Chapter 14: Rumors & Consequences
CRACKThe first ember of gossip always starts small. A whisper at the well. A drunk's confession by the fire. A child repeating what they half-heard from frightening parents. By dawn, the story had already grown wings."They say the cursed village was saved.""A healer did it. A boy—no older than sixteen.""Golden light, they said. Like mercy itself touched the earth."No one mentioned the as.No one dared.The villagers remembered Nyx's violet eyes, the quiet promise that silenced their tongues. But gratitude has a way of slipping loose, and by the time traders passed through the Lunaris border road, the tale had changed again—brighter, cleaner, safer to tell.A miracle had bloomed in the ruins.A nameless healer restored a dying land.Some swore they saw the sigil of drawn burning in his hand.And far from that humble village, within the marble halls of Eirvale's Cathedral, rumor turned into report."Lith Solis," murmured a scribe in white, tasting the name as though it were forbidd
Chapter 13: Reversal Grace
The forest was quiet again. Only the faint hum of insects and rustle of leaves kept Lith company as he sat on a moss-covered rock, staring blankly at the trees. His coat, torn and stained with dried blood, hung loosely from his shoulders. He exhaled, leaning forward, elbows resting on his knees. "...She's taking too long." Nyx had gone to return Lee back to the nearby village, promise to come back once the boy was safe. Lith tried not to think about how pale Lee's face had been before they parted—the boy's eyes wide with fear, not of the monsters, but of him. The memory stung. Lith clenched his jaw, lowering his gaze to his hands. His palms were still faintly warm, and the sigils beneath his skin pulsed with a dim, golden light. He could still remember it—the way his wounds had sealed shut in an instant, how the pain vanished all at once. It was the first time he's ever healed himself. But he hadn't even realized it back then—too dazed, too desperate. He reached awkwardly behind him
Chapter 12: The Day Mercy Became My Sin
Ash drifted in the air like fading snow. Lith stared at the withered corpse before him, his breath trembling. "W-What...what just happened?"The ground around him had turned gray and lifeless. Even the grass near Lee's feet had dried to ash. The Fiend's body, once massive and writhing, was now hollow—like something had drained its very soul. Lith's thoughts blurred. The last thing he remembered was channeling Nyx's mana...then everything went white. He looked down at his hand. No pain."I...healed myself?" He had never done that before. Back then, when he accidentally cut his hand on broken glass, he tried to heal himself. But, no matter how hard he focused, the light would never flow inward. His gift could mend others, but never himself. So he learned to live carefully, quietly, knowing that every wound could be his last. But now—Now the impossible had happened. A flicker of joy broke through his confusion. He placed a hand over his chest, his lips trembling with disbelief. He could
Chapter 11: Life To Life
Nyx dropped to her knees, clutching her throat as pain ripped throat as pain ripped through her veins, mana flaring, collapsing, flaring again in wild spasms."Master...?"The forest wind howled. Her eyes widened—something had gone terribly wrong.——Forest—Moments Earlier.Thud. Thud. Thud.Lith's boots slammed against the dirt trail, the forest blurring past in streaks of gold and green. Dew scattered with Avery step, glinting in the early light.He should've been gasping by now—heart pounding, lungs burning. But instead...nothing. His breathing stayed steady. Each step felt effortless, almost weightless."What...is this?" He muttered, brushing his fingers against his chest. His heartbeat was calm. Every stride felt natural, like his body had finally caught up with the world. Back then, in the orphanage courtyard, he could barely run halfway before collapsing. Now he was Sprint I through rough terrain withouts even breaking a sweat.A faint pulse ran beneath his skin—Bzzt... Like st
Chapter 10: When the Bond Burns Red
The morning air was unnaturally still.Lith stood where she had vanished, sunlight spilling through drifting mist. "Nyx?" He called again, voice low but uncertain. Only wind answered, sighing through broken shutters.Realization sank slow and cold. Just say the word."Oh no..." He pressed a trembling hand to his forehead. "She took that as permission."He looked up again—but the space she occupied was nothing but dust and sunlight. A strange unease coiled in his gut, through it was fear. He couldn't even name what it was—worry, disbelief, something deeper. He turned, searching the faces of the villagers still gathered behind him, but found only confusion and whispering. The silence pressed closer, thick and uncertain. Then memories flooded his mind—of earlier that morning, when Nyx had saved him and the mother and child from that monster. How easily she had cut the creature down. How calm she had been. How those violet eyes had looked upon death as if it were a trivial thing—something
Chapter 9: A Promise Misheard
The monster's corpse still twitched, split cleanly from crown to spine. A green ichor hissed as it spilled over the broken ground, acrid steam curling upward with a pungent SSHHHSSKHHK!Lith staggered back, chest heaving. His eyes darted to the figure standing over the beast's carcass."...N-Nyx," Lith's voice crackled, disbelief tightening his throat.Her violet eyes glowed faintly in the mist, cold and sharp as polished amethyst. One boot pressed against the slain creature's chest, the other planted firmly on the stone path, anchoring her like an obsidian statue. In her hand gleamed a weapon that did not belong to this world—A black blade.It pulsed with a sinister life of its own, shadows writing like living steel over one another. The edge caught the wan sunlight and gleamed unnaturally, drinking the light rather than reflect it. Every shimmer whispered of something ancient, something predatory.Lith's throat locked. A...sword? No...that's—The severed head of the monster rolled n
