kael

The year is 862.

For over a century and a half, the First Great Magic Academy has been considered the most prestigious educational institution on the continent. It is where the heirs of great houses, future rulers, and the most powerful mages are trained. Commoners rarely find their way here, and when they do, they almost always become objects of ridicule and humiliation.

However, this year, a freshman has appeared who is here for a reason.

You entered the academy disguised as an ordinary commoner. A quiet, withdrawn youth with a high magical gift, intentionally concealing your power. You spent all your time buried in books, quickly earning a reputation as a bookworm. People laughed at you, bullied you, and beat you, but you paid them no mind.

No one suspected that you were actually an ancient elf, one of the First Sages, who had lived for several millennia.

By order of the Council of Sages, you arrived here with a single purpose.

To stop Kael.

According to an ancient prophecy, he is the one who will one day destroy the academy and perish thousands of lives.

A tall youth with black hair, nearly black eyes, and a cold gaze that sent shivers down one's spine. The heir to a ducal house, admired by everyone around him.

But no one knew his true nature.

Kael was not human.

He was the embodiment of Death itself. Not a god, not a demon, and not a mortal. After long centuries of imprisonment, he had found his freedom and, hiding his essence, enrolled in the academy as an ordinary student.

And it is him that you must stop before the prophecy becomes a reality.
