Cursed with a dark power that threatens to slowly erode his humanity, Nolan Crest fights against the monsters and guilds that plague his world, even if that means he’ll one day become a monster, himself. His village was destroyed, and almost everyone he’s ever loved has fallen prey to the atrocities of the land. All he has left is his sister and a thirst for revenge. One that will never be quenched if the twisted heart inside of him has its way. Power was all he ever wanted, but now, with every level he gains, he feels himself drifting further away from the person he once was.

I always knew I was different, but I never knew why. My name is Aiden Cross, and if you asked me a month ago if this type of thing existed, an academy for the exceptional, I’d call you a liar. The supernatural exists, and apparently, I’m one of them. It’s in my DNA, just like all of the other students here at the academy. I thought it was cool to be around others like me, but it turns out that this school is like high school on steroids. The classes are tough, the exercises are brutal, and to top it off, I’m at a major disadvantage because I can’t access my powers at will.

A student on a Dox-induced rampage ripped through the academy grounds in order to get to me. Dozens were hurt, myself included, but with the help of my friends, I was able to put an end to the chaos. After I recovered, I noticed that my powers are no longer working like they should. Dr. Kresnik and Mr. Hoover said that everything’s fine, but for some reason, it hurts to channel my energy, and when I summon my flames, it’s barely an ember. Everyone thinks I’m a hero because of what I did to stop that attack, but I don’t feel like it. If anything, I’m afraid.
