The world forgot what it sealed away. Elliot Vael didn't ask to see monsters. He didn't ask to fight them. He only wanted to protect his sister and survive the silence left behind by their missing parents. But when a creature breaches their protective ward, Elliot's life fractures-and the truth begins to bleed through the cracks. Taken in by a powerful sorcerer with eyes like lightning and secrets of his own, Elliot is thrust into a hidden world of Divine Energy, cursed techniques, and ancient forces long buried by time. At Sanctum Ordo, a school that trains the unseen defenders of humanity, Elliot must navigate strange students, forbidden power, and the shadow of a war no one believes is coming. But when an ancient seal is broken beneath the campus, releasing something that should have never stirred again, Elliot's power is no longer just a danger-it's a signal. A signal to voidlings. To the Crimson Cross. And to the echo of something far older than gods. In a world where knowledge is forbidden and truth is dangerous, some powers were never meant to return.
