Story
There was once a quiet valley in Myrwood, and in that valley, a small, modest village nestled between the trees. Its people lived simple lives-toiling the land, sharing the warmth of their close-knit community. Among them was a young man known for his fiery red hair, thick beard, and unshakable determination. He had never been a noble knight nor an experienced fighter; he was but a kind soul, toiling on to keep his family and fellow neighbors safe.
That peace was shattered when Revil, a bitter sorcerer exiled from the royal family, descended upon the village. Revil was seized by his lust for power; he wished to forge an army of creatures to conquer his elder brother's kingdom-a place that had chosen his elder brother as its heir and left him to rot in the darkness. To empower his dark magic, Revil needed the essence of the living souls. He invaded Myrwood, seized every man, woman, and child, and bound their essence to his creations. The only one who survived was Kael, injured but hidden under the wreckage of his house.
Kael awoke to the smoldering ruins of his village. The laughter of children, the warmth of his family, and the common rhythm of village life were gone, substituted by silence and ash. But briefly, grief turned into resolve as he swore in an oath to destroy Revil, to put an end to his tyranny, and to free the spirits of his people from the horrors of Revil's magic.
Kael began with nothing more than a plain sword and the clothes on his back. As he traveled, he honed his expertise in fighting and surviving in the wilds. Along the way, he encountered remnants of Revil's cruelty villages in ruin, twisted magical creatures prowling the lands, and whispers of the sorcerer's growing power. Soon enough, Kael learned from Revil that he had built a colossal dungeon deep in the mountains, a fortress where he continued experiments with his unstoppable army.
From months into years, Kael took the path from a humble farmer to one who was now a seasoned warrior. His blade almost became an extension of himself, his heart burning with the memories of his lost village. Before the entrance to Revil's dungeon, Kael had forgotten his modest frame, changing over time into a looming figure no longer a man who fled the ruins of Myrwood but a force of unyielding determination.
