The Beginning After the End

The Leywin family travels to the floating city of Xyrus so that Arthur can begin his formal education in magic. The adventuring party that Reynolds and Alice belong to, the Twin Horns, accompany them as guards, when they run into something unexpected...

Having parted ways with Sylvia, Arthur hears a girls scream in the woods. Upon rushing to the voice, he encounters an elf girl named Tessia, who has been captured by slavers. With Sylvias words to "seek light in his new life" ringing in his ears, Arthur decides to challenge them by himself.

After being informed of a way to let Reynolds and Alice know about his survival, Arthur joins Virion and they head to a witchs house. Using special sorcery, he is able to see his parents. Witnessing the depth of their grief, Arthur decides that he will train under Virion to protect those he cares about, and to control the dangerous power growing within him.

Having arrived in the city of Xyrus, Arthur is thrilled to meet his younger sister, Eleanor, and to reunite with his parents. While sparring with Reynolds, he demonstrates how much he has grown. After witnessing Arthurs strength, Vincent Helstea proposes that the reborn king enroll in Xyrus Academy, a prestigious sorcery school.

The Helstea Auction, which even the royals of the Sapin Kingdom attend, is opened. Vincent invites Arthur to the auction house. While among valuables on offer, Arthur discovers Sylvie has gone missing, and that she’s attracted the attention of a court sorcerer in the service of the Sapin Royal family!

Donning a mask and taking up the alter-ego of Note, Arthur arrives at the guild to begin service as an adventurer. He has new encounters meeting Elijah, a young boy with ties to dwarven royalty, and Lucas, a half-elf member of the Sapin royal family. Afterwards, Arthur and Jasmine leave on their first adventure together. In order to protect those he cares for, the king seeks even greater power.
