Talon stood there processing what Gwen had said. A faint memory stirred in his mind, though he tried to deny it.

"It can't be," he thought. Yet as Gwen cried on the ground, something inside told him it was true.

Despite his doubts, Talon continued walking away. But Gwen's voice stopped him in his tracks. "It's me...I'm the red-haired girl you saved five years ago in the forest, from the SS-Class Rank Demonic beast. I'm the one who gave you this ring, I told you it was given to me by my father."

Talon turned slowly, disbelief and hope warring on his face. "Gwen?" he breathed. Then recognition dawned and he ran to her, lifting her in a tight embrace. "I never thought I'd see you again!"

Gwen laughed through her tears as they clung to each other. But Talon quickly released her, embarrassed. "Sorry about that."

Gwen smiled, shyly brushing her hair back. "No, I apologize for earlier. You had every right to be upset."

"We were both at fault," Talon said gently. "Let's put it behind us.

  • The Portal

    “It’s been over forty years since the Red Sun became the norm for we humans. Never would we have thought we’d never see a natural sun again. And all this... is because of Talon Stormbane.”The holographic news anchor’s voice echoed across the lab, her tone dry but heavy with implication.“We thought demons would end the world. But no—our end came from one of us. From a Sentinel who pushed too far.”A slow reel of images followed—burnt cities, dry oceans, cracked farmland glowing red under a dying sky. And then came her voice again:“In a quest for immense power, Talon activated an unstable celestial flame. It devoured Earth’s skies, collapsing ecosystems. And in the chaos… he killed Gwen—his wife. David Stormbane’s mother. She died during the Red Sun heat storms.”“The only reason Earth Central still stands is because of her son… the greatest mind of our era.”Click.The hologram shut off with a snap of fingers.David stood quietly, his hand still lowered. The light from the rune plat

  • The Truth About Him

    “Do you know the funny thing about life?” Talon’s voice rang clear as he hovered above the fractured battlefield, gliding through the air like a divine specter. His cloak billowed behind him, illuminated by the radiant script etched into his back. Each step he took didn’t touch the earth.“There is always karma… or perhaps I should call it what it truly is—retribution. Whether we say it aloud or not… we’re all believers in it, in the end.”As he spoke, his fingers remained effortlessly clasped around the gleaming tip of the corrupted spear—the very one Alternate Talon had hurled to kill. Caught between just two fingers, the weapon pulsed with hostile energy, but Talon’s grip never trembled.“Some might say my time in the Dreamworld was wasted… but I disagree. Sure, I learned the supreme body-tempering technique, sculpted strength into every inch of my being. But what I saw what touched me was far greater.”He paused, eyes glinting gold.“A glimpse of a demigod… God’s Blessing itself.

    Talon caught the opening and slashed across Alternate Talon’s arm, drawing blood. Red droplets scattered like embers. “Someone’s getting sloppy,” Talon smirked. “You’re not keeping up.” But as he prepared to press the advantage— [GOD-BLESSING: SECOND SEAL – COOLDOWN: 30 SECONDS] A system alert echoed in Talon’s mind. His powers faltered. Talon staggered—off-balance as he was vulnerable. Alternate Talon’s eyes gleamed. “Payback time!” With renewed rage, he slashed back—the counter was clean. Talon reeled, blood streaking his golden coat. Their blades dematerialized slowly in their hands as their energy reserves were getting depleted. The two stood, sweating blood, their bodies heaving, lights flickering at their fingertips.

  • I Consider You As A Betrayal

    With a pulse, the Blood Gate expanded. The ground fractured, space rippled, and the Nine Principals were thrown backward, dragged by the force of the blood ritual as dust exploded outward. Lightning carved the sky open like divine judgment.“Form Omega Circle!” Ren barked, already shifting into motion.They obeyed without hesitation. Each Principal moved in seamless sync—no need for words. Formations had been burned into their bones through decades of war despite the fact that they were from alternate dimensions. The Omega Circle was no mere tactic—it was their convergence: a formation that aligned their auras and layered their disciplines into a single harmonic shell.Ren and Alternate Ren pivoted together—left feet planted at exact mirrored angles. Their feet sliding in an X-pattern across scorched stone as they dragged their blade in a slow crescent along the ground. “Sanctifier Ward: Phase Lock.”Golden rings burst outward in spinning orbits, tracing overlapping sigils in the ai
