Farewell
The day that everyone had been preparing for had finally arrived.After months of planning, training, researching ancient records, forging weapons, and strengthening alliances, humanity was finally ready to march towards the Titans.The atmosphere throughout the Empire had changed completely. What was once filled with excitement and anticipation had now become solemn and emotional.This was no longer a military campaign, it was humanity's final stand against the Titans.Victory would mean peace for future generations. Defeat would mean the possible extinction of countless kingdoms and civilizations.No one dared to underestimate the gravity of the war that awaited them.For the past few weeks, the blacksmiths throughout the Empire had barely slept. The sound of hammers striking metal could be heard throughout the Capital both day and night as they forged thousands of swords, spears, shields, and armor for the soldiers marching into battle.The military camps had become incredibly bus
The Enemy's Home 1
The enormous army continued marching forward as the Imperial Capital gradually disappeared behind them. The citizens remained standing at the city gates long after the soldiers had become tiny figures on the horizon.For many families, this would be the first time they had been separated from their loved ones for such a long period of time. Some silently prayed while others remained hopeful that the war would soon come to an end. No one knew exactly what awaited them in the Titans' territory.The only thing they knew was that they had no intention of returning until humanity's greatest enemy had been defeated.The Empire had assembled an army unlike any ever seen before. Tens of thousands of soldiers marched together beneath their respective banners while hundreds of supply wagons followed closely behind.Military healers rode alongside the army carrying countless medicinal herbs and healing potions. Blacksmiths accompanied the soldiers to repair weapons and armor whenever necessary
The Enemy's Home 2
The following morning, the entire military camp became lively long before sunrise.The soldiers had only slept for a few hours before the sound of military horns echoed throughout the camp, signaling the beginning of another day of marching. The cooks were already busy preparing breakfast while commanders moved around inspecting the various units under their command.Some soldiers could be seen sharpening their swords while others cleaned their armor and checked their supplies for what seemed like the hundredth time.Despite their excitement, everyone understood that every step they took brought them closer to the Titans' territory.Unlike the previous Titan attacks they had experienced, this time, they were willingly marching into the enemy's home.The risks involved were unimaginable. Keiran stood on top of a large hill overlooking the massive camp before him. Thousands upon thousands of soldiers had gathered beneath the Empire's banner alongside their allied kingdoms.Watching such
The Battle 1
The moment humanity stepped into the Titan Territory, an indescribable pressure descended upon the entire army.The wasteland before them stretched endlessly beyond the horizon. Unlike the Empire's fertile lands and beautiful forests, everything here felt lifeless. The soil itself had a dark crimson hue, while gigantic footprints larger than houses were scattered across the landscape.Several soldiers unconsciously swallowed their saliva as they stared at the enormous footprints beneath their feet.“Those footprints are bigger than my entire house,” one soldier muttered nervously.“And we're planning to fight whatever created them?”Marcus slowly approached one of the footprints and stood inside it before looking at everyone.“Well, on the bright side, if I die, I'll finally become famous”Anthony smacked him on the back of his head.“You'll become dead. There's a difference”The soldiers laughed softly at their interaction, easing some of the tension within the army.However, despit
The Battle 2
The following morning, an uneasy silence hung over the military camp..The soldiers had expected an attack during the night. Many had slept with their weapons beside them, while others volunteered to stand guard until dawn. Yet, not a single Titan appeared.That fact alone was enough to make everyone uncomfortable. An enemy that rushed into battle could be understood and anticipated. However, an enemy that remained hidden in the shadows while observing their every move was infinitely more terrifying.Keiran stood outside his tent with his arms folded as he watched the sunrise over the Titan Territory. The beautiful golden rays of the sun somehow failed to make the land before him look any less ominous.The Titan Territory was massive. Even after spending an entire day marching through it, they had barely scratched the surface of what lay beyond.The dark mountains in the distance seemed almost endless, and occasionally, the soldiers could feel slight tremors beneath their feet as thou
The Battle 3
The entire military camp remained silent long after the mysterious Titan disappeared into the darkness.No one had expected their first encounter with the Titans to unfold in such a manner.There had been no battle.No bloodshed or casualties. Instead, they were left with answers that raised even more questionsThe Titan King knew about Keiran, he also knew about the Celestial Academy.Most shocking of all, he knew that Keiran came from Earth.The revelation alone was enough to send chills down everyone's spine.Soon, an emergency war council was immediately convened within the command tent. Every commander, military scholar, and high-ranking official present within the army gathered to discuss what had just transpired.The atmosphere inside the tent was extremely tense.Wesley sat at the head of the table with Keiran seated beside him. Anthony, Aurora, Marcus, and the various military leaders occupied the remaining seats.No one spoke for several moments, Finally, Marcus raised his
A Meeting with The Titan King
The following morning, the entire military camp awoke to an atmosphere unlike any other.Word had already spread among the commanders and soldiers that Lord Keiran had been invited to meet the Titan King.Some believed it was an opportunity granted by fate itself while others believed it was nothing more than an elaborate trap designed to eliminate humanity's greatest warrior.Regardless of their opinions, one fact remained unchanged, everything depended on what happened next.Inside the command tent, Wesley stood before a large map of the Titan Territory while several commanders discussed possible routes.“If this truly is a trap, we need contingency plans,” Aurora stated.Anthony nodded, “The army will remain here. If we don't return within three days, assume negotiations have failed”Marcus immediately frowned.“Three days? That's far too long”“What would you prefer?” Anthony asked.“One day” Marcus replied “Marcus, the Titan King's territory is hundreds of miles north of our cur
The Palace of Origin
Silence engulfed the Palace of Origins.Keiran, Wesley, Marcus, and Anthony stood frozen at the foot of the massive staircase as the Titan King slowly descended toward them.Nothing about him resembled the Titans humanity had fought for centuries.He was calm, elegant and most importantly, like a human.His golden eyes carried the weight of countless years, and there was an ancient aura surrounding him that made even Keiran instinctively cautious.Marcus was the first to recover “I have several questions,” he announced.The Titan King raised an eyebrow “Only several?”“Fine, hundreds” he addedTo everyone's surprise, the Titan King laughed, it was a genuine laugh.“I like this one”“I knew it!” Marcus proudly declared‘‘Even kings recognize my greatness” he added, feeling excited Anthony immediately dragged him backward by the collar.”Please ignore him. We've been trying to get rid of him for years”The Titan King smiled before turning his attention back to Keiran.“My name is Aeth
Their Biggest Enemy
Keiran did not speak for a very long time. The words of the Titan King continued echoing within his mind. You are the final legacy of the World Tree.It sounded ridiculous and impossible. He had spent years believing he was merely an ordinary man from Earth who had somehow found himself trapped in another world. He had accepted his circumstances, built a life, fallen in love, and started a family.Now, he was being told that his existence had been decided thousands of years before he was even born.“No”.The single word left his mouth almost instinctively.Aether quietly observed him.“No?” The Titan King repeated.Keiran slowly shook his head “I don't accept it. I've spent my entire life being told what I am. First, I was an ordinary waiter from Earth. Then I became a student of the Celestial Academy. After that, I became humanity's strongest warrior” His expression gradually hardened “And now you're telling me I'm the legacy of some ancient tree?”“World Tree” Marcus quietly correct
...And the War Began!
From the highest peaks of the Titan Territory to the smallest villages within the Empire, every living being gazed toward the heavens.The crack in the sky continued to expand.It was beautiful, yet terrifying.The divine being hovered above the Palace of Origins like a second sun, its six wings illuminating the darkness while its mere presence caused reality itself to distort.Even breathing had become difficult. Thousands of Titans had fallen to one knee. Human soldiers miles away in the military camp found themselves unable to stand beneath the overwhelming pressure, Only a handful remained unaffected.Keiran, Aether and strangely enough, Marcus.“Huh”Marcus blinked several times.“That's odd”Anthony, currently struggling to remain upright, stared at him in disbelief“What do you mean 'that's odd'?!”“I mean, everyone else looks like they're being crushed by a mountain, and I'm just standing here”For the first time in centuries, genuine surprise appeared on Aether's face.“Inter
