"The Arc: The Beginning and the Birth of the Legend"

Zukzoka: The Last Light

In a world where magic flows through veins and determines destiny, great families are born with supernatural powers. These powers and traditions are passed down through generations, shaping the fate of the world. While some families stand for light and others for darkness, one story will change everything: the story of Zukzoka.

Eyes of Fire and Water

Zukzoka was seen as an ordinary child by many, despite being born into a family with a long history of magical strength. His black hair and brown eyes were unique, but within the family, he was considered the weakest. While his siblings progressed rapidly, mastering various forms of magic—particularly developing their unique Ringka energy—Zukzoka was unable to show any real power.

Inner Battle

But there was something strange about Zukzoka—something only a few knew. His eyes held a mysterious secret. They glowed like fire, and whenever he tried to use his powers, energy would erupt from within him, leaving him confused and shaken. This made him avoid trying to control his magic altogether.

Yet, deep in his heart, Zukzoka knew there was something great hidden inside him. At first, he couldn't understand why his eyes flared like that. Was it just magical influence? Or was something bigger waiting for him? He always felt neglected by his family and longed to be as strong as his brothers, who always outshined him. Jino, his middle brother, amazed everyone with his ability to control nature's elements, while Narako, the eldest, mastered wind and natural resources with unmatched skill.

The Serano Family

Amid all this chaos stood his mother, Noel—renowned for her immense power and incredible intuition. She was the sole leader of the Light Guardians, and carried a vast magical and cultural legacy from the Serano family. The Seranos were known for their strict traditions, including arranging marriages between relatives to preserve their bloodline.

But Noel married Dekar, who came from outside the family. Some didn't approve of this union, but Noel followed her heart. As a result, although their children were born into the Serano family, they inherited very little of its legendary power. Instead of the traditional blonde hair and golden eyes, they bore other, unconventional traits.

This marriage also brought many enemies and ignited rivalry between different individuals. Among those was Serajwa, Noel's cousin—one of Dekar's fiercest opponents.

Serajo: Love and Revenge

Serajo believed he was the one destined to marry Noel. He was a Serano by blood, and carried the power the family sought to protect. But Noel rejected him and chose Dekar instead. This led Serajo to seek new ways to fulfill his ambitions.

Nero: The Mysterious Leader

Power wasn't exclusive to the Serano family. Around the same time, Nero, Serajwa's son, was born—part of the family's effort to restore its lost strength. Nero carried the golden blood of the Seranos, and was expected to achieve what his father could not. He was incredibly powerful, possessing legendary magic, but also harbored deep resentment over his family's internal conflict. This would one day lead to a clash—and eventual strong friendship—between him and Zukzoka.

The Dark Fate: Lord of Darkness

In ancient times, a Dark Lord sought to conquer the world. He possessed boundless energy and aimed to unify the world under his magic. But this power didn't last forever—he was being used by a powerful, destructive Djinn King named Selzar. The heroes of that era managed to imprison him using a mysterious magical spell.

However, Cairo, one of his loyal followers, vowed to find a way to free him. Cairo possessed immense power and commanded a loyal following. He founded the Gradis Organization, a secret group of 1000 members whose sole mission was to release the Dark Lord and restore balance in the world.

Zukzoka: The End or the Beginning?

But Zukzoka's story wasn't just about magic—it was about inner growth. With every challenge he faced, he uncovered more of his inner strength and learned to control his burning eyes. A part of him craved power, yet he knew that power always comes at a cost. Through his journey, he would discover that while his family followed its own path, his destiny was his own to choose.

In the end, Zukzoka faced two options: remain in his family's shadow, trying to keep up with his powerful siblings—or unleash his true strength and become the one to shift the balance of power in the world.

The Multiverse

There were multiple realms, all ruled by one being who aimed to dominate the human world and place it under his mercy. He called himself The Lord of Worlds, and commanded many other realms under his supreme control—each with its own unique ruler.

The End… or the Beginning of the End?

The end was near—very near. But was it truly the end? Or was it the beginning of something new? In a world filled with magical battles, conspiracies, and family feuds, the real story had yet to be written. In the end, Zukzoka would learn that the greatest challenge wasn't facing legendary powers—but understanding himself.

As he approached the truth about his true powers, he would have to make fateful choices that could lead him to confront his cursed destiny—and perhaps rewrite it. But is he ready? And will his strength be enough to stop the darkness? Or will the end be more bitter than ever?
