The heavy marble ceiling of the vast, quiet library cracked loudly. A dark, jagged red shadow was bleeding through the white stone. It was a hostile, evil magic trying to break into Adam’s mind.

Adam Cook stood in the center of the room. The golden figure of the System stood next to him, flickering with fear. In the real world, Catherine was holding the small black seed that contained Adam's soul. But someone new and terrifying was coming to steal it.

"I need to wake up," Adam said calmly.

    The hot desert wind blew across the Searing Flats. Catherine stumbled through the deep, red sand. Her beautiful white silk dress was ruined, covered in dirt and dry mud. She was completely exhausted, but she refused to stop running. When Adam had thrown her miles away to protect her from the Flare-Witch magic, she had landed safely in a soft sand dune. But as soon as she woke up, she turned around and ran all the way back. Catherine reached the edge of the deep red canyon. She stopped and gasped in pure horror. Filling the entire canyon was a massive, glowing dome of solid white sunlight. It was Malphas’s light-ward. The magical cage was blindingly bright. Catherine shielded her blue eyes and looked through the glowing wall. High up on the steep red cliff, Adam Cook was pinned to the rock. Four thick, gray Null-Steel spikes were driven completely through his wrists and his thighs. The heavy metal was glowing angry orange from the intense desert heat, cooking him alive. Adam did

    The harsh, blinding sun rose high over the Searing Flats. The dark purple clouds completely melted away, leaving only an empty, burning blue sky. Adam Cook hung entirely alone on the steep red cliff. Malphas’s giant dome of golden light surrounded the canyon. The magical barrier kept the desert wind out, but it trapped all the heat inside. The canyon quickly felt like a giant, boiling oven. Adam’s head hung down. He breathed in dry, scratching gasps. His pale skin was covered in sweat, but the incredibly hot air instantly evaporated the water. His skin turned cracked, dry, and blistered. But the absolute worst pain did not come from the hot sun. It came from the four thick Null-Steel spikes. The heavy gray metal spikes pinned his wrists and his thighs deeply into the solid red rock. As the desert sun beat down on the cliff, the metal began to absorb the extreme heat. The Null-Steel was highly conductive. The thick spikes slowly turned from dull gray to a glowing, angry orange.

    The bruised, toxic purple sky rumbled. Adam Cook held his heavy, pitch-black boot over the angel’s head. He was ready to crush Malphas into the dirt. He was ready to end the Golden Scourge forever. But suddenly, the world spun wildly around Adam. His heavy boot did not fall. It froze in mid-air. Deep inside Adam’s chest, a terrible, agonizing emptiness opened up. Turning his own soul into a Black Sun had broken the rules of the universe. He had sucked all the heat and light from the massive Solar Dome, but that impossible magic came with a massive price. The inversion had cost him every single drop of his reserve energy. Adam’s flawless, black obsidian skin suddenly lost its shine. It turned dull and brittle. The pitch-black crystal covering his arms shattered like cheap glass, falling away to reveal his pale, bruised human skin underneath. The endless, dark holes of his eyes flickered. The terrifying Void vanished, and his normal, tired brown eyes returned. Adam gasped for air.

    Adam pulled the golden spear forward. The pitch-black rot of the Void spread instantly up the weapon, reaching for Malphas’s hands. The Golden Scourge screamed in panic. To save his own life, Malphas did the unthinkable. He summoned a sharp blade of pure light and violently chopped off his own corrupted arm. The severed arm fell to the sand and turned to dry, gray ash. Malphas flew high up into the top of the blazing Solar Dome, bleeding bright white light from his shoulder. "You are a plague!" Malphas shrieked. His beautiful, bell-like voice was broken and raspy. "I will burn every atom of your dirty flesh!" Malphas raised his remaining hand. The entire Solar Dome responded. The walls of blinding white fire began to shrink. All the terrible heat and intense light in the giant cage rushed into the angel's palm. He was gathering a concentrated blast of pure Solar Flare. It was an attack meant to wipe out entire cities. Adam stood on the boiling glass floor. He dropped the rusted,

    "Detonate," Malphas commanded softly. The glowing angel brought his golden spear down, pointing it at the center of the canyon. The thousands of invisible sun-seeds buried in the red rock walls instantly exploded. But they did not explode outward. They did not blast rock and dirt into the air. Instead, the explosion moved inward. A million beams of pure, concentrated sunlight shot out from the canyon walls. They flew over Adam’s head and connected in the sky. They wove together like threads of bright, burning yarn. In less than a second, they formed a massive, solid cage of white fire. It was a Solar Dome. Adam was completely trapped inside. The heat inside the dome was absolute. The red clay floor instantly melted into bubbling liquid glass. The air itself caught on fire. But the worst part was the light. It was a brilliant, inescapable white glare. It was a million times brighter than the midday sun. The light pierced right through Adam’s dark obsidian eyelids. Adam screame

    Adam took one slow, unstoppable step toward the angel of light. Malphas, the Golden Scourge, backed away. The beautiful, glowing angel was genuinely shocked. His atomic vibration magic had completely failed. Malphas scowled. His four white wings beat the hot air. He flew backward, leading Adam out of the flat desert and into a deep, jagged canyon carved into the red clay. "You survived one trick, shadow," Malphas chimed. His voice was like a chorus of ringing bells. "But you cannot survive the sun!" Malphas raised his golden spear. He pointed it directly at Adam’s chest. A blinding, burning line of pure sunlight shot from the tip of the spear. It was a Solar Beam. It moved faster than a normal arrow. The heat coming off the beam was absolutely terrifying. Adam stepped quickly to the side. The beam missed his chest. But the beam did not hit the ground. It sharply turned in mid-air. It tracked Adam’s exact movement. Adam had to run. He sprinted across the dry, red dirt floor of t
