Aetherion: Hero of Ashes
Aetherion: Hero of Ashes
In the vast world of Aetherion, four continents stand divided by sea, and at the center of the world lies a forbidden island feared even by the strongest — a land of ancient monsters and lost legends. It is said to hold the grave of the last hero, Arthur Ashenfall, the warrior who once challenged the Demon Lord and vanished from history, leaving behind a truth no one knows.
A thousand years later, heroes are myths, and the world is ruled by divided kingdoms, races, and beliefs.
In the southern kingdom of Valoria, a boy named Kaele Ashford is born to two former adventurers. Raised on stories of monsters and distant lands, he dreams of becoming a hero in a world that no longer believes in them.
At the age of seven, Kaele chooses his class.
Not a rare gift.
Not a divine blessing.
Not a prophecy.
Only the Warrior class — and nothing more.
With no special talent, no chosen fate, and no destiny guiding him, Kaele begins his journey as nothing but an ordinary boy in an extraordinary world.
But as ancient powers stir, old legends awaken, and the shadows of the past begin to rise, the truth of the Demon Lord, the last hero, and the forbidden island slowly returns to the world.
This is not the story of a chosen one.
This is the story of a boy who rises from nothing.
From ashes to legend.
From ordinary to myth.
From Kaele Ashford… to the Hero of Ashes.
