Ending Never Comes
Born from a forgotten age, Arc Kurnetsov is a wanderer who has walked alongside humanity since its first steps. Once one of the seven pioneers blessed by the Elves, Arc outlived his companions and became a silent witness to the rise and fall of civilizations. Though the world remembers him only as a myth, Arc continues to walk bound not by glory, but by an old promise and quiet exhaustion.
Far to the north, a peaceful village is destroyed by demons, leaving a single survivor: a boy named Ulfric Farn. Haunted by guilt and loss, Farn arrives in the kingdom of Orvethra as a refugee, carrying little more than grief and a broken dream of becoming a great adventurer. When despair nearly claims him, his life changes after an unexpected encounter with a calm, unnamed swordsman Arc.
Without grand speeches or false comfort, Arc guides Farn through discipline, hardship, and time. Training becomes routine, pain becomes familiar, and slowly, Farn learns to live again not to escape the past, but to walk forward with it.
Their journey grows when they meet Lyra, a young mage with a sharp tongue and a gentle heart. What begins as coincidence becomes companionship, and eventually, a party. Together, they travel across villages and forests, helping where they can, earning meals instead of praise, and learning that the world is as beautiful as it is cruel.
Legends resurface, truths are revealed, and Arc’s true name is finally spoken but not as a declaration of heroism. To Farn and Lyra, he is not a myth or a savior, but a guide who chooses to walk beside them rather than above them.
Though their ultimate goal is to one day face the Demon King, their journey does not rush toward war. Instead, it unfolds through shared meals, quiet laughter, small victories, and the slow healing of old wounds. Love grows gently. Hope returns without force.
This is not a story about saving the world.
It is a story about learning how to live in it.
