Synopsis

In the world of Radiant, monsters called Nemesis fall from the sky. These nemeses contaminate everything they touch. People who survive their contact are cursed, but also gain the ability to use a magical power known as "Fantasy", thus becoming sorcerers. Seth, the protagonist of Radiant, is a teenager who has survived an attack by a Nemesis. He dreams of defeating all the Nemeses and bringing peace between the sorcerers and the rest of humanity. To do so, he has to find the place where the Nemeses come from, the legendary Radiant, and destroy it. He and other sorcerers travel the region in search of Radiant while avoiding the Inquisition, an organization that hunts sorcerers.
