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

    The silver-haired young man stepped closer, the mist curling around his feet as if reality itself bowed aside to let him pass.Kai kept his body slightly ahead of Lerien, lightning humming faintly at his fingertips.Lerien’s threads flickered around her like nervous butterflies.The stranger lifted both hands slowly—peaceful, open.“I didn’t come to fight,” he said softly.“I came… to warn you.”Kai’s eyes narrowed.“Start by telling us your name.”The young man hesitated, as if searching for something forgotten.“…I have been called many things.Fragment.Contradiction.Unmade.”His gaze softened.“But recently… I started calling myself Athis.”Lerien flinched.“Athis… that’s a fate-signature term.”Her voice grew quiet.“It means ‘the one who should not exist.’”The young man—Athis—smiled faintly, not offended.“That is correct.”Kai didn’t lower his guard.“Alright, Athis.You said you’ve been looking for us.Why?”Athis’s expression darkened.“Because the Hunter isn’t chasing you

    The tear in the sky widened like a wound.Cold spilled from it—cold that wasn’t temperature,but the absence of possibility.The Herald hissed in panic, voice cracking:“THE UNBOUND HUNTER—EVERYONE MOVE—NOW!”The inner circle scattered, drawing weapons, forming barriers—But Lerien didn’t move.She couldn’t.Her new sight showed her threads—thousands, millions—all converging toward her.The thing emerging from the tear wasn’t shaped like anything.It was a silhouette that refused to obey form.A hole in reality wearing the vague suggestion of a humanoid outline.Its voice drifted like frost:“Unwritten girl.You should not exist.”Lerien’s breath froze in her chest.It moved.No wind.No sound.Just—appearing—right in front of her.A clawed hand of shadow reached toward her face—And Lerien felt every timeline where she died.Her heart stoppedJust before the Hunter touched her—The Fate Gate behind themexploded.Light ripped outward in a shockwave.Symbols cracked.Stone vaporize

  • - Chapter - 125 - LERIEN: THE EYES THAT SEE THE UNWRITTEN

    The Golden Paradox did not die quietly.It tore itself apart with the sound of worlds grinding into dust.The sky peeled open like thin paper.The ground folded inward like a closing eye.Every reflection of Lerien—twisted, perfect, monstrous—shattered into golden vapor.Only one remained standing in the center:The real Lerien.Her breathing was still ragged.Her hands still trembled.But the chains that had once bound herwere now dust at her feet.Her hair floated behind her as if underwater.Her irises glowed pure white—not the white of blindness,but the white of an empty pagewhere fate has not yet dared to write anything.The Golden Paradox recognized her.It whispered through the cracking air:[UNWRITTEN ONE][FORBIDDEN POSSIBILITY][ULTIMA THREAD—ACTIVE]Lerien swallowed, voice barely a whisper:“…So this is what I am?”Her echo—her perfect doppelgänger—staggered backward,its form glitching in terror.“You—You were supposed to break.You always broke in every timeline.Ev

  • - Chapter - 124 - THE FIRST AWAKENING

    The sky split into twelve horizons.The ground folded in on itself like paper.The air tasted like old metal and broken thoughts.And in the middle of the Golden Paradox realm—a lone disciple knelt on shaking knees.Lerien.The masked wanderer.Youngest of her group.Quietest.A girl who rarely spoke unless asked, always watching, always listening.But now her mask was cracked.Golden shards lay scattered at her feet.Her real face—the one she normally kept hidden—was streaked with tears.Dozens of distorted versions of herself surrounded her.Some twisted.Some rotting.Some monstrous.All whispering in a broken chorus:“You were never meant to rise.”“You were never meant to follow him.”“You were never meant to survive.”Another copy stepped out from the shifting haze.This one was perfect.Same hair, same eyes—but colder.Sharper.Like a version of her carved from pure precision.The Perfect Lerien.The one the Paradox created to mock her limitations.It crouched before her and

  • - Chapter - 123 - THE HERALD OF THE FIRST ENEMY

    At first, no one noticed.Not the scholars in the mind labyrinth.Not the warriors in the crimson arena.Not the meditators by the spirit river.Not the masked wanderers adrift in the golden void.But the Gates noticed.The beams of light flickered once—a soft tremor, almost like a heartbeat skipping.Kai felt it instantly.His head snapped up.Sylvia stepped forward.“You felt that too, right?”“It wasn’t the Origin Core,” Kai murmured.“That was external.”Simon’s wings twitched sharply.“A presence approached the Gates.”Sahra drew her curved blades.“Kai… what’s coming?”He didn’t answer.Because another tremor arrived—heavier, deeper—as if something vast and ancient brushed against the boundaries of the trial realms.Then—BOOM.A shockwave rippled through all four Gates.The light pillars warped, twisting into thin spirals, growing unstable.Mandy grabbed Kai’s arm.“The disciples are all inside there! Kai—you have to do something!”He stepped forward—and the world changed.
