Nero died at the young age of 20, before even graduating college. He crawled out of a pond in a strangers garden and was met by a beautiful blonde boy, Pierce, who informed him of his demise, and that since his Spirit made it through the portal, rather than Ascending, it meant that he was destined to become the Familiar of a Sorcerer in that realm. Pierce took him to his uncle Malachai, who is one of the most prestigious and powerful Sorcerers of his time.
Nero quickly displays his incredible talent for magic, drawing attention from The Embassy, the organization in charge of managing the magical world. For someone of Nero's skillet, he would be considered too dangerous to let pair up with a Sorcerer, especially one of Malachai's caliber. Because of this, they choose to hide the extent of Nero's abilities from The Embassy, so they can work together. Once passing the trials set by Malachai, Nero was given his name and a new identity as his Familiar. As such, the pair were expected to fight against evil and slay Demons who would seek to harm humans and cause mass destruction to the mundane realm. As they spent time together, the chemistry between Malachai and Nero becomes undeniable, leaving them to question how close their bond grows and whether or not to cross the line of expectations for a Familiar and Sorcerer pair.
Things quickly prove to be more than they seem within The Embassy, leaving Malachai, Nero, and Pierce to sift through what are truth and what are lies. As things grow increasingly dangerous the farther they investigate, the trio risks everything to uncover the truth behind The Embassy and the magical world that they live in.
A story of magic, deception, and proof that there is life (and love) after death.
In a world where magic lingers just beneath the surface, two ancient sorcerers, Merlin and Malakar, once stood united against an ancient evil. Merlin, a master of time manipulation with other range of magic abilities, and Malakar, a dark elf bound by his father's malevolent pact, fought side by side for centuries. However, upon Merlin's death, he entrusts Malakar with spreading the magic they've safeguarded. To preserve their legacy, Malakar reincarnates both their souls for a future battle against an old darkness.
In modern times, Merlin is reborn as Kaito, the world's most powerful human sorcerer, while Malakar reincarnates as Akira, a 16-year-old boy who struggles with his destiny. Akira is haunted by the idea of being Malakar's reincarnation and is reluctant to embrace the darker side of his past life. Alongside them is a new generation of sorcerers-Mikage, a fiery prodigy; Yukiko, a cold and disciplined Ice Mage; and Hakuren, an ancient mentor with deep knowledge of magic. Together, they must confront rising threats, including monstrous beings hunting Akira and the sinister forces of an ancient evil stirring once again.
As Akira wrestles with his identity and the evil magic inherited from Malakar, he forms new bonds and must face trials that will determine the fate of magic in this era. With a mysterious primordial beasts locked within him, a ghostly mentor teaching him forgotten arts, and the growing danger looming over them all, Akira must decide if he will embrace or defy his destiny in this new age of sorcery.
