Chapter 247: The Father’s Betrayal
The air in the grand hall was thick with anticipation, every footstep echoing in the silence. Gregory stood at the threshold, his eyes locked on the shadowed figure seated on the throne. His father.A lifetime of unanswered questions, a lifetime of abandonment, all of it swirled within him like a storm. Yet, the man seated before him was not the figure of invincible power that Gregory had envisioned.He was slumped, frail, and aged beyond recognition, a shadow of the imposing ruler Gregory had once feared.The golden figure, now standing beside Gregory, spoke softly. “This is the man who abandoned you. The man who kept you from your birthright. The one who chose power over family.”Gregory’s chest tightened as the words cut through him. His father, the man who had sent him to the gutter, the man who had allowed him to be beaten and humiliated by his own children, was the same man sitting there now, broken, a mere ghost of what he once was.But there was no room for sympathy here. No r
Chapter 246: The Final Test
The golden figure stood motionless, his sword hovering above Gregory's throat, the gleam in his eyes now replaced by something far deeper, something unsettling. Gregory’s breath came in ragged gasps as he stared up at the towering figure, his mind racing, his body screaming in protest.For a moment, time seemed to freeze. The weight of the sword above him was no longer the only thing pressing down. The pressure of the entire world seemed to converge on that single, breathless moment. Every decision, every step, every sacrifice, it all led up to this.The golden figure’s expression softened ever so slightly, his grip on the sword loosening. He lowered it just an inch. The silence that followed was deafening, and Gregory could feel his heart pounding in his chest, each beat a reminder of what was at stake.“You have done well, Gregory,” the figure said quietly, his voice no longer booming but oddly calm. “Better than I ever anticipated.”Gregory’s brow furrowed, a mix of confusion and e
Chapter 245: The Golden Trial
The ground continued to tremble beneath Gregory’s feet as the golden-armored figure took a step forward. His heart hammered in his chest, the air heavy with a strange, almost suffocating energy.The towering figure remained silent, but its presence was overwhelming, as if it were more than just a man, it was a force of nature, a living embodiment of power.Gregory could feel his breath catch in his throat, every instinct screaming for him to run. Yet, his legs were frozen, his feet unwilling to move. He was no longer just a housekeeper, no longer a helpless servant.He was the heir to an empire, and this was his moment to prove it, The golden figure’s hand reached up, slowly removing the helmet, revealing a face both familiar and alien.The man beneath the helmet was older than Gregory had anticipated, with graying hair and deep lines etched into his face. But what caught Gregory’s attention were his eyes, eyes that gleamed with ancient knowledge and power."Do you know who I am?" The
Chapter 244: The Awakening Shadows
Gregory’s heart pounded in his chest as the deafening roar reverberated through the chamber. His instincts screamed at him to turn and flee, but his legs refused to obey.The shadows around him thickened, coiling like serpents, their forms shifting and contorting as they seemed to move toward him.A cold gust of wind swept through the chamber, sending a chill through his bones. The eerie blue light flickered and dimmed, casting everything into a deeper, suffocating darkness. His breath hitched in his throat as the air became thick, almost suffocating.The very fabric of reality seemed to warp around him. "Who's there?" Gregory called out, his voice trembling despite his best efforts to sound strong.No answer came just the continuous roar, growing louder and more menacing, reverberating off the walls. It felt like the sound itself was alive, feeding on his fear.And then, from the shadows, a figure emerged. It was tall, with elongated limbs that seemed to stretch unnaturally, its body
Chapter 243: Into the Newline
The world around Gregory disappeared in a flash of blinding light. It was as though the very fabric of reality had torn apart, leaving him in a void of nothingness.The sound of his own heartbeat thundered in his ears, but he couldn’t feel his body. His senses were disoriented, the air thick and oppressive, as if he were suspended in a vast, empty expanse.He tried to scream, but his voice didn’t escape his lips. Panic surged through him, and for a moment, he thought he might suffocate in the overwhelming silence. But then, just as suddenly as it had all begun, the light faded, and the pressure around him lifted.Gregory’s feet hit solid ground, and he stumbled forward, his hands bracing against the floor as his vision cleared. He found himself in an unfamiliar place, a dark, cavernous hall that stretched into infinity.The air was thick with the scent of damp stone, and the walls were lined with ancient, crumbling tapestries.“What… what is this place?” Gregory whispered, his voice b
Chapter 242: The Unlocking
Gregory’s hand hovered above the glowing key, the pulsating light casting eerie shadows across his face. Every instinct screamed at him to pull away, to turn back, but his curiosity, and the weight of his destiny pulled him forward.The moment his fingers made contact with the key, the entire chamber seemed to react. The walls groaned, and the ground beneath him shifted, causing a wave of dust to rise from the floor. The tome in the chest stirred, its chains rattling as if awakened from a long, deep slumber.Gregory’s heart raced in his chest, his breath shallow as he lifted the key from the chest. It was warm to the touch, vibrating with an energy that felt both foreign and familiar at the same time. He felt an undeniable pull toward the book, toward the truth hidden within it.Without thinking, he turned to face the figure who still stood at the edge of the chamber, watching him with that cold, unreadable gaze. “What is this?” Gregory asked, his voice a mixture of awe and fear. “Wha
