a threat that must be eliminated.

But when he stumbles into an ancient ruin, his blood awakens something that had been sealed away long before he was born.

A relic that caused war instead of peace. A system that no one was meant to control.

In a world of swords, magic, and dragons, his name alone could start a war. But with this system, Julian might become more than just a hunted prince—he could either unite the kingdoms... or destroy them all.

The world has always measured strength, not by crown, not by coin, but by the power flowing in one's blood.


Among Humans, it is called Tiers—eight levels that climb from the faint spark of magic to those who can shatter mountains with a gesture.


Among Elves, the word is different. They speak of Arcs—four steps of mastery that shape not just magic, but the very essence of self.


Humans climb their ladder through sheer training, talent, and discipline. Each Tier represents a step in control over mana and destructive potential.


Tier 1–2 → Novices. Can barely light a spark or coat a blade with mana.


Tier 3 → Adepts. Can channel spells and weapon resonance. First real "soldiers."


Tier 4–5 → Veterans. Tactical-level mages/warriors. Can alter the tide of a battle.


Tier 6–7 → Elites. City-breakers, war generals, feared champions.


Tier 8 → Apex Humans. Legends in their own right. Their weapons are extensions of will.


Elves measure growth differently — their ladder is spiritual and resonance-based. Their strength flows not just from mana, but from harmony with the Arcane Weave.


Arc 1 → Foundation. Equal to a Human Tier 1–3. Control is smooth, instinctual.


Arc 2 → Flow-State. Equal to Tier 4–5. Power bends to their will like a dance.


Arc 3 → Shapers. Equal to Tier 6–7. They alter battlefields with a gesture.


Arc 4 → Mythic. Equal to Tier 8. Almost untouchable, spoken of in reverence.


Affinities are divided into two categories:


1. CORE AFFINITIES – Fundamental elements and physical forces:


Pyro → Fire, lightning, offense, high damage over time.


Cryo → Ice, control, freezing enemies or creating barriers.


2. ASTRAL AFFINITIES – Mystic or rare level powers:


Void → Nullification, debuffs, disrupting other affinities.


Chrono → Time manipulation, slowing enemies, enhancing self-speed.


Spatial → Teleportation, warping terrain.


Tier 1–3: Can equip 1 Affinity from Core Affinities only.


Tier 4–5: Can equip 1 Core Affinities + 1 Astral Affinity.


Tier 6–7: Can equip 2 Core Affinities + 1 Astral Affinity.


Tier 8: Can equip 2 Core Affinities + 2 Astral Affinities.


Know this—every being is bound by the laws of Affinities. Core Affinities may rise from level one to ten, but Astral Affinities… are rare, constrained, and cannot exceed level three. There is no exception.
