There are many mysterious lands, peoples and magic in Netherün, and within each, stories to be explored and new mysteries to discover.

The Blades of Arcane by KingRa2144
6 parts Ongoing
In a world ruled by powerful magical families, where strength and status are determined by the mastery of magic and the ferocity of one's aura, King Ignis stands out-though not for reasons he would choose. Born into the illustrious Ignis family, famed for their fiery magic and physical prowess, King was expected to carry the family's legacy forward. But unlike his siblings, King was born without the ability to wield magic, a failure in the eyes of his father, Lord Ignis. But what King lacks in magical ability, he makes up for in swordsmanship, and with the awakening of a dark, forbidden power within him- the Demon Aura-King's journey takes a darker turn. This power, feared and misunderstood, enhances his physical abilities and grants him new, deadly techniques. Yet it comes with a price: a growing hunger for destruction and an insidious whispering in his mind, urging him towards violence. (I'm new to this so give me time)

FORMER TITLE: Élan: A Youngblood World "Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." In a world where magic holds the essence to life, there is still no telling where fate determines your place will be. When the Cardinal Empire of Nyrhaea and its time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, an immortal dark entity in the guise of a human, a grieving swordsman, an electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the prophecied, apocalyptic world war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood. With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour to fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world--where death is an impossible remedy to attain--the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to achieve freedom from the shackles of fate. An antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past? And what are they willing to risk to liberate a cruel world beyond saving that hangs in the state of trust and sanity? *~* Contains a few depictions of blood, violence, and eldritch elements.
