The Saga Of Lux

This novel takes place on a planet that is five times bigger than our earth. On this planet mana is like the 'air' of our world. Every living creature is supported by mana. It flows through their bloodstream and surrounds their heart. It is the medieval era, the emperor has united all human lands in the vicinity, but not without merciless bloodshed, leaving behind a lot of enemies.This story follows our Protagonist, Lux, who is the second prince of this empire. Being gifted in swordsmanship, and having unlocked his aura at an early age he was praised as a genius. His future was looking bright, that is, until his father the emperor died in battle fighting against some monstrosity that was heading towards their empire. Lux later finds out that a mysterious cult was attempting to awaken other beasts of myths and legends, just like the one that killed his father. If this wasn't bad enough, now that the emperor was gone, his previous enemies who were too afraid to make a move while he was still alive, were now slowly moving forward with their plans to bring the empire and it's people to ruin. But Lux is no hero. Will he stay and defend a soon to be destroyed Empire? Or will he leave it all behind and explore the rest of the massive continent where no human has explored...at least in the history books.

This story starts after the empire has united all the lands, but before the other events take place.
