The air buzzed with tension and power. In the heart of Jeremy’s estate, Jessica stood before the glowing construct of the Soul Ladder, her hands dancing over ancient sigils that shimmered with vibrant energy. The structure was massive—a spiral of arcane symbols and blackened stone, pulsing in rhythm with the cosmos. It was an unholy bridge, stitching together the fabric between Earth and the celestial realm.
Jeremy stood silently behind her, his face shadowed, his thoughts heavy. This was the moment he had prepared for—a culmination of all the decisions, sacrifices, and battles he had endured. Today was his nineteenth birthday. The day everything would change.As the final touches were completed, Jeremy summoned Elijah, the guild master of the Dark Horses Guild, along with key members from his first-ever alliance. They gathered in the great hall, their expressions filled with a mixture of loyalty and unease. The people who had once fought beside him now looked at h

Jeremy’s gaze drifted upward as the guardians descended. These beings were unlike anything he had ever seen—humanoid shapes forged from pure celestial energy, their forms flickering like flames and stardust.

The air in the celestial realm felt heavier than before, as if the world itself were aware of Jeremy and his allies’ presence, waiting silently to swallow them whole. The golden mists swirled lazily around them, shimmering rivers of starlight winding underfoot. Jeremy stood still, eyes closed, attempting to read the alien energy surrounding them—but even his sharpened senses felt muffled here, as though the plane itself sought to hide its secrets.Kade, ever impatient, broke the silence.“What now?” Kade blurted, his voice brimming with tension.Noctis shot him a sideways glance, his tone cool and mocking. "Must you whine every time we stop? Do you ever shut up?"Kade’s grin spread wide, his annoyance bubbling over. "You know, I never liked you in the first place. Should have stayed in your own damn guild."Noctis tilted his head slightly, his smirk razor-sharp. "Yet here I am.

The mist thickened as Jeremy and Noctis ventured deeper into the alien forest. They knew something lurked nearby, hidden among the towering trunks and glowing foliage. Then, the forest stirred, and the first of the beings emerged—creaking giants of bark and leaves, humanoid in shape but utterly inhuman.These beings were immense, towering like ancient trees come to life. Their faces were rough-hewn, like carved wood, and their eyes glowed a fierce yellow, devoid of warmth or mercy. As more of them emerged from the shadows, Jeremy counted at least seventy surrounding them in a silent, menacing formation.Noctis cracked his knuckles, his usual grin creeping onto his face. "What took you so long to show up?" he taunted, spinning his dagger between his fingers. "I’ve been itching for a fight."Jeremy’s sharp gaze moved over the assembled beings. They didn’t seem like much of a challenge—not to him, at least. He had anticipated stronger resistance, but this was

It felt like the air itself had come alive, and with each word, the oppressive pressure mounted.Kade’s heart pounded in his chest as he and his crew slowly turned, their senses alert and attuned to the palpable threat looming behind them. There, before their disbelieving eyes, stood a figure draped in a light blue robe, a black sash neatly tied around its waist. Its body was composed entirely of water, solidified yet fluid, shifting with every movement. The being’s face was unnervingly smooth, like a frozen wave, and its limbs rippled with the power of the sea."You’ve killed my student," the creature said in a cold, reverberating voice that echoed through the air.
