Synopsis:

In a world where divine magic once shaped society, the rise of scientific advancement has shifted the balance. Witches, formerly revered guides, now face persecution under the Redia Empire's decree for their eradication. Adonis, a young witch and apprentice to the renowned Chloe, witnesses his master’s brutal execution at the hands of the Empire. Consumed by grief and fueled by rage, Adonis dedicates himself to a path of vengeance, intending to dismantle humanity through the power of magic itself.

The series explores themes of prejudice, the consequences of progress, and the complex relationship between humanity and the supernatural. It portrays a world steeped in tension, where ancient traditions clash with modern ideals. Adonis's journey is not simply about revenge, but a meditation on the cost of power and the blurred lines between savior and destroyer within a rapidly changing world order.
