Black Haze

After a disastrous operation leaves him questioning his abilities, Rood finds himself reassigned to Helios, a prestigious academy renowned for its magical studies. Tasked with safeguarding the troubled heir of a powerful figure, he steps into a world of arcane knowledge and hidden dangers. The young noble he’s meant to shield faces relentless torment within the school’s halls, making Rood’s mission far from simple.

Helios, with its towering spires and whispered secrets, becomes the backdrop for Rood’s struggle to balance duty and doubt. The elite students wield magic effortlessly, while the boy under his care endures cruelty from his peers. As tensions rise, Rood must navigate treacherous alliances and unravel the mysteries surrounding the academy.

His presence stirs unrest among both students and faculty, forcing him to confront his own past failures. The deeper he delves, the clearer it becomes—Helios holds more than just spells and scrolls. Dark forces lurk beneath its polished facade, threatening to consume them all.

Rood’s journey becomes one of redemption, not just for the boy he protects, but for himself. In a place where power dictates survival, he must decide whether to cling to old doubts or embrace the strength he never knew he had.
