The Swordmaster's Hunt - (Legendary Mage POV)

Who you were... does not matter anymore. Nothing matters anymore, in the hell that has become the Aris Continent, nothing except surviving until the next battle. There is no escape, there is no peace, there is only suffering, misery, and battle.

It is during this suffering and misery, in a particularly bloody battle, that you, whether you wanted to or not, Ascended into a Legendary Mage. While normally a thing to be proud of and rejoice at, in this time, and in this place, it is a curse. Because now, simply due to your newfound status as a Legendary Mage, you have a target on your back.

Because, roaming the countless battlefields and desolate landscapes of Aris, is the Swordmaster...

Hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions swarmed out of portals, too much, too quickly for anyone to react. Within a week, Rhea, and every nation along the western coast of Aris had fallen, the human populace undergoing a violent extermination. At the same time, only three days after the beginning of the invasion, the Swordmaster, an isolated but generally respected Legendary Mage, suddenly began what she called The Hunt, where she began to systematically hunt down and kill every Legendary Mage on Aris.
