FANTASY ACADEMY

Desmond_Valentine
An angel, lost on Earth after failing to return to heaven, reincarnated as a human but retained his celestial powers. As he aged, the power became too much for his mortal body, leaving him lonely despite having siblings. He eventually made a close friend and, knowing his time was short, began distributing his powers through injections of his celestial blood. His friend was the first to receive powers, followed by the angel's sister and many others. To help these new power-bearers, the angel created a separate universe called the Chūkan (The in-between) above Earth with a school in which he called “The Helios Empire academy” where they could learn to harness their celestial aura. The angel ruled the school until his friend, seeking control, demanded a share. When the angel refused, the friend took over during his absence, ruling with an iron fist and sparking a deadly war. The angel returned to find his friend had married his sister, and they had a daughter. Heartbroken, the angel banished them and their followers to a sealed realm called Terra Firma. Before departing on another journey, he appointed twelve powerful beings to govern his universe and placed his niece and her descendants in charge of the school. Then, the angel disappeared, leaving his legacy behind. The in-between (Chūkan) existed peacefully, protected by a vast barrier casted by the Angel to repell all external forces. The students of the Helios Empire Academy were tasked only with suppressing lesser evils within the In-between (Chūkan): vampires, criminals, wicked mages, Dark Elves, stained guardians, and infected shifters. Ten thousand years later, thousands of mysterious meteors fell from the far sky—far beyond the barrier—disrupting it for a single hour. In that moment, the ancient seal placed by the Angels began to weaken, releasing Demons and Devils as old as Chūkan itself. They spread freely across the five continents of the In-between: Gold Gard, Elve Gard, Wizz Gard, Prin.T Gard, and Knight Gard. Now, with the barrier damaged and the continents under siege, it falls to the students of the Helios Empire Academy to protect the In-between from ancient evil

Arcana Null : 22 - The Fool Who Imprisoned Fate

Zekai is twenty-two and has already decided that life is meaningless. He has no job, no ambition, and no interest in the future. While others chase purpose, he watches from the sidelines, convinced that the world runs on illusions people are too afraid to question. The death is ruled an accident. The silence afterward is not. Something is left behind—something old, something deliberate. From that moment, Zekai begins to notice what others cannot: patterns beneath coincidence, intent behind tragedy, and a presence that seems amused by his existence. The city changes around him. Crimes grow stranger. People disappear without explanation. Whispers spread of a figure who appears in moments of fear—part savior, part nightmare. Zekai does not seek to become anything. He only reacts. Yet the more he intervenes, the more the world pushes back. Every choice carries consequences he cannot escape. Every step forward reveals another layer of truth he was never meant to see. Some paths offer power. Some demand sacrifice. Some do not allow turning back. As Zekai is pulled deeper into a hidden side of the city—where justice, guilt, desire, and fate collide—he is forced to confront a question no one can answer for him: Is freedom something you choose… or something taken from you the moment you play along? Because this story is not about destiny fulfilled. It is about what remains when the final number is reached— 22.
