Fifty years after the cataclysmic Second Jewel War, the Land of Spade has flourished under the legacy of Kaipo Kasumi, its once-fractured realms now united in an era of peace. But peace is a double-edged sword, for in the shadows of tranquility, a new and insidious evil stirs—one that threatens to unravel everything the heroes of old fought for. As dark forces emerge from the cracks of a fragile peace, the next generation of mages must rise to confront an adversary unlike any before. Will they uphold the legacy of their predecessors, or will the weight of history crush them? The fate of five universes rests in their hands, and their journey will test not only their power but the very essence of who they are.

The Sequel to Guardians Of The Arcane Chronicles is here!

After the abdication of its former president and the truth revealed about the origins of their world, Sirius City is thrown into even further chaos. But even now, sinister forces plot to challenge the country's right to live.

As Sirius City reels from its rapidly worsening racial issues, a calamity strikes their country. Natural arcani has been mysteriously corrupted, transforming magis who use too much of it into hideous monstrosities. Faced with an unprecedented disaster, the Guardians struggle to contain the disaster while facing their own set of challenges.

Will they emerge victorious once more? Or will they finally drown in the sea of the world's sins?

There are things no one was meant to see, and darkness that should never have been given living form.

"That the world is coming to an end has long since been a dead issue. Everyone has heard of it. Those who have seen it know what the truth is, those who haven't either believe it or not. Either way, no one really cares. We shattered reality itself to shards, but even the apocalypse could not make a difference. Those who are lucky enough to live well don't care about other people's misery or how the world collapses, not even if their own children will have nothing to inherit but ashes and fear, and no matter how much power they have, they only use it for their own benefit, while bringing suffering to others. And the worst is, no matter what nightmarish old or new ideologies they use to justify their deeds, the flock will follow. In the end, the story is always the same."

This is the story of a broken world haunted by the deepest horrors of the human soul, relentless persecution and superstitious hatred, a fanatic war against everything that is not human, and the damned who oppose and never yield to fate. This is not a fairytale.

What to expect:

A deep dark medieval high-fantasy with elves, dwarves, fairies and demons, magic and swords, romance and hatred, and a post-apocalyptic world. This is not a fanfiction of any sort, it's an original story that popped out from my head, and it's very dear to me. I am really happy if you find it worth reading!

Please read the short "Good to know" chapter before you dive in!

Long ago, a fresh and beautiful world full of magic and wonders came into existence. The new world and its magical life forms lived peacefully and coexisted with non-magical beings such as humans. These creatures enjoyed the world and its possibilities.

Sadly, even this world had its shortcomings, with all the possibilities that existed in this world it was only inevitable that dark creatures would also exist.

Most dark beings, also known as demons, expressed no interest in a world of bright magic, instead of making their homes in the deep underground caverns near the core of the planet. They considered themselves and their magic above all others and simply stayed where they were, never interested in going to the upper world. One demon, by the name of Tera Vera, came up to the world out of pure curiosity. After seeing the beauty of the surface, he sought to harness the magic he did not have.

He failed, due to his inherent lack of magic other than his own. His curiosity was instead replaced by hate. He decided that if he could not control the new magic, then no one should. Using his dark magic, he created five curses, each holding terrible power. Using the curses and their power, Tera Vera waged war with the beings of the upper world.

However, a brave band of heroes, led by a courageous woman named Lady Rahleen gathered an army to face the demon.

After many battles, Lady Rahleen managed to seal the five curses and the demon away.

The curses were not done though. One curse, the curse of the plague, escaped and used its power to infect the minds of the creatures and turn them into soldiers.

Preying on a recovering world, the plague devastated what was being rebuilt, and Lady Rahleen was called once more to fight.

After a long war, Lady Rahleen managed to imprison the terrible Plaguemaster, the leader of the Plague armies, and the plague lost its grip on the world.

Realizing the power of magic, and what it could do, Lady Rahleen and her followers decided magic needed to be kept in check.

After deciding this, Lady Rahleen started writing the ancient laws. The laws intended not only to keep magic from making its wielders too powerful but were also made to make magic easier to handle. This was to make it so if evil did come back, it could be dealt with in a much easier fashion. And so, either they found a way or the world willed it so, the Ancient Laws came into effect, leading to a long and peaceful period.

But even with all the countermeasures, the Plague still stirs. Ever since its imprisonment, it grows in power and hate. Centuries after it first was thrown into its confines, the plague manages to extend its power beyond its hastily built prison. This leads us to our present-day
