Ruin Smoke
In a vast world steeped in mystery, its corners thrum with legendary creatures and mythical beings, while among humans, some borrow the powers of their ancestors, and others carry those powers in their very veins. Yet the latter were outcasts in the kingdoms, welcomed only in lands unknown, where danger and shadows reign.
From the dust of oblivion rose Valerian, the last of his clan, cast out in the eyes of the realm, driven by a cryptic call echoing from within, urging him to seek his true self. Before him sprawls a labyrinthine world: towering castles that pierce the clouds, poisoned swamps, desolate forests harboring beasts unrecorded in any chronicle, and entities from ages long forgotten by mankind.
But his journey was not written for chosen heroes, nor measured by victories etched in walls of glory—it is weighed by his endurance in the face of ruin. He must plunge into the depths of madness and confront both men and monsters, where paths cross amid the wreckage and the world teeters on the brink of collapse. For this is no fate he can refuse, but a road already drawn in a land devoured by ruin and drowned in darkness.
