Synopsis
Minjae Park never believed in destiny. A museum researcher in Seoul, he lived for logic, history, and quiet resolve. But when an uncatalogued disc pulls him through space and time into the mystical realm of Eldrath, he finds himself in a kingdom of ancient magic, courtly politics, and prophecies that whisper of ruin and rebirth. Marked as the one "born beyond the Veil," Minjae is met with suspicion and fear by a court that views him as a threat. With no magic of his own and only his sharp mind and defiant spirit to rely on, he is pulled into a deadly game of prophecy and power. Among those watching him closely is Prince Eryndor, a cold, darkly magnetic figure who is bound to the kingdom’s fate and to Minjae’s. As tensions rise, ancient sigils awaken, visions bleed into reality, and a forbidden connection begins to grow between the fierce mortal and the crown prince sworn to protect the realm. But shadows stir in the court, and not all who wear smiles can be trusted especially Prince Zaryth, the charming envoy from Kaelith who may hold a disc of his own…and dangerous secrets tied to Minjae's past and future. Caught in a slow-burning triangle of desire, prophecy, and betrayal, Minjae must uncover the truth behind the relics, survive the court’s treachery, and decide if he will walk away or burn with the crown he never wanted to wear.

Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE

The Prophecy

Before the stars carved their paths across the heavens, before kingdoms rose and fell in the dust of forgotten empires, there was a whisper.

Not heard, but felt echoing through the bones of the world.

It was written in the oldest tongue, etched into stone beneath the roots of the World Tree, guarded by the Order of the Veil. A prophecy not sung in court nor taught in temples, but buried, for fear of what it promised.

"In the age when the moons divide and shadow bleeds into flame,

One born beyond the Veil shall awaken the Crown's fire.

His hands shall carry no magic.

His name shall not echo in this land

Yet the fate of kings and the ruin of realms shall walk beside him."

For centuries, it was dismissed, too vague, too distant.

But then came the signs.

Storms that howled in silence.

The night both moons bled red.

And now, as the Kingdom of Aurenholt teeters on the cusp of unrest, the whispers stir once more. The air grows restless. Old magic wakes in forgotten places.
