The Ascendants: Early Years

In the peaceful town of Ozamian, young Artreus dreams of becoming the strongest knight, inspired by his older brother, Arthur Reigns. But his life is shattered when the Demon King Abaddon attacks their town, killing his mother and leaving a trail of devastation. Determined to seek justice and revenge, Artreus embarks on a perilous journey to vanquish the most powerful monster in the land. Along the way, Artreus meets two mercenaries, Aiden Kronus and Mikael Kier, disciples of the legendary master, Samson. Though strangers at first, their bond is forged through hardship and battle, and they soon become like brothers. As they travel across deadly terrains and face monstrous foes, Artreus begins to sense a strange power awakening within him. In his search for strength, he also begins to uncover a buried truth-his father's dark past, a sin that once defied the celestial beings. Will he follow in the footsteps of his brother, the hero and king, or walk the darker path of the father he never knew?
