THE STEL STORIES Part 5: Ascension

In the wake of Atlas' fall and the rise of the Dark Relics , Team STEL journeys to Vacuo in search of the final relic-the Mirror of Truth. But what begins as a desperate mission soon spirals into something far greater, as the Mirror draws them into a realm of light where their deepest fears and hidden truths await.

While STEL is trapped within the Mirror's trials, the Dark Avatar rises. With ancient Grimm at his command and the shattered relics feeding his strength, his shadow spreads across Vacuo, forcing the Dark Guardians into a doomed battle to hold him back.

As each member of STEL faces their trial, alliances fracture, secrets are revealed, and bonds are tested. But even as they fight to escape the Mirror, a terrible truth emerges:
Every relic destroyed has not weakened the darkness-it has restored it.

Now, the Dark Avatar stands on the brink of ascension. And when the dust settles, not all of STEL will return.

The final war begins.
