The Origin Of Mana

In a world where magic flows through every living being, Mel was an outcast. At five years old, his life was saved at a terrible cost—demon blood forced into his veins, turning him into an unparalleled force, a creature half-human, half-demon.

The power within him was uncontrollable, and for eleven years, he lived in exile, isolated in the depths of an ancient forest.

Now sixteen, Mel has finally gained mastery over his monstrous abilities, just as an ominous darkness rises from the faraway continent of the West. The foreboding sensation brings back memories he thought he'd buried and hints at a destiny he cannot escape.

Determined to protect the Kingdom he once fled and the girl he holds most dear, Mel ventures to the capital city of Anthur.

With no mana to call his own when his demonic powers lie dormant, Mel walks a razor’s edge between humanity and the beast within. But when his left eye turns black, his dormant strength awakens, transforming him into an unstoppable force.

The question is: will his powers be enough to shield those he loves, or will they be the very reason everything crumbles?
