Grimoires

Thousands of years ago on the continent of Liotenia, a single man sought to destroy the world and to create a new world for himself. By discovering a way to imbue ink with magic, he was able to record spells in books he called Grimoires, which allowed him to use magic by reading what he wrote aloud. He had enchanted them so that anyone else who read them would be unable to remember the words inside, and he rose a nation and an army of his own to begin his conquest for worldwide power. The spells he wrote were only limited to his twisted imagination and the language he spoke: a runic language long forgotten after he nearly wiped out the human race and killed himself in his own insanity. With so much power, his nation collapsed in on itself as well, and thus the human race lay still for thousands of years afterward.

But even after his death, the Grimoires still survived. In present-day Liotenia, humans speak a new language and cannot read the runes inside the books. None except for a select few who are descendants of the people of the past.

Thus, history repeats itself, and a new war for power begins. What will Lyre, a simple young man who has never traveled outside his small village, do when he finds out that he is a Descendant and can read the runes in the Grimoires?
