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.

The trio's excitement turned into frustration and defiance, glaring at the marshals surrounding them and knowing what this was going to come down to if they further refused to go with them.
"Is this it?" Nero muttered. "Are we just... going back?"
Akemi shook her head doggedly. "Not going back." Then she created her crimson katana and readied for a fight.
"Oh, Princess Akemi. I really don't think that's a good idea," Osmos warned.
