The battlefield lay silent, glowing with the aftershocks of dragon fire and bone flame. The Warden’s remains crumbled into dust, scattering across the crimson floor until nothing remained but the echo of its collapse.

Kai leaned heavily on the Bloodwind Blade, his breath ragged. Sweat ran down his brow, and though his body trembled, his eyes never left the towering form of his new general.

Drakar.

The dragon loomed above them, skeletal wings folding slowly as the flicker of death-fire dimmed in his hollowed chest. The flames in his skull burned steady, but something about them shifted—calmer, sharper. His massive form bent low, bowing before Kai, and then… it began to change.

Bones cracked and shifted with the sound of grinding stone. Blackened scales rippled outward, melting into skin that glowed faintly with pale-blue light. His massive claws retracted, reshaping into human-like hands. The wings folded and collapsed, shrinking until they became tattered remnants of a cape that trail

  • -Chapter- 34 - The Brothers’ Divide

    The throne room’s bone-fire torches had dimmed to a steady glow, but Kai did not sit long upon the throne. The fortress pulled at him, each shadowed hall whispering with secrets, each sealed chamber waiting for its new master.He rose, the ring on his finger pulsing faintly, and gestured for Alice and Drakar to follow. “We’ll see what lies deeper inside. If this place is truly mine, then I need to know every corner of it.”Alice bowed her head, her pale hair falling forward. “As you command.”Drakar snorted, his massive form rippling with restrained power. “Good. The fortress is not merely stone. It remembers. But it must be walked again to wake fully.”The three of them moved down a long, skeletal corridor, torches igniting one by one as they passed. The first chamber they entered was vast, with a black marble table stretching across its center.Maps lay etched into the stone, glowing faintly with residual mana. Regions of the portal world spread across its surface—mountains, rivers,

  • -Chapter- 33- Echoes of Power

    The throne room was quiet now, its silence broken only by the steady rhythm of skeletal boots against stone as patrols spread throughout the fortress. The once-abandoned citadel pulsed with life, bone-fire torches glowing along the vast halls.Kai stood with Drakar and Alice before the throne, listening as the dragon-general’s voice faded into the stillness.But Kai already knew the tale. Alice had told him during one of their quiet moments her silver-blue eyes distant, her tone haunted.She hadn’t been there when the fall came.She had been on a mission.“The demon,” she had told Kai. “It slithered between races, twisting them. It stole from the elves—an ancient relic of life—and made it seem as though the Skeleton King had taken it. The elves demanded its return. He told them he had no part in it… but they did not believe him.”Her voice had cracked that night, softer than he’d ever heard. “The humans, the dwarves, even the beastkin joined the elves. They marched together and came h

  • -Chapter- 32- The One

    The chamber was silent once more, though the echoes of the skeletal army’s salute still hung in the air. Kai flexed his fingers, feeling the weight of the ring embedded in his skin. The pulse of the fortress beneath him was unmistakable—walls, wards, and every soldier attuned to his presence. He could feel it all, the army, the guardians, even the Warden slowly reconstructing itself in the distance.Alice’s eyes flickered with approval. “Master… the fortress responds to you. Every soldier, every warded wall… they are yours to command. Even the guardians of the gates—once thought immovable—will follow your orders.”Kai took a deep breath, walking to the edge of the dais. From here, he could see the throne hall stretching into shadowed corridors, the floor tiles etched with runes that whispered as he stepped near them. The army moved subtly, adjusting, waiting for his signal, and even Drakar—the half-dragon general—stood alert, wings folded, tail coiled around his feet, horns faintly gl

  • -Chapter- 30- The Dragon General’s Awakening

    The Bone Fortress swallowed them whole.The gates shut with a grinding boom, sealing the crimson wasteland behind them. Inside, the air was heavier, thick with the stench of ash and charred marrow. The walls pulsed faintly, veins of bone-fire crawling through the ivory like molten rivers.Each step echoed. The skeleton army marched in disciplined silence, their spears clattering softly against their shields. Alice walked ahead, her half-human form illuminated by the glow of the fortress fire.Kai tightened his grip on the Bloodwind Blade. The transformation had drained him, his muscles still raw from channeling too much of his hybrid blood. Yet the system’s cold reminder pressed at the edge of his mind:Trial Two: The Bone WardenStatus: Awaiting Challenger.“Feels like we’re walking straight into a trap,” Mandy muttered, her dagger twirling nervously in her hands.“Not a trap,” Sylvia corrected, though her voice was tense. “A crucible. Every step in here is meant to burn the unworthy

  • -Chapter- 29- Recognition

    The guardians’ charge was like a storm—two titanic halberds cutting arcs of white-blue flame across the battlefield. The crimson ground split beneath their steps, tremors rattling the skeleton army that braced before them. Shields locked in defiance, but the sheer force of the guardians’ swing threatened to splinter them like twigs.Kai felt the pressure slam into his chest, a crushing aura that squeezed the air from his lungs. His grip on the Bloodwind Blade tightened until his knuckles whitened, veins bulging with effort.If he held back now—if he stayed as he was—they would all be destroyed.“System,” Kai muttered through clenched teeth, his voice barely audible beneath the roar of bone and fire. “Override… Transformation.”The world around him flickered, energy crackling across his skin like lightning. His body rippled, reshaping in a surge of raw power. His nails lengthened into curved, scaled claws, his feet hardened and split, talons gouging furrows into the crimson dirt. From
