Arania

In the southern village of Oreh, in the kingdom of Nalvania where magic and advanced technology intertwine, a humble yet ambitious boy named Nero is raised by his grandfather Garrion after his adventurer parents are slain by the legendary dragon, The Black Death. Trained alongside his childhood friend Elliana, a calm and firm swordmage, Nero grows skilled, passionate, and protective, dreaming of adventure in the capital’s guild. Together, they embark on missions, their bond deepening silently, until the deceptive and narcissistic Seven Snakes—a team of elite adventurers—lure them into a trap under the guise of hunting The Black Death. Betrayed, they are sacrificed to Azeroz, a cold, nonchalant dark god with white hair and black eyes, and Elliana dies brutally in Nero’s arms. Yet Nero’s indomitable soul defies death, returning to his body as his hair turns white, eyes crimson, and ancient tattoos glow with godlike power. Stricken with grief and burning with vengeance, he strikes a pact with Azeroz: in exchange for seven souls, Elliana may live again. Now armed with divine power and unbreakable resolve, Nero sets out to hunt the Seven Snakes, reclaim justice, and restore the life of the girl he has silently cherished, in a world where betrayal, magic, and ambition collide.
