From the Ashes of Hearts

Born and raised as an orphan, sixteen-year-old Yuuna knew to dream of having real education is vain. Living day by day in a small beach town near Kurokuma kingdom’s capital; one of the biggest and richest Kingdoms in the continent of Eilusea; was hard enough let alone having the chance to go to school.  She is after all a Fuyona -the unwanted-, the lowest rank in social status in her country's caste system.

Until one day, after a tragedy that almost killed her, suddenly a man came to her offering her a chance of a lifetime to attend the most prestigious magic and alchemy school in the kingdom. Little that she knew that she was sent into the eye of the upcoming storm that will change the whole structure of the kingdom itself.

Personal Description of Ara game Studio:

I’m Yui, the founder of Ara game studio. I love writing stories and worlds for people to learn and explore. And I thought an interesting way in which to do so was through the virtual novel medium. This is Ara game studio's first project, with many storyboards and notes for future games connected to this world. (maybe ^^;)

Notes

I am thinking of making Patreons / Kofi, for the next game chapter. But I will need to really think about it. 

I am still looking for a copy editor for this game (especially for the next episodes) since it is hard and inconsiderate to ask people to do free work in such large content, this is also the reason why it took ages to update, as well as why I thinking on making Kofi / Patreon.  If anyone wanted to know the game development progress or just wants to chat around I  have a discord server for this, feel free to join:
