In our world, there are no humans, no big cities. We are just servants of Mother Nature, that is, us and the hordes of darkness. They come to us every year to take the "ripe fruits". This year, our protagonist, Skylar, also enters school, where unexpected twists await. 

Our hero ends up in the danger zone and must go through it if he doesn't want to die. It's very difficult for him to make it through, where the principal and the leader of the training squad anxiously await him. When he successfully reaches the destination, the principal scolds the mockers and escorts the frightened and brave Sky to the main building. They undergo an initiation where everyone's abilities are revealed. Our protagonist is placed in a separate group, where besides him, only the principal is, as she controls all the forces of Mother Nature: water, wind, earth, and fire. It later becomes apparent that she can control dragons as well. Apart from his friends, everyone mocks him because he can't really control his abilities at first. Later, a romance develops between him and the leader of the squad. During the annual training, he puts his all into it and becomes one of the best. He gains the respect of more and more students, but also earns hatred. One day, the haters throw him into the danger zone, where it's revealed that he can control dragons. He returns to the training camp as a dragon rider, injured and half-dead, where the squad leader finds him. After our hero tells everything, punishment is imposed on the hateful students.

Willorion, the world we live in, has been a land ravaged by war for centuries. The battles against the Realm of Darkness have consumed generations, and peace is now no more than a fading memory, whispered only by the elders beside the fire. War knows no mercy. The Empire's soldiers fight on, hoping that one day the bloodshed will end, but the enemy's strength seems inexhaustible. Those who fall on the battlefield are not mourned for long—there are always more soldiers to take their place.


Every child who reaches the age of twenty is given a single chance. The gods bestow upon them a gift: a power meant to help them survive the war. This is the law of the world, a cycle that repeats generation after generation. And yet, no matter how powerful these young warriors become, the outcome of the war never changes. The Darkness always returns.


But the legend speaks of something else. An ancient prophecy foretells the birth of one who will possess the power to end the war. A child who receives not just a gift from the gods, but something far greater. Yet as time passed, belief in the prophecy faded. No one expected a savior anymore. Only the fighting, the blood, and the destruction remained.
