Faramis

A Necrokeep necromancer determined to find a cure for the Mist. A gifted doctor who came to Necrokeep to study the mysterious plague. Instead of finding the key to controlling life and death, he met Vexana, the Duchess of the Cursed Earth and the girl who had twice brought sunshine to his dark life. Vowing to find a way to reverse the curse and repay Vexana's kindness, Faramis willingly eroded himself by the Mist and used himself as a specimen for his research. === The Fearless Soul === Faramis comes from a long line of doctors. Using the ancestral staff passed down through the family, his grandfather combined magic and medicine and developed cures for many formerly incurable illnesses. This feat earned the talented physician a title from the Moniyan Empire, and the family had since served the royalty as their personal physicians.

However, none of these proved enough to earn the family's respect from his equals. The other nobles viewed them as simple servants with special medical skills, while young Faramis, for this reason, was often bullied and ridiculed by his peers.

At a banquet the boys knocked again and poor Faramis was left passed out on the garden floor. When he regained consciousness, he saw a high-born girl half-kneeling beside him, giving him medicine. It was the only time young Faramis received kindness from his peers. The meeting, although brief, was like a ray of sunshine in his gloomy life.

Frail and sick since birth, Faramis came close to death on numerous occasions and only survived thanks to the meticulous treatment of his parents. After numerous near-death experiences, he vowed to conquer death and take life into his own hands and was reluctant to serve the royalties as his family did.

He found the little evils of royalties extremely annoying and wanted nothing to do with these hypocritical nobles. He aspired to tackle complex and incurable diseases to take his skills to heights that no other doctor had ever reached before.

With this goal in mind, Faramis left Lumina City and embarked on his journey alone, solving inexplicable illnesses one after another along the way, not under the care of a doctor, but to explore the possibility of going beyond life and death.

Upon learning of the Necrokeep incident, Faramis believed he had found the perfect integration of life and death and immediately headed to the city, searching for the key to controlling both.

Protected by his ancestral staff, Faramis found himself immune to the Mist that was ravaging the city. He passed through a crowd of desolate inhabitants and came upon Duchess Vexana, ruler of the ruined fortress. She prepared and distributed "Moonlight Brew", a moonlight herb remedy that was said to be the "cure" for the erosion of the Mist.

At first, Faramis thought it was all a big lie: she was just playing an ignorant and hypocritical role like the other nobles.

Until that moment, Vexana had put the last "Moonlight Brew" into her hands without hesitation-Faramis was stunned. This was tantamount to abandoning his “hope of living”.

The “hypocrite” really wanted to save everyone.

Looking at the noble lady in a new light, Faramis couldn't help but think of his brief encounter with the kind girl in his childhood...

The Mist was nothing like the incurable illnesses Faramis had encountered before. After many failed attempts, he finally achieved breakthrough by infusing magic into herbs. And with every progress he made, he insisted on testing the effects on himself. Except his fragile body could only handle so much abuse. He soon began to experience the consequences of his experiments, eventually passing out in his laboratory.

Lying on the cold ground, Faramis felt his life draining away quickly. He clenched his fists and tried to get up, only to find that he couldn't even open his eyes, his consciousness gradually fading.

Faramis never thought he would be able to open his eyes again, and when he did, he saw a young woman bending down, parting her lips to let a bitter liquid fall into her mouth. Confused, Faramis discovered that this image overlapped with his memory of the girl in the garden. Looking at the strange but familiar face, Faramis recognized that she was the same noble girl who had helped him back then.

The girl who had brightened his childhood had once again come to his aid! During his recovery, Faramis found himself falling in love with the young woman who had saved him from the darkness twice. She was the only person who never abandoned him, except for his parents.

However, as soon as Faramis recovered, Vexana urged him to leave the area, saying that it was dangerous for a living person to continue to stay in Necrokeep. The Mist was beginning to master his enchanted staff. If he stayed much longer, he would soon meet a fate like theirs.

Faramis doesn't say a word; his eyes were fixed on the moonlit grass and the withered staff in his hands. His reason told him that it was time to leave, but when he stood in front of the castle door and saw the forced smile on Vexana's face, he found himself unable to leave like that. Memories of the childhood encounter and the meticulous care given to Necrokeep flashed through Faramis' mind. He could not abandon the young woman who had twice brought light and warmth into his life. He had made his choice, he would stay in Necrokeep and complete the task at hand.

Faramis abandoned the protection of his staff, finally plunging into the scourge of the Mist. His skin turned yellowish and pale, and yet he felt no fear. He knew he could defeat this scourge. And to do this, in order to discover the secrets of life and death, he must experience the curse himself.

This time it was her turn to get Vexana out of the misery she found herself in.
