Blood For Magic

Orion's life, marred by relentless tragedy, takes a dark turn with his grandfather's final message, unveiling the existence of an Ancient Organization and entrusting him with a foreboding mission. With only a tattered map fragment and the burden of his family's shadowed legacy, Orion plunges into a world where malevolent magic holds it's sway over all and ancient terrors lurk within every corner. In this treacherous landscape where the lines between good and evil blur, even the gods play their hand, their motives as inscrutable as they are terrifying. Where will the sinister map drag him? What malevolent secrets make the gods so untrustworthy? And why was he fated to bear this harrowing burden? Only time will unveil the dread truths. As Orion delves deeper into the nightmare, he faces a destiny steeped in shadows, where survival means defying fate itself. For in a world where gods are either all-powerful or all-good, one thing is certain: they cannot be both.

The blue moon

After the intense interrogation, Orion stepped out of the royal residence of Revlon City, a glint of defiance in his eyes. He strode into the bustling streets, his demeanor unshaken by the scrutiny he had just endured. The guards he had bested earlier glared at him as he left their confines, their eyes smoldering with unspoken resentment. Yet, bound by the Throne's decree, they could do nothing but watch as he walked away.

Orion moved confidently, refraining the use of magic to hasten his return to the inn. His instincts told him he was being shadowed by two individuals. They concealed their mana flows with an expertise that marked them as elite, most likely from the Throne's personal cohort. Even Orion, with his exceptional senses could only sense their presence and failed to pin point their location. "They are good," orion admitted.

"Not too naive, then," he muttered, acknowledging Teress's precautionary measure.
