The Raven Thief

Born of the wastelands, Spheris Arnadel, a young skilled thief, finds himself subject to a twist of fate when he steals a powerful relic and becomes a Bearer — humans gifted with powers from the Gods. As a punishment for his theft, he is cast into an otherworldly realm alongside other Bearers, where he faces off against monstrous beasts and powerful enemies. Yet, in his determination to return to the Continent and save his dying mother, Spheris is hell-bent on surviving the abyssal world. Even if it means giving his body to the Dark God whose powers he had stolen... even if it means losing all of his humanity.

A red spark sizzled. And from that red spark, more manifested, hissing loudly and with evident menace as they slowly surrounded Spheris's prone body. These red sparks then began to engulf him, creating a force field of crimson scintillating energy.

Seeing this, Spheris slowly began to pull his bloody form from the ground. His head was throbbing, his eyes were half blind and blood was dripping out of his nose like scarlet tears. Yet, he managed to make out the energy field that had capsulized itself around him.

Peering through the red field, he could see Pa Tsuna regarding him with a callous, hard-hearted gaze. With his hands at both sides, the Mogul watched impassively as the red sparks pierced Spheris's body.

The Avatar let out a loud, harrowing cry of pain that seemed to echo in the laden arena. The red bolts tore deep into his muscles, piercing his tendons and making their way into his neurons, sucking on the energy that coursed through them.
