Tides Of Eternity Chapter 89: The Unbroken Cycle
The ground shook under Kaiza's feet, a raw, fierce tremor that blew dust and splintered rock into the air. The figure standing over him vibrated with an energy that seemed to vibrate through the very center of the world. The feeling of crushing power emanated from it, weighing upon Kaiza as if it were a tangible mass. The air was heavy, choking, as if the world itself was paused in expectation.Kaiza's eyes grew narrow. There was no longer any denying it the Arbiter had been but the precursor to something much, much worse. The beast that stood before him, a monstrosity of writhing shadows and burning veins, was not just a minion of the natural order. It was its very embodiment, a beast born from the darkest depths of the void. Its eyes burned with a red so hot it seemed to scorch the very fabric of existence."You…" Kaiza's voice was rough, but resolve pierced the shudders of fear that coursed through him. "What are you?"The creature's reply was a low, guttural laugh, one that resona
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 90: The Last Requiem
The world seemed to tilt under Kaiza's feet as he saw Mina, her eyes empty and dead, standing on the edge of the chasm. The power of the unbroken cycle environed her, a wild mix of shadows and light that beat with an odd, unnatural rhythm. She was no longer the girl he had known, the one whose laughter had rung out in the corridors of his memories. The girl he had vowed to defend was now a part of something much greater and much darker.His heart pounded in his chest, the rhythm of it echoing in his ears, louder than the cacophony of war, louder than the flame's crackle and the earth's ear-splitting shudder as it tore apart under him. He experienced a foul weight, a suffocating hollowness that filled his lungs with difficulty. The cycle was more than a natural force. It was something, a something that had existed way before Kaiza had been on this earth, a something that had lived through the boom and bust of civilizations. And now, it had taken her."Mina!" Kaiza bellowed, his throat
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 91: The Heart of Eternity
Kaiza panted with labored breaths as he struggled to rise from the charred ground, the shock of the impact still resonating within his frame. He was battered, his soul clinging to existence on a thread, but his determination burned hotter than ever. As the smoke from the power explosion dissipated, he saw the two of them dark and foreboding standing at the center of the chasm. They remained, their bodies twisting and pulsating like deformed shadows, an evil presence that would consume the remaining light from the world.His fists curled, fingers burrowing into the ground below him. The cycle. Mina. The words of his past spoke in his mind, the burden of the centuries weighing him down. He had done so much wrong before. How many lives had he seen vanish, how many souls had he watched taken away by the unceasing tide of time and destiny? How many friends had lost their lives because of his failure to halt the relentless cycle of ruin?The responses tormented him, their whispers cutting l
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 92: The Eternity
The earth shook as the voice resonated within Kaiza's mind, a low, raspy whisper that was neither here nor there, yet hauntingly familiar at the same time. He hung motionless, sword suspended halfway through the motion, the crunch of reality itself reverberating within the innermost recesses of his psyche. There was no going back. He had passed the boundary. The burden of the curse he had borne for centuries weighed heavier than ever, but this. This was different. Far darker.The figures no, they were no longer figures anymore appeared to balloon, their presence ever more suffocating as the earth under Kaiza's feet creaked and shattered. He could feel the very ground under him writhing in pain, as if the world itself was trying to stay together."You are at the end, Kaiza," the first figure the shadow one spoke, its voice that of a thousand whispers. It was as if it were speaking to him through every strand of his body, avoiding his ears and hitting directly at his soul. "This is wher
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 93: Fractured Fate
Kaiza's breath was in ragged gasps, his body hanging in the black emptiness. Time was no longer a factor here. No seconds, no minutes only an endless, crushing silence. The glow of Mina's face had disappeared, and for the first time in centuries, Kaiza felt a chilling sense of loneliness.He was alone.But something in the back of his mind moved. The light Mina's face remained there, a distant ember that would not be blown out. Her words were still in his head, gentle but unshakeable: You can still change your destiny. You don't have to be alone.He could hear her voice so distinctly, as if she stood right next to him. Was it a memory, or was it more? The question echoed through his existence, haunting him like an insatiable hunger.Suddenly, the world came back into focus.Kaiza found himself standing once again, but the landscape had changed. The familiar world he had known was gone. In its place was a barren wasteland, a desolate stretch of land that seemed to stretch on forever. J
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 94: The Abyssal Covenant
Kaiza was swallowed by darkness. His chest constricted with each breath, the crushing pressure of shadow bearing down on him from every direction. The whisper of his name Mina's voice danced in the recesses of his mind, a faint, mournful refrain. Her face danced in his memory like the dying sparks of a fire reduced to ashes, not quite willing to be extinguished. But with this ravenous void set before her, she was nothing more than a whisper of light, too dainty to confront the encroaching shadows.The darkness that surrounded him throbbed, like it was alive, and Kaiza felt its icy, evil presence slithering under his skin. It wasn't the land alone that was tainted it was the very fabric of reality itself, unwinding with every second. Time was no longer linear; the lines between past, present, and future started to blur, warping everything in Kaiza's perception.He pushed himself up, his body weighed down by the oppressive weight of the darkness. His legs trembled, his breathing shallow
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 95: Dream
Kaiza's senses flared into a sharp, agonizing clarity, as though his very soul was being torn apart. The darkness was everywhere suffocating, omnipresent but something new, something unseen, stirred in the depths of the abyss. A presence that pulsed with ancient energy, waiting patiently to break through the veil.His own hand clutched the hilt of his sword still, the shining blade now fading, its dim flicker eerily like the candle in a tempestuous breeze. The shroudlike fingers of dark had not disappeared; they wound themselves around his limbs like skeletal fingers of mortality, constricting, choking life from him second by awful second. Kaiza struggled against the suffocating hold of the void, but the harder he struggled, the faster he felt himself unraveling. Escape was impossible. Salvation was a myth. All there was was an endless plunge into nothingness.And then crack a noise like the breaking of glass split the blackness.Kaiza's breath caught. He had heard that noise before.
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 96: The Serpent's Feast
The battlefield was quiet except for the heavy breathing of Kaiza as he struggled to hold back the ceaseless waves of wraiths. The monsters that had come out of the Abyss were unrelenting dark, otherworldly beings that ripped at his body and soul, as if the very essence of his being was being pulled taut. His sword sang through the air, the only thing between him and the ceaseless terrors that tried to take him.But in spite of his desperate struggle, the shadows grew more numerous by the second. They leapt up from the ground, as if the very earth had turned against him. His body, however immortal, began to crack under the burden of centuries of fighting. Every blow drained more from him than the last."Mina…" he panted, his eyes scanning the battlefield for the young girl he had vowed to protect. There, in the distance, he spotted her bloodied, her body slumped against a shattered wall, ringed by the dark wraiths. His heart constricted as he pressed on, stumbling through the debris,

Chapter 149: The End of the Rewrite
The stars had come back.But peace, Kaiza understood, was not always quiet. It was a tension—the quiet after a storm, the stillness after a scream, full of everything left unspoken.He stood at the boundary of memory.Though his body had been erased from the world, his mind was still anchored, resonating like an old melody in the Archive Between Worlds, the place where stories were never spoken, where truths too hazardous to be remembered were kept.And in its changing halls of golden filaments and ash-hued stone, Kaiza roamed. Not lost. Not captive. But seeking.For the past had not yet released him.Mount Umbra. Years before the end.The Shadowborne children were taught to never flinch.Kaiza recalled the sting of snow searing across his naked toes at initiation. A knife in his fist. A mask upon his eyes. His father's voice, ice as black stone:"Loyalty is not love. It is law."They grew up in silence, taught to dominate a dozen kills before their thirteenth name-day. Feelings were v
Chapter 148:The War of Existence
The sky was torn apart.Not like an explosion.Not like thunder.But like the very fabric of sound itself, it ripped asunder.Kaiza didn't even have the moment to blink before the entity shifted.Not with power.Not with speed.But with absolute, mindless inevitability.It didn't attack in the sense that an enemy would.It redefined the battlefield.In one instantKaiza was standing on solid earth.He was tumbling into a chasm of shattered timelines, each one splintering away like delicate glass.His golden flames flickered, fighting against the force pulling him down.He froze.Not because he caught himself.Not because he landed.Because the entity demanded it.Kaiza growled."You think you can control me?"The entity's voice surrounded him."I already do."And thenThe world crumbled.Kaiza balled his fists as the rules of reality warped around him.The entity's golden-black fire engulfed everything.Shredding the battlefield, reforming it in real-time.The sky turned into an ocean
Chapter 147: The Collapse of Reality
The sky tore apart.Not like lightning.Not like a storm.Like glass breaking.The Hollow City shattered, shattering into a thousand reflective shards, each one revealing a different possibility.Some revealed Kaiza triumphant, golden flames in his grasp, the entity dissolving to dust.Others revealed Kaiza was gone, nothing but a memory of what had been.But the worst onesThe ones that made his chest constrictRevealed the world lost.Not destroyed.Never having been at all.The thing moved first.One moment, it stood before him.Next, it was all around him.A dozen forms of itself blurred in and out of existence, attacking from various directions simultaneously.Each sword is pointing for Kaiza's heart.But Kaiza didn't even blink.He didn't need to react.Because nowHe knew the game."You don't get to decide anymore."Kaiza reached out with his will, his mind, his very soul.And reality listened.In an instantEvery version of the entity vanished.Not because Kaiza dodged.Not bec
Chapter 146: The War of Unmaking
The world ended.Not in flames.Not in ruin.In nothingness.The streets of the Hollow City disappeared.The sky overhead ceased to exist.The air itself wavering, as if a memory attempting to remember its own presence.Kaiza alone in the center of it all a solitary figure against an adversary that was not meant to exist.His golden eyes ablaze.But for the first time everHe wasn't certain if he existed anymore.The figure in front of him his distorted reflection grinned."You're beginning to comprehend, aren't you?"Kaiza clutched his sword tighter."I comprehend that you speak too damn much."The figure chuckled."Like a man who doesn't know he's already lost."And thenIt moved.Kaiza had barely enough time to respond.The instant the entity charged, the very fabric of reality unraveled.Not with force.Not with power.With certainty.Wherever the entity stepped, the world no longer was.The Hollow City disappeared in patches, chunks of buildings, strips of sky—all vanishing in a
Chapter 145: A King Without a Throne
For the first time in five centuries, the Hollow City was silent.No screaming.No war.No whispering darkness hiding in the cracks of reality.Kaiza stood in the middle of it all free.The Abyss was gone.Not locked away.Not hiding in the shadows.Gone.He had done the impossible.He had rejected it.Not by fighting it.Not by dominating it.But by letting go.And yet something did not feel right.Kaiza let out a sharp breath, rolling his shoulders.His body felt lighter.As if he had lost something he had carried around for so long that he didn't even know what it felt like to not have it.The Abyss had been integrated into his very being.And now, without it…Who was he?Kaiza tightened his fists."Is this what freedom is meant to feel like?"Because it didn't feel good.It felt empty.Like he had been opened up and something had been torn out.Something that, terrible as it was, had at least been a part of him.Kaiza's golden eyes blazed, but there was no abyssal fire burning in
Chapter 144: When Titans Collide
A howl of unleashed darkness erupted from under the Hollow City.The earth cleaved open, a torn edge slashing through stone, spewing out coils of abyssal flame into the air.And out of that tear something stirs.Something immense.Something ancient.Kaiza stood upon the ruined battlefield, his gold eyes fixed on the churning whirlpool of darkness that had burst forth from his own blow.He'd done it.He'd awakened the Abyss.And now he had to make it through."Every last one of you, move!" Kaiza bellowed.But it was already too late.A brutal shockwave erupted outward, shattering the Hollow City and leveling buildings to rubble.The air itself cracked, reality fighting to maintain its shape as the Abyss awakened from its deep sleep.The sky contorted, folding in upon itself, and Kaiza could sense it.The Abyss was hungry.And it had waited too long.The First Hunger awakened.The impossibly huge hand, black and smeared with shifting constellations of void, faltered for the first time.
Chapter 145: The Choice That Ends a Kingdom
Kaiza's breathing came sharp and jagged.His fingers were constricted around the wrist of his other self, the King of the Hollow City.The battle's weight still resonated in his bones, his muscles crying out from the fight, which had transcended time itself.And yet he did not attack.The king sneered, golden eyes flashing with dark pleasure."What's wrong?""This is what you wanted, isn't it?"Kaiza's hold grew tighter.He could finish it now.A single strike. A single cut.Erase this alternate version of himself.Reclaim the Hollow City as his own.But the longer he stared into his own twisted reflection, the clearer it became.This wasn’t just about a throne.This was about who he would become."Damn it."His golden eyes flashed."I’m not you."And that was the moment he made his choice.A King Must FallKaiza let go.The king swayed a little, his sneer failing for the first time."What?"Kaiza took a step back, sheathing his sword."I don't need to kill you to win."The throne room
Chapter 144: The War of Kings
Kaiza stumbled forward, his breathing labored, his heart pounding in his ears.The Hollow City lay before him, but it was not the same Hollow City he remembered.It was unmarred by war.The towers rose high, spires reaching into a moonlit sky that should not be.The streets were spotless, thronged with moving people walking, speaking, and living.For an instant, Kaiza couldn't catch his breath.This was impossible.It had never been true.It had never been anything more than a dream."And yet here I am."A weight, heavy as lead, dropped into his chest.He had rewritten destiny.The Abyss had never swallowed this city.The Hunters had never been forgotten.And he had never turned into a monster.Kaiza let out a harsh breath, raking a hand through his dark, sweat-matted hair."So what the hell do we do now?"The Harbinger's Warning"Kaiza."The voice was low, even.He turned to glance at the Harbinger, who stood a few steps behind him, silver eyes acute, expressionless.He hadn't budged
Chapter 143: A War Against the Unwritten
The darkness engulfed Kaiza entirely.In one instant, he stood before his previous self, the Hollow City intact, reality itself refusing to believe that history had been altered.The next.He was plummeting.Not bodily.Not through air, or chronology, or even the Abyss.But through something deeper.Something older.Something that should not exist.Something that had waited.And at its center something watched.Kaiza's body struck solid earth, but it felt nothing like the real world.The sky, or what passed for a sky, was a chasm of writhing shapes and wisps.The air tasted too thick, weighing upon him like a thousand invisible fingers.He pushed himself up, his golden eyes furrowing as he turned.And then.He saw it.The figure.It stood where his former self had once stood, regarding him with a look that belonged to no living thing.Kaiza had battled gods.He had fought the Abyss.He had witnessed things without a name.But this.This thing was wrong.Not as the Abyss was.Not as the
