Zeno, the Last Monarch, summoning violet magic under a full moon

The story

Zeno was a king. Then his world, Ixthar, burned for nine days and every life in it went out, one after another. He was the only one left: the Last Monarch. Unable to forgive himself, he locked away his own magic and fled into another world to live as a nobody.

That world is Vaelmora, and it is ruled by the Seven Magisters, sorcerer-lords who tax everything, even the night. In the poor district of the city of Halvern, people who cannot pay are put in chains by the Magisters’ armored soldiers and taken away to have their life force drained.

One night the soldiers come for a young girl named Lira. Zeno can step forward, or look away. Whatever he chooses, his locked power starts to break free — and the Magisters are about to find out what it means to make a king angry.

Powers that come back one by one

Zeno starts the game with his magic locked away. Each time the story reaches a turning point, one more seal breaks and a new power is yours.

Violet Bolts & Flight

Throw bolts of violet magic and fly freely over the rooftops. You fight from the sky.

Monarch’s Beam

Charge a beam of royal power and fire it straight through a whole line of enemies.

Sovereign Nova

A blast that wipes out everything around you — innocent people too. Use it with care.

Sonic Burst

A sudden burst of speed to cross the battlefield or escape a trap.

Hero or tyrant? You decide

Zeno is strong enough to flatten the city. The real question is who gets hurt. The Magisters’ soldiers are fair targets; the people you came to save are not. Harm them and your Tyranny goes up: people run from you, your aura turns red, your rank drops and the story ends darker. Will you be the hero they hoped for, or just the next tyrant?
