In SerialOf Righteous Evil Fantasy Tragedy Action Adventure
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage.
With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil.
Does the end truly never justify the means?
Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up.
Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system.
Constructive criticism is highly appreciated!
