Arc 1: A Cry For Help

Umbra Mortis never planned to be a mercenary, it just sort of happened that way. That fateful mission in Ereith completely shook up his life-- and now he's in the fast-paced and dangerous world of hired guns-- and he's still trying to raise a family! 

----

Umbra and his son Victor live a standard, suburban life in the metropolitan city of Alcorith, despite being a familiar and master pair. Everything is  normal-and that's the way Umbra likes it. 

However, when his necromancer son insists on answering a letter asking for magical assistance, the two find themselves in a dangerous new world, fighting for their lives.

FORMER TITLE: Élan: A Youngblood World "Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." Five friends embark on a quest to prevent an approaching cryptid-human war. Meanwhile, the human-clothed creature among them resists the hunger to ravage his companions. 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--and 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.

Earth and humanity were saved. The little planet that was to thank for their salvation was named Umbra. Corporal Damien Kurosawa is a marine for the United. Solar. Systems.

Arc 8: The Necromancer's Apprentice When a family outing turns into a deadly situation, Matthew, Umbra, and Victor encounter a powerful new necromancer named Morena. Even stranger, she seems to have ties to Matthew's past! Victor's break from the exciting abruptly ends when Morena offers him an apprenticeship and he's thrown violently out of his comfort zone. As Victor struggles to control his anxiety, it seems that studying magic isn't the only problem he has to deal with- Morena has some secrets of her own (as per usual with the Mortis family). Meanwhile, Pilate starts an apprenticeship of his own with the mysterious Überdragon Life. Pilate is enjoying the newfound attention and sense of purpose, but Life has other plans for him.
