Decades after the war that sealed the world’s fate against Tyrus, the legendary hero Inavy Stormbreak has become an eternal symbol. Now, a new generation of heroes rises amid the resurgence of an even older threat: Kairon, the Cosmic Emperor — an exiled entity once banished by Yon — returns to impose his vision of absolute balance upon reality, no matter the cost. In this new chapter of the saga, we follow Ryan Valeborn, a seemingly aura-less young man, constantly mocked and rejected, yet harboring a forbidden power within: Reversum, an ability capable of nullifying, reflecting, and reversing cosmic laws. By his side stand Ethan Stormbreak, son of Inavy and heir to the lightning and the legendary bloodline; and Ryu Nox, bearer of the shadowed balance between light and darkness. Together, they face their greatest challenge yet: the Hero Draft, a trial that will unveil the world’s future protectors — and determine who is ready to confront Kairon’s empire. With secrets from the past emerging, betrayals from former allies like Kai Hayashi, and new bonds being forged among the young heroes, Rise of Kairon is a story of legacy, resilience, justice, and the unyielding power of those who refuse to give up.
