Hello readers, this is something coming straight from my heart. To clarify, this story holds much more than what you will read in the early chapters. The world of this story is far bigger than what you will first see.
In this journey, you will meet kings, pirates also known as Tideborn, mysterious creatures, the mythology of the mage world, and many more things yet to come. If you are someone who wants everything to happen quickly, then this story might not be for you.
There are many stories out there that throw in dragons and different creatures as if they are nothing special. But in my story, everything has its own mythological significance. Everything deserves its proper build-up.
This is a long novel. At the start, you may see the MC as weak, powerless, and just hoping for his moment. But that's not the case. The MC will rise, though it may take some time. And when he finally awakens his mage abilities, the world around him will feel far MORE grander. That's exactly how I designed the concept of Ash Phantom.
I just ask you to stay with me, be loyal to this story. In the beginning, you may notice flaws in my writing, but I am improving every day—working towards something greater.
GRAND ERA—a time when something happened that changed the entire mage world. No one truly remembers the people of that age. Only a few legends survived the erosion of time, and among them, one name shines brightest—Ryuki.
Ryuki was the man who saved countless lives from something strange… something great. An orphan by birth, yet he rose to heights unimaginable. He married a woman of angelic grace, and today his descendants carry his name with pride—Ryuki.
During his time, Ryuki built the very system of power the world now follows. Commander Ace would become the leader of a city, and under his vision, every citizen would live with pride, with equality, with honor.
But there was another name… a name that echoed in whispers, in hidden stories—Ash Phantom. No records mention him. No history book dares to speak his tale. And yet, young Auren Ryuki keeps hearing that name. He dreams of becoming a mage, believing that perhaps—just perhaps—he is Ash Phantom himself.
That name… sacred to the few who truly know it. But in the end, who really knows? The world is far bigger than what the people of Winland could ever imagine.
👉 "When Auren begins his adventure, readers will witness how vast this world truly is—pirates, kings, tribes, the endless hunt for power, and even the dark underworld waiting at every corner."
