Episode 1: "A New Beginning"

Episode 1: "A New Beginning"

On a cold, silent night in the village of Hage, Sister Lily steps outside the orphanage and is met with an unexpected sight—two newborn babies, wrapped in tattered blankets, left at the doorstep. The wind howls as she kneels down, gently lifting them into her arms, sensing that fate has brought them here for a reason.

She rushes inside, where Father Luther, the wise and steadfast caretaker of the orphanage, watches as she reveals the infants. Beside him stands Sister Faith, a calm and gentle nun who assists in raising the children, and Lucas, one of the older orphans who curiously observes the scene.

The two abandoned babies are given names—Rei and Daemon.

Years pass, and Rei and Daemon grow up within the orphanage, surrounded by the warmth of their newfound family. Though they are not related by blood, they form an inseparable bond, pushing each other to grow stronger. Rei is quiet and analytical, showing early promise in magic, while Daemon is loud, stubborn, and physically determined, training his body relentlessly.

Both have one goal in mind—the Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony, the day where they will receive their magical books and begin their journey as mages. The orphans train tirelessly, sparring against each other and testing their limits, knowing that only the strongest will rise in this world.

As the day of the ceremony finally arrives, excitement fills the air. However, fate has other plans, and the moment they have waited for will not come so easily. A new challenge looms ahead, and their journey is just beginning.

Episode 2: "The Unseen Power"

The long-awaited Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony has arrived. Inside the towering Grimoire Library, where thousands of magical books rest on ancient shelves, the orphans of Hage Village eagerly wait for their fate to be decided.

Rei and Daemon stand among them, anticipation in their hearts. As the ceremony begins, books start flying off the shelves, choosing their rightful owners. One by one, each young mage receives a Grimoire, their path to power unfolding before them.

Suddenly, a brilliant red Grimoire floats toward Rei. Its cover glows with flickering embers, and as he reaches for it, the flames intensify, symbolizing his affinity.

Father Luther (smiling): "Rei… you have received a Fire Grimoire. A fitting power for someone with your determination."

Rei (clutching his Grimoire): "This is just the beginning. I'll master this power and prove my strength."

Daemon, watching eagerly, waits for his turn. But as more Grimoires are claimed, none come to him. The ceremony draws to a close, and Daemon is left standing empty-handed. A heavy silence falls over the crowd.

Lucas (mocking): "Ha! No Grimoire? Guess magic really isn’t for you."

Daemon (clenching his fists): "Tch… this isn’t over."

Before Daemon can process his emotions, the atmosphere shifts. A golden light suddenly illuminates the room as an intruder steps forward—a young man wielding a Light Grimoire.

Mysterious Attacker: "Weaklings like you don’t deserve Grimoires. Let me show you true power."

Without warning, beams of blinding light magic shoot toward Rei. He barely reacts in time, raising his hands to summon fire, but he is overpowered.

Rei (gritting his teeth): "Tch… he's too fast!"

Seeing his brother in danger, Daemon throws himself in front of the attack, taking the full force of the blow. He crashes into the ground, blood dripping from his mouth.

Daemon (weakly): "Damn it… I won’t… let this happen!"

At that moment, something incredible occurs. A dark aura swirls around him, and suddenly—a Grimoire materializes from thin air. Unlike the others, it is ancient, tattered, and covered in mysterious symbols.

From within its pages, two massive swords emerge—one black and jagged, the other sleek and glowing faintly with anti-magic energy.

Daemon grips the swords instinctively. As power surges through him, he leaps forward with incredible speed, effortlessly slicing through the enemy’s light magic.

Mysterious Attacker (staggering back): "What…? That power… impossible!"

With a single, decisive strike, Daemon sends his opponent flying, forcing him to retreat. The crowd watches in stunned silence.

Rei (catching his breath): "Daemon… what the hell was that?"

Daemon (panting, looking at the swords in his hands): "I don’t know… but it’s mine now."

As the dust settles, one thing is clear—Daemon, the boy who was never supposed to have a Grimoire, has awakened a power unlike anything the world has ever seen.
