Rinos, a young man with extraordinary talent, discovers he possesses control over both light and darkness—two opposing elements. Guided by a wise sage, he ventures into the Ancestors’ Cave, where only those with an ancestral bloodline may enter. There, he encounters Carlos, a spirit bound by the curse of the Dark King, Valzok. Carlos reveals the danger of Rinos’ dual power and teaches him how to conceal the element of darkness, warning of Valzok’s impending awakening and the threat it poses to the world.
