2026-10-05 16:48:59The Tower of Thunder rose into the heavens.
It pierced the black clouds like a spear forged by the gods.
Lightning struck its sides every few seconds, yet the ancient structure remained untouched.
At its summit floated the corrupted Heart of the Tempest.
Each beat of the crystal sent waves of black lightning across the continent.
Kael looked upward.
“I’ll climb alone.”
Selene immediately stepped forward.
“No.”
Kael smiled faintly.
“This is the Sixth Trial.”
“If we all go...”
“The shrine may reject us.”
Tharos nodded.
“He speaks the truth.”
“The Storm Sovereign chooses only one challenger.”
Selene reluctantly lowered her sword.
“Then come back.”
Kael looked into her eyes.
“I will.”
The first step onto the tower sent a surge of electricity through Kael’s body.
His muscles tightened.
Pain raced through every nerve.
Yet he continued climbing.
Step after step.
Higher and higher.
The storm seemed determined to throw him back into the abyss.
Suddenly...
A bolt of lightning struck directly in front of him.
A figure emerged from the light.
It was Kael.
Another Kael.
But this version wore a black crown.
His crimson eyes glowed with endless hatred.
“You’ve become weak.”
The dark Kael drew a blood-red sword.
“You spare enemies.”
“You forgive traitors.”
“You hesitate.”
He pointed the blade at Kael.
“A true king conquers.”
Kael calmly drew Dawnbreaker.
“A tyrant conquers.”
“A king protects.”
The dark Kael laughed.
“Protection is just another word for weakness.”
Without warning, he attacked.
Their swords collided.
CLANG!
The force shook the entire tower.
Dark Kael fought with overwhelming aggression.
Every strike was aimed to kill.
Kael fought differently.
Patient.
Precise.
Watching.
Learning.
The battle continued for what felt like hours.
Finally, Kael noticed something.
Every attack from his opponent grew stronger...
Every defence grew weaker.
“You only know how to attack.”
The dark Kael smiled.
“Because attack is all I need.”
Kael shook his head.
“No.”
“You’ve already lost.”
He stepped aside instead of blocking.
Dark Kael’s full strength carried him forward.
Unable to stop...
He crashed into the tower wall.
Kael pointed Dawnbreaker at him.
“A king who cannot control his strength...”
“...is controlled by it.”
The illusion smiled one last time before dissolving into sparks of lightning.
Far below...
Tharos watched proudly.
“He has passed the Trial of Power.”
Caelan frowned.
“That was only one trial?”
The Storm Sovereign nodded.
“The tower has three.”
Kael continued climbing.
Soon he reached a wide platform near the summit.
There...
He found someone waiting.
King Aetherion.
His father.
The king smiled warmly.
“My son.”
Kael’s heart pounded.
“You...”
“I know.”
The king laughed softly.
“I’m only a memory.”
“But memories can still speak.”
Kael walked closer.
“So many questions...”
Aetherion raised a hand.
“I cannot answer them.”
“Why?”
“Because your answers must become your own.”
Kael lowered his head.
“I wasn’t able to save you.”
His father’s expression softened.
“You were a child.”
“You were never meant to carry that guilt.”
A tear rolled down Kael’s cheek.
“I wanted to make you proud.”
Aetherion stepped forward and embraced him.
“You already have.”
The memory slowly began fading.
Before disappearing completely, the king whispered,
“Forgive yourself.”
The light vanished.
Kael remained standing alone.
But the weight he had carried since childhood...
Had become lighter.
At the summit...
The corrupted Heart of the Tempest floated above an altar.
Black lightning spiralled around it.
Before the crystal stood a gigantic wolf made entirely of storm clouds.
Its eyes burned blue.
Its body stretched nearly thirty feet high.
The creature opened its mouth.
Its voice echoed like thunder.
“I am Raijin.”
“The Guardian of Storms.”
Kael bowed respectfully.
“I seek the Sixth Inheritance.”
The wolf studied him.
“You seek power.”
Kael shook his head.
“I seek the strength to protect.”
The guardian’s eyes narrowed.
“Many have spoken those words.”
“Few believed them.”
Raijin suddenly unleashed a deafening roar.
The storm exploded.
Hundreds of lightning bolts surrounded Kael.
“You shall prove it.”
The guardian lunged.
Kael raised Dawnbreaker—
But before the battle could begin...
The sky above the shrine split open.
A massive black spear descended from the heavens.
It pierced the Heart of the Tempest.
CRAAAAACK!
The crystal shattered.
Raijin froze.
“No...”
A cold, familiar laugh echoed across the storm.
Lord Varyn.
His voice carried through the clouds.
“You are too late, Blood Sovereign.”
Black lightning spread across the sky.
The shattered fragments of the Heart began merging into a gigantic dragon made of living storms.
Even Raijin stepped backwards.
His voice was filled with disbelief.
“The Tempest Dragon...”
“It has been corrupted.”
The dragon opened its eyes.
They glowed crimson.
Then it looked directly at Kael.
And the entire world shook

CHAPTER 51: THE BEGINNING OF THE FINAL WAR
The Void had arrived.Its colossal claw tore through the fabric of the First Realm, ripping apart the sky above the World Tree.One branch snapped.Then another.Each falling branch carried an entire world.Kael watched in horror as countless stars disappeared into the darkness.The World Tree cried out.Not with words...But with the sorrow of every life it had ever nurtured.The sound shook Kael’s very soul.The seven Watchers immediately moved.Each raised a hand, releasing pillars of golden light that wrapped around the broken branches.For a brief moment...The falling worlds stopped.But the effort came at a cost.Cracks spread across the Watchers’ bodies.The tallest among them spoke through gritted teeth.“We cannot hold it...”“...for long.”The Hollow King stepped forward.His black blade ignited with silver flames.“Kael.”The young Sovereign turned.“I have spent thousands of years trying to fight the Void alone.”“I failed.”The Hollow King lowered his weapon.“But perhap
CHAPTER 50: JUDGEMENT OF THE WATCHERS
The golden light descended from the heavens.It was brighter than the sun.Brighter than the stars.Even the World Tree bowed beneath its radiance.Kael instinctively shielded his eyes.The Hollow King, however, remained standing.His expression was calm.Almost... resigned.“You came sooner than I expected.”The light gathered into seven towering figures.Each was cloaked in robes woven from living starlight.Their faces were hidden behind golden masks.Their presence alone made the First Realm tremble.Kael felt his soul grow heavy.These beings were unlike anything he had ever encountered.Not even the Seven Sovereigns possessed such overwhelming authority.One of the figures stepped forward.Its voice echoed through every branch of the World Tree.“Hollow King.”“Your exile has ended.”The Hollow King smiled faintly.“No.”“It has only begun.”Kael looked from the Watchers to the Hollow King.“You know each other.”One of the Watchers turned toward him.“We created him.”Silence.
CHAPTER 49: THE WORLD BEFORE TIME
Darkness.Then...Light.Kael slowly opened his eyes.He was standing in a vast meadow covered with silver grass that stretched beyond the horizon. Above him, there was no sun, no moon, and no stars. Instead, enormous rivers of light flowed across the sky like living constellations.The air was peaceful.Too peaceful.There was no trace of the Hollow King’s corruption.No scent of death.No hatred.Only silence.“So...”A calm voice echoed behind him.“What do you think of my home?”Kael turned.The Hollow King stood several metres away, no longer wearing his black robes. Instead, he wore simple white clothing, looking less like an ancient destroyer and more like an ordinary traveller.“You brought me here.”The Hollow King nodded.“Yes.”“Where is this place?”The ancient ruler smiled.“The First Realm.”“The birthplace of all worlds.”Kael’s eyes widened.“The First Realm...”“I thought it was only a legend.”“So did everyone after it was erased.”The Hollow King began walking throu
CHAPTER 48: THE HOLLOW KING'S INVITATION
The moment the Sixth Inheritance merged with Kael’s soul...The world went silent.No wind.No thunder.Even time itself seemed to pause.The six rings surrounding the Blood Sovereign Mark shone together, creating an ancient symbol that had not appeared in thousands of years.The First Sovereign, still beneath the Black Citadel, suddenly looked toward the heavens.His normally calm face filled with disbelief.“It has appeared...”Malachar looked at him.“What has?”“The Crest of the True Sovereign.”Far away at the Shrine of Storms, Kael stared at the glowing mark on his hand.Blue lightning circled around him without causing harm.The winds obeyed his every thought.He could feel every storm across the continent.Every raindrop.Every gust of wind.Every flash of lightning.The Sixth Inheritance had connected him to the skies themselves.Aurel watched in amazement.“I have studied the Seven Sovereigns all my life.”“I have never seen anything like this.”Tharos smiled.“Because it ha
CHAPTER 47: THE TEMPEST DRAGON
The corrupted Tempest Dragon spread its colossal wings.A single beat sent hurricanes tearing across the floating mountains.Lightning rained from the heavens.The Shrine of Storms groaned as ancient pillars collapsed one after another.Raijin lowered his head.His proud voice carried sorrow.“For ten thousand years...”“I guarded the Heart of the Tempest.”“And in one moment...”“I have failed.”Kael stepped beside the ancient guardian.“No.”Raijin looked at him.“This wasn’t your failure.”“It was Varyn’s.”The old wolf studied Kael for a long moment.Then he smiled.“You truly are different from the kings who came before.”High above them, the Tempest Dragon released a deafening roar.ROOOOOOAR!The sound alone shattered nearby mountain peaks.The dragon’s crimson eyes locked onto Kael.Then it spoke.“I know your scent.”Kael frowned.“You can speak?”“I remember every Blood Sovereign.”Its enormous head lowered until it was only metres away.“I remember your father.”Kael’s grip
