Yet, darker things are about to fall on the realm. A crack has appeared on the Obsidian Stone, the sole source of all magic in Grailand. If destroyed, the stone is expected to unleash a power so strong it can erase humanity once and for all.
As the king and the Council are too busy with war and intrigues, Bal Harriott, a young descendant of the previous royal family, now a bounty hunter, becomes the only person to set on a journey to save the Stone. A dangerous path lies ahead, and Bal is not looking forward to it. But when the fate of humanity is at stake, he answers the call, rolling his eyes and swearing to all the five high gods.

Aetheria: The Silent Magus
Seven years ago, the Supreme Magus Rex Ardyn vanished after defying the Crown of Aetheros - destroying the royal fragment that could lead to the mythical Heart of Aeons. To the kingdom, he was a traitor. To the Arcane Council, a heretic. Now, the Heart has been found. Summoned from exile, Rex returns to a kingdom changed by ambition and haunted by its past. Beneath the marble halls of Aetheros, kings whisper of salvation, queens weave promises of power, and the Arcane Council conspires behind silken smiles. But the truth buried in the Heart is not salvation - it is a prison. Within it stirs The Nihilanth, the King of the Void-kin - the ancient darkness sealed away by the First Mage, Merlin, and the Ancients themselves. Bound by duty, haunted by guilt, and shadowed by deceit, Rex must decide whether to help the kingdom that once betrayed him... or let it be consumed by the very power it seeks to control. Because some relics are never meant to be awakened. And in the echoes of Aetheria, even salvation demands a price.
