It is the year 2019 in human time calculation. The continent of Maranurr, home of the Elves has been occupied by the humans for the better part of the last 200 Years, for their large coal, steel and oil deposits.
  Elves like Kyu Ptaha and Garel Hyari struggle for survival in the apartheid-like society of the Maranurrian capital. Kyu's life changes when she finds the mysterious, amnesiac boy called Sage. The human boy speaks the anchient tongue of the first Elves, from 12,000 years ago and despite his lack of memories, seems to have some peculiar knowledge of the Elven lore.
  In the coming weeks the boy turns the young Elf-girls world on her head and she and her friends are thrust into a world of forgotten magic, dangerous international politics and a potentially world-ending prophecy.All Rights Reserved

Seeds of Sorcery by DarthCrusade

Prologue: The Prophecy In ancient times, it was said that a great power would arise, a power that would bring magic back to the forefront of the worlds. It was said that this power would be born of lightning and fire and that it would be wielded by a mage of great strength and courage. The world would face great upheaval and danger, but magic would be the key to survival. There will come those who will unite the kingdoms and empires, and they will bring an end to the darkness that has long shadowed the land. It was said that these mages would be the saviour of the worlds and that they would bring hope and light to all. But for many years, the prophecy remained unfulfilled. Magic seemed to be ending, few remained that could wield it. The darkness seemed to grow. The people slowly forgot and those that remembered lost hope, the kingdoms and empires fell and changed and with it brought chaos. But then, one day, a young girl was born in a small village far from the capital. She was born under the sign of lightning, and she had the power of magic within her. And so, the prophecy began. The first of them had arisen, and the journey to bring magic back had begun.

Only the Awakened, gifted with supernatural abilities, can enter these dungeons and prevent disaster. Leon Valcrest was supposed to be one of them. Born to a prestigious family of high-ranking Hunters, his destiny seemed set in stone-until he underwent the Awakening and received nothing. Rankless. Powerless. Forgotten. But fate had other plans. One night, Leon stumbles upon a Gate that shouldn't exist, pulsing with a sinister crimson glow. Before he can react, it pulls him in, sending him into a place unlike any known dungeon-an ancient, forgotten realm sealed away from the world. And within it, a power long lost to time awakens inside him. Now marked as the Overlord of the Forgotten Gates, Leon must uncover the truth behind these mysterious rifts, face beings beyond human comprehension, and rise above the Hunters who once discarded him. Because the Forgotten Gates are opening again- And he may be the only one who can stop them.
