Runemaster in the Last Days

Riya returned from the magical realm and confronted her disgraceful stepmother, reclaiming her original life. Armed with world treasures and newfound knowledge, she anticipated a peaceful existence—until reality shattered her expectations.

The Green Planet's mana surged without warning. Magic beasts emerged from dormancy, ravaging the recovering world. Riya grimly accepted her role: harness her runes to strengthen herself and protect what remained of civilization from the chaos unfolding around her.

Her calculated path toward solitude crumbled when her best friend's brother turned his gaze upon her. His fascination with her runic craft proved impossible to ignore.

"Your runes are truly captivating. Would you demonstrate more of your techniques?" He advanced closer, his smile disarming.

"I can show you, but please maintain some distance," Riya protested, flustered by his sudden proximity.

She sought only quiet cultivation and meditation. Instead, she had unwittingly drawn the attention of a formidable power—one she couldn't simply dismiss, no matter how desperately she wished to focus on her runes and the world's restoration.
