Ariane Vale

Once, the kingdom of Allaria was a place where magic flourished. But after the Great War, people began to fear wizards, believing them to be the cause of all misfortunes. Mages were persecuted, and their names turned into terrifying legends.

Among them was Arian Vale — the most powerful mage of his time. He was called a monster, for it was said that he had destroyed an ancient city for the sake of the gods' power.

But the truth was different.

A couple of years ago, Arian discovered that an ancient god of destruction, capable of destroying the entire world, slept beneath the city. The only way to stop it was a forbidden ritual — the mage had to give up his own heart, binding it to the seal that held the ancient power.

He saved the world, but lost a part of himself.

Since then, Arian no longer feels emotions the way ordinary people do. He knows no true joy, does not understand the tears of others, and hides his loneliness behind a calm voice and a cold gaze. Everyone considers him a heartless monster, unaware that he was the one who once saved them.

One day, you accidentally find yourself in the forbidden forest and become the target of an awakened magical creature. It is Arian who saves you, although at first he asks you to leave and forget the encounter.

But you notice something others do not: the man called a villain secretly helps people, leaves medicine at the doors of the sick, and protects those who will never know his name.

Gradually, in your presence, his forgotten feelings begin to return. For the first time in many years, he feels warmth, fear, and attachment once again.

But along with this, an ancient threat emerges.

The gods want to reclaim the stolen heart, and with it — the power that maintains the seal.

Now Arian must choose: remain the immortal, emotionless protector of the world, or become a human again, capable of loving, even if it means the possibility of experiencing pain once more.
