Title: The Silent Speaker Legacy
Genre: Fantasy
Description: History of Vikter (previously known as Ignus Iriel)

Spoiler! :
Father said the family started all the way back from the twelfth passing of the second sun. A boy was born and grew up as a man with the ability to speak to others through his mind. It was the emergence of everything beyond ordinary at that time, and Ignus Iriel’s ability was among the odd occurrences happened to some individuals. Those who governed Vanarin were troubled with people like him, and they used all means to keep the people under control. However, their way was often oppressive and seldom fair.

Ignus escaped to a distant village situated at the edge of Vanarin, a neutral location undisturbed by outsiders. The villagers accepted him with open hands and agreed to protect him from Vanarin’s government as long as he did what they told him to do. They asked him to build a new identity and leave Ignus Iriel, a man whose parents were killed as the consequences of his rebellious actions. Ignus became Vikter, a humble man starting a new, modest life. His ability was no concern to the villagers as they allowed him to use it as long as it did not harm anyone.

Title: The Silent Speaker Legacy
Genre: Fantasy
Description: Emergence of Magic

Spoiler! :
When King Navak attempted to create a portal between Earth and Heaven during *Enel, an error was made. The portal was incomplete, bringing instead a mysterious fog that enveloped the country until the last day of the week arrived. This was not what we expected as we had checked every detail of the portal or one that involved in creating it. The portal itself had been experimented to carry a person to another location within Vanarin, and the experiment worked. Using superior substances to create it, the chance of connecting Vanarin with Heaven was high.

Regardless, it was too interesting to ignore; we called the unusual event occurring on the eleventh passing of the second sun as Emergence of Magic. However, one should not mistake it as the starting point of magic. It had always existed, just not as inherent as this one. When the clock struck twelve and *Eneria started, babies were born, possessing magical abilities that would last until they died. We reached to this conclusion after supervising some of those babies until the end of their lives. We allowed them to practice their abilities as long as they did not harm others and contributed to the progress of Vanarin.

We wanted to further understand of this new aspect of the world. What happened to these chosen ones three decades was not what we wanted.

*Enel: first day of the week
*Eneria: last day of the week

Title: The Blessed, the Cursed, and the Wielders
Genre: Fantasy
Description: The Discovery of Magic

Spoiler! :
With the discoveries of magical triggers, magic was learned. Since the amount of triggers were limited, royal members were the first to wield them. From that moment, study of magic was started. A branch of field called the Study of Magic was created; those who were specialized in the research and development of magical triggers and general magic were founded, named as Makers of Magical Law or more popularly, magicists.

After the first century of magic, students from wealthy families could choose to study and practice magic with the aid of magical triggers, each one of them expensive in cost. These students were called magician apprentices or mages in-training. They aimed to become magicists or mages specialized in a particular magical fields. They also played a role in the country’s authority, helping guards and enforcers.

After the second century of magic, libraries that contained information of magic were attacked by unknown mages. These mages were called as Lurkers of the Night, rumored to be magical criminals who caused deaths in their ways. Irresponsible mages also contributed to the robberies and thieveries of texts regarding magic. A group of librarians were selected to wield magic; they were called as Protectors of Knowledge, or more popularly as Ink Keepers. Their range of magic wielding was within the library, and only those who had strong memorization skill as well as high intelligence could be Ink Keepers.

Halfway to the century, some citizens were noted to wield magic without the aid of magical triggers. They were natural in that department, and their magic was bound to the current weather. They were later called as Weatherbounds and were kept from the public’s knowledge. They were trained to be the monarch’s assassins, brainwashed to believe they were fighting for the greater good. It was said that they were blessed by the gods and would serve a vital role in maintaining humanity.

After the third century of magic, a weird phenomena happened. Babies born at a particular day were noted to possess unusual abilities; the rumors said that they were cursed by the gods, and were named as Cursed Children. Due to limited knowledge of their existence, the monarch had them under supervision, separated from their families and gathered together in various houses. These houses were later known as prisons, as their inhabitants were unfairly treated due to the progress of their abilities. Some of them were forced to join the military. The number of Cursed Children were ten times the number of Weatherbounds. Some of them escaped to neutral areas where they led a normal life, using their abilities to aid them in regular activities.
