Chapter 1Prologue

I never fathomed that the world could descend into such darkness. No one ever does. It began as a mere virus outbreak, a distant news story we believed would never touch our lives. But it did, gripping everyone in its relentless hold.

The first sign of trouble came when my fellow soldiers started falling ill. The virus spread with alarming speed, catching us off guard. Those who presented with a simple fever succumbed to death within hours.

This virus morphed people into mindless creatures, oblivious to their own kin. They became the living dead, a twisted phenomenon we had never witnessed before.

I was stationed at a military base located on the outskirts of the city. Isolated from the world, we remained oblivious to the horrors unfolding beyond our walls.

The base descended into chaos. Our commanding officers were the first to succumb, transforming into ruthless zombies. Left leaderless, we fought valiantly to survive amidst the bedlam.

I recall the day I was thrust into the role of commanding officer. It was an immense responsibility, one I questioned whether I was prepared to shoulder. But choices had been stripped away. Out of all the remaining officers, I was the highest-ranking one left standing. It fell to me to restore order in the face of unrelenting chaos.

As we endeavored to rally the scattered forces, the realization dawned upon me that it was not merely my rank that forged their loyalty. They discerned something deeper within me – an unyielding determination, an unwavering resolve to fight relentlessly, no matter how desperate the circumstances.

This was not the path I anticipated when I joined the military, but it was the battle thrust upon us. We pressed forward, even in the darkest of hours, knowing we weren't alone in our fight against both the ravenous zombies and the adversarial forces that conspired against our survival.

Though the world lay in ruins, we stood tall. And for as long as even a fragment of hope endured, we would fight on, breathing life into the last vestiges of humanity.

Lord Raven's Court

In the year 556 of the Runtallian Calendar, a war broke out in the eastern frontier of the Kingdom of Runtallia between the eastern overlord, Duke Gaverone Walruse of Regalia, and the barbarian chief-thane known as Dariun Drunzelle of the Shiradonii tribe, one of the Four Great Tribes of Norsmund, a nation that borders the Kingdom, deemed to be the land of brutes and savages. As the Duke of Regalia marches with his army to defend the disputed land of Kurlon, the barbarians have taken such an opportune moment to launch another incursion near the eastern border of Regalia near the town of Flendle, with the intention of dividing his army. However, despite accepting the town and the surrounding local lords' territories as lost cause in the war in favor of Kurlon– a newly discovered territory bountiful with veins of iron and other minerals– the Duke tasks his third son, Lord Velmund Walruse, along with his retinue, the Order of the Raven Knights, to fend off the attack. Now faced with the plight of defending the border town against a 5,000-strong Norsmundi army with his few yet skilled knights, along with an ill-equipped and undermanned militia, Lord Velmund has no choice but to fulfill his duty as a noble, relying upon his wits and his few but capable retainers to survive his first battle at the tender age of sixteen summers and winters. Contrary to his timid, youthful, and innocent appearance, however, lies his sly and scheming nature, evident by his fondness of dark magical arts specializing in illusion spells. Nevertheless, he himself has no idea of what he is capable of, and what he is destined to become. Meanwhile, further east at the frontier with Norsmund, a plot hatches to ensnare the Duke within the clutches of his treacherous vassals. Not only his life is threatened by these schemes, but his sons Theo and Varus as well. With this scheme put into motion, the Duke and Velmund's siblings, Varus and Theo, would taste fate's twisted humor, with the former meeting his demise in a blaze of glory amidst the field of battle, and the latter two vanishing in incidents shrouded by mysteries. With the death of the patriarch of Regalia and his heirs' disappearance, the young lord who was initially third in line for the succession of the ducal seat became its temporary occupant. And thus, the tale of him and his court begins… CHAPTER RELEASE: January 1st at 12:00 UTC
