"Aku sangat mencintai kekasihku. Tapi, aku dijodohkan dengan wanita lain." ~ Ryu Kaviar Erlangga~ "Kukira hanya sekolah yang harus sesuai keinginan orang tua. Ternyata jodoh juga." ~ Galuh Freyanita-

Akiyama, seorang anak yang lahir dengan tanda mata aneh, dibesarkan dalam kesendirian setelah dikucilkan oleh desanya. Sejak lahir, dunia tempat tinggalnya telah dilanda tragedi besar, dan banyak yang percaya bahwa Akiyama adalah pertanda buruk. Namun, di dalam dirinya tersimpan kekuatan legendaris: kekuatan Phoenix yang tak terkalahkan. Dalam perjalanannya, Akiyama bertemu dengan berbagai sekutu dan musuh: Yumi, sahabatnya yang lembut dengan kemampuan penyembuhan; Ryu, pendekar angin yang dingin; Kohaku, bangsawan terbuang yang ahli dalam manipulasi cahaya dan kegelapan; dan Hikaru, si pemberontak yang menguasai api. Masing-masing memiliki kekuatan unik, tetapi juga terikat oleh masa lalu yang kelam. Di sisi lain, Akiyama menghadapi ancaman dari Ren, pemimpin Klan Kurogane yang berkemampuan telekinesis dan menggalang pemberontakan melawan kerajaan. Di balik semua konflik ini, sosok misterius Tsubaki selalu muncul, memperingatkan bahwa takdir mereka sudah tertulis. Namun, ancaman terbesar datang dari Zerathos, Raja Iblis yang telah lama tersegel. Ketika segel Zerathos mulai melemah, kegelapan merambah dunia, dan hanya Akiyama, dengan kekuatan Phoenix-nya yang masih belum sepenuhnya terbangkitkan, yang bisa menghentikan kehancuran total. Akiyama berdiri di atas tebing, melihat ke kejauhan. Akiyama: "Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi saat aku lahir? Kenapa aku... kenapa aku harus memiliki kekuatan ini?" Yumi muncul dari belakangnya, tersenyum lembut. Yumi: "Kekuatanmu adalah harapan terakhir dunia, Akiyama. Kau harus percaya pada dirimu." Ryu dengan tangan terlipat, mendekat tanpa memandangnya. Ryu: "Berhenti meragukan dirimu. Zerathos sudah mulai bergerak. Jika kau tidak bertindak sekarang, kita semua akan hancur." Hikaru mendekat, dengan api kecil berkobar di tangannya. Hikaru: "Kalau kau terlalu lama berpikir, aku akan menghadapi Zerathos sendiri! Tapi... jangan salah... aku tidak akan kalah darimu!" Akiyama menatap langit, merasa berat dengan takdir yang harus dihadapinya. Bayangan Zerathos mulai muncul dari balik awan. Akiyama: "Zerathos... Aku akan menghentikanmu, bagaimanapun caranya. Ini adalah nasibku." ---
