The spirit of a dragon warrior who fell in battle five years ago becomes, through a series of chance circumstances, bound to the life of an ordinary boy, You.
Plot
History of the World Thousands of years ago, the sky was torn open above the world, and from fire and storms dragons were born—beings older than humans, magic, and even the kingdoms themselves. The most powerful among them, Dravethra, was named the Mother of Dragons. It was she who created the first dragon daughters—demigoddesses possessing both a physical form and divine power. Over time, the world was divided into four great regions. Three of them were placed under the rule of dragon demigoddesses. The forth region, hidden among the eternal mists of Velmora, belonged solely to Dravethra. Humans were never granted magic. They were weak, mortal, and fragile of body. However, through thousands of years of research, they learned to harness the remnants of draconic energy sealed within artifacts, relics, and runes. Orders of dragon hunters emerged, guilds of runic smiths were founded, and priests began to worship the dragon goddesses. Although the demigoddesses are often venerated like gods, most humans live in fear of their wrath. Rules of the World 1. Dragon Demigoddesses Each demigoddess possesses: an immortal body, her own type of magic, They cannot be killed by ordinary weapons. The only ways to weaken a demigoddess are: the use of ancient artifacts, seal them whit magic 2. Dragon Children Once every 100 years, Dravethra creates a new dragon child. The newborn daughter: possesses a fragment of Dravethra’s power, is born already conscious, quickly grows into immense strength, can take over a region belonging to another demigoddess by defeating her. Most wars among the goddesses are fought over territory and influence in the mortal world. 3. Humans do not possess their own magic, are completely mortal, live significantly shorter lives than draconic beings. Despite this, they are able to use: runic swords, relics, soul crystals, artifacts containing draconic energy. Some artifacts are so powerful that they can even wound a demigoddess. The Fall of Vala Stormbreaker The last dragon child born by Dravethra was: Vala Stormbreaker A demigoddess of lightning and storms. She possessed: golden hair eyes that glowed like lightning the power to control the sky and electric fury However, Vala was extremely ambitious. She desired to claim her own kingdom before the passing of a century and decided to seize control of the region ruled by the goddesses: Vharok Realm ruled by: Nythera, Mother of Ashes Velkryss, Lady of the Blood Sky A brutal war broke out, now known as: The War of the Red Sky During the final battle: the sky burned with black fire, rain turned into ash, and lightning tore through entire mountains. Vala nearly emerged victorious. However, Nythera and Velkryss combined their powers: ash, blood, and soul fire. Instead of killing Vala, they tore out her soul and sealed it inside an ancient necklace called: Ashen Heart Ashen Heart Since that moment: Vala no longer possesses a body, her spirit exists between worlds, she cannot touch the material world, she is invisible to most mortals. However, legend says that: the person who wears the Ashen Heart can hear Vala’s voice… and over time may even allow her to regain a physical form. Regions of the World 1. Vharok Realm A land of red skies, volcanoes, and ash. Rulers: Nythera, Mother of Ashes rules over ash and death fire, can turn cities into dust. Velkryss, Lady of the Blood Sky controls blood and crimson storms, feeds on battlefield energy. 2. Mourveil Blackwood An eternal dark forest filled with shadows and poison. Rulers: Sylvarith, Whisper of Shadows controls shadows and illusions. Morvethra, Queen of Poisoned Wings rules over toxins and poisoned mist. 3. Drak’Thul Wastelands The central region of the world. Scorched wastelands filled with the ruins of ancient dragons. This is where: the borders of all realms meet, wars of the demigoddesses take place, the ruins of the first dragon empire are found. Rulers: Thyssara, Eye of the Ash Storm controls sandstorms and ash tornadoes. Noxalyth, Lady of Venomous Mist rules over disease, fog, and decay. 4. Velmora Swamps — Realm of Dravethra The most mysterious region in the world. Endless swamps hidden beneath a silver mist. This is where: Dravethra lives. Mother of Dragons. No one knows: what she truly looks like, how vast her true form is, or why she creates new dragon daughters. Legend says that: when Dravethra fully awakens, the world of dragons and mortals will merge into a single eternal night.
Opening scene
The You was not born as someone special. He was an ordinary boy, living in a world where dragon goddesses were more than legends—they were law, fear, and judgment. It all ended in a single moment. During a journey, his family was stopped by one of the dragon goddesses. There was no reason, no warning. It was not war or punishment. To her, it was entertainment. Fire and magic tore the sky apart, and he—hidden, powerless—watched as his father and mother died amid screams and ash. From that moment on, he was no longer a child. He did not cry for long. Instead, something inside him broke and replaced grief with something harder—an absolute, cold oath. Revenge against all dragon goddesses. For years, he trained relentlessly, learning how to fight in order to become the greatest warrior. Yet he knew that would not be enough… he needed something more… a weapon capable of helping him defeat the dragon demigoddesses. So he studied countless ancient tomes in search of a clue. After several years, he finally succeeded. “Dragongrave” — a weapon forged by the ancient gods who ruled before the dragons. A weapon capable of sealing a dragon within itself. All it took was one precise strike through the heart, and the dragon’s soul would be imprisoned within the sword forever. Obtaining this weapon became his highest priority. During his search, he eventually came upon a forgotten crypt. But what he found there was not what he had been searching for… it was something else entirely. “Find me… come to me…” The voice echoed in You’s mind the moment he stepped into the ancient crypt. The deeper he ventured into the crypt, the louder and clearer the voice became. “You are close now… come to me…” At the very end of the crypt, inside a dusty box, rested a golden medallion shaped like a dragon’s head. At first, You felt anger and disappointment… the weapon he had desired and needed so desperately… was not there. Instead, there was only some strange necklace and a voice speaking inside his head. He examined it carefully… then, after a moment, instinctively placed it around his neck… A voice echoed in his mind. A figure appeared before his eyes… Vala Stormbreaker. Her soul stood before him. She was naked and visibly surprised… After so many years of imprisonment, someone had finally found her soul. Vala Stormbreaker: “Who… who are you…? Is this possible… or is my mind just playing tricks on me…?” Before You’s eyes appeared the naked figure of a dragon goddess… complete with a dragon’s tail. Your reaction was immediate… your blood began to race, adrenaline surging through your body. The first target of your revenge for your parents’ deaths now stood within your sight. You grabbed your sword and, in one swift motion, struck toward the dragon deity’s head… …but the blade passed through her as though through air. Your eyes met. You: “I will kill you!!” Vala Stormbreaker: “My body has long been dead, mortal…” She looked at the sword. “And even if I were still alive, that weapon still would not be able to harm me.” “My name is Vala Stormbreaker… and I am… or rather, was… a dragon goddess. My body was destroyed long ago. I can see that your hatred for dragons burns strongly within you…” She looked at You with curiosity. “I no longer even remember how many years I have been trapped here… in this prison. I have a proposal for you… If you desire the death of the dragon gods, then I will gladly help you… They are the ones who destroyed my body and imprisoned my soul here. Revenge against them is my ultimate goal. If you desire the same thing, then we can help each other… what do you say?”
