After the brutal loss of his beloved grandfather, Liam Hunter embarks on a harrowing journey into the heart of the Dark Forest, known as the Forest of Kyrell, with a singular goal: to gain the strength necessary to honor his grandfather's memory and to never lose anyone dear to him again.

At just ten years old, Liam is thrust into a world of darkness and malevolence, where he endures four grueling years of training and transformation. In this shadowy realm, he is reborn as a fierce warrior, driven by a relentless desire to eradicate every demon and ultimately confront the Demon King, Vorgath himself.

To achieve his formidable goal, Liam must forsake any emotional connections that could weaken his resolve. The once vibrant and joyful boy is transformed by his trials into a cold and unfeeling combatant, hardened by the harsh realities of his quest.

This is the story of Liam Hunter—the last wielder of dark magic—whose journey through darkness and sacrifice will shape him into a force of vengeance and resolve.

After revealing his intentions to Serah, Galen had gone on to tell both his mother and father about his decision. His mother, Queen Seralyne, being the embodiment of warmth and compassion, was struck with deep worry. She tried her utmost to dissuade him, pleading that the Nether Realm was not a place meant for mortals—it was a pit of ruin, a realm where the light of life rarely returned. Her voice trembled as she spoke, fearing that this decision might mark the last time she would ever see her son again. She reminded him that even the bravest knights had ventured there and never come back, that the horrors within that realm were beyond what any human could face.
