Tides Of Eternity Episode 39: The Edge of Eternity
Kaiza's breath came thick in his ears, for the suffocating darkness seemed to close about him like a living blanket of shadows that writhed and slithered, eager to drag him into oblivion. His hands shook as he tried to grip the sword; the weight was too much for him, and it slipped from his fingers yet again. The cold was now unbearable, gnawing at his bones; every breath he took cut like inhaling broken glass.But just as it seemed his world was completely going to come crashing down around him, a single word, shrill and commanding, cut through the chaos."Enough."It wasn't a voice. It was a command, a force that resonated deep within the marrow of his bones. The darkness recoiled, shuddering backward as if struck by a blow, and for the briefest of moments, Kaiza could breathe. The pressure on his chest, the weight of the shadows everything lightened.Kaiza's eyes darted to the source of the voice; his heart galloped uncontrollably inside his chest. For a fraction of a split second,
Tides Of Eternity Episode 40: Into the Abyss
Kaiza's world spun, all sensation blurring into a throbbing ache. Darkness pressed in from all sides, suffocating, impenetrable. His breaths were shallow, ragged gasps, but the world felt distant, as if he were sinking into an endless void.Not like this.The thought was in his mind, desperate and pleading. He could not let it end this way. He could not let Vernon win after all he had been through, not after all that Mina had given.A scream echoed in the quiet. It was a scream from a distance but unmistakable a scream so familiar that it stabbed him in the heart.Mina.Kaiza's chest constricted, fear overwhelming him, and he jerked up as far as he could go, his body acting on autopilot. But the agony was too much. His head pulsed, his limbs lacking strength, and he stumbled backward, falling back to his knees. Darkness surrounded him, swirling across his body like a deadly, enveloping fog."Get up," he muttered to himself, gritting his teeth as he forced his hands to the ground. He h
Tides Of Eternity Episode 41: The Reckoning
Kaiza's heart thundered in his chest as the shadows continued to claw at him, pulling him deeper into the abyss. The light that had flickered so brightly moments ago now seemed distant, like a star on the edge of a dying universe. He couldn't reach it not like this. Not when the darkness around him felt more alive than ever, suffocating him with its weight.Where is she?The idea writhed in his skull, unrelenting, merciless. Mina was somewhere out there, he knew it; she just existed beyond the reach of his fingers, and Kaiza was willing to rip the world open to find her. His hands compressed on nothingness, as if the very fabric of his energy was drifting through his fingers. Shadows asserted themselves, rending at his body, pulling him down with every breath. The power that had kept him alive for so long now seemed fragile, as if the threads of his existence were being unraveled."Mina!" Kaiza bellowed once more, the sound raw and desperate, swallowed whole by oppressive darkness. It
Tides Of Eternity Episode 42: The Bloodline's Edge
The air felt heavy with anticipation. Kaiza could feel its weight pressing on him, stifling and almost palpable. His fingers closed around the hilt of the blade: the only friend he had from all those struggles and tortures over the course of centuries. He did not know how long he could pretend to be a man again, because the night was closing around his body just as it seemed to close its noose upon his mind as well.Mina was in danger.She was the one thing that had driven him forward. She was that spark of hope he had held onto for such a long time. And here they were now, stuck inside a maze, which seemed to change with each step they made. Every corner brought them nearer to an enemy they didn't know much about, but there was one thing they knew they had to fight.Kaiza could make out the sound of low and guttural whispers, low enough that even the darkness cannot smother the breath. Others, beyond and before the oldness of eternity, crouch in his own world, threatening to tear up
Tides Of Eternity Episode 43: The Unseen Enemy
The moon hung heavy in the night sky, casting an eerie glow over the city. Its pale light was the only thing that illuminated the chaos unfolding below. Kaiza's heart pounded in his chest as he moved swiftly through the alleyways, Mina not far behind him. The air was thick with tension—something was wrong. He could feel it in his bones. Mina was quiet, but he could hear the quickened breaths as she and Kaiza rushed to avoid the growing crowd of pursuers closing in on them. He couldn't allow himself to lower his guard—not even for one second. Not with the enemy so close. "What's happening, Kaiza?" Mina's voice shook, but in her eyes there was a fire that Kaiza had never seen before. “It’s not over yet. We’re not safe until we’re out of here,” Kaiza muttered through gritted teeth, his instincts screaming at him to keep moving. Shadows danced on the walls on either side; every dark alcove had the promise of hidden horrors. Kaiza had no such illusions—whoever was hunting them wasn't go
Tides Of Eternity Episode 44: The Shadow's Wrath
It is dark, crushing. The world had narrowed for Kaiza to a single point: the throat, fingers crushing it, and the dark around him growing deeper by the moment. His heart pounded out a heavy cadence, beating in time with his impending doom. His lungs screamed as he fought to drag air into them, his body struggling against the pressure that would crush him flat. No. Not like this. His mind screamed in revolt, pleading for clarity, a way out. He could not let it end there. Not when Mina was still outside, not when so much lay at stake. And then one last hit of adrenaline went into his veins. His hand went shooting up to clamp fingers around the wrist of the figure, while that icy feel through its body had black ripples like living shadows inside of them. He did not care; it did burn, after all. But he couldn't stop. This is my fight. He clenched his hand around the figure's wrist and twisted his body, throwing all his strength into a desperate counterattack. The figure snarled, losi
Tides Of Eternity Episode 45: The Wrath
The creature towered before Kaiza, a living nightmare of swirling darkness and malice. Its eyes blazed with unnatural fury, burning through the thick shadows in the room like hellfire. Every inch of its monstrous form seemed to pulse with an ominous energy, as if the very air around it were being sucked into its void. Kaiza's heart pounded in his chest. He felt the weight of the power, the pressure a vice around his ribcage. No way out. No more running. He glanced down at Mina, her face pale as she clung to him, shuddering with fear. Her grip was weak, but her fingers dug into his arm as if trying to anchor herself to something, anything. "I won't let it take you," Kaiza whispered, but he didn't really say the words. He couldn't be sure he believed them himself. This creature was something more, something above anything he had ever fought against. It shook him to his bones: the strength, the hunger, the pure, unstoppable evil. The shadowy thing let out a guttural growl, its for
Tides Of Eternity Episode 46: The Descent into Darkness
The darkness suffocated everything, shrouding the room in heavy, oppressive silence. Kaiza's senses overload: his body is a searing mass of pain, yet his mind is sharp. He cannot afford to let his guard down now, not with Mina this close. The flash of a face, his mind still reeling from that brief, unholy glimpse, pulsed through his thoughts like an echo he couldn't silence. Tightening his grip on the pendant, the jade still glowing dimly in his palm, whatever was happening now, whatever just broke forth under the shadow of the creature, Kaiza wanted answers. He wanted them right now.But the answers didn't come. Not from the beast before him, nor from the chilly, lifeless walls that surrounded him. All Kaiza could hear was the uneven sound of his breath, the pounding of his heartbeat within his chest. Mina lay beneath him, shallow and fast with her breathing, and Kaiza could feel the weight of her fear pressing against him.Mina…" His voice cracked as he looked down at her. Her face

"And in that, you destroyed the balance."Kaiza did not speak. His sword was at his hip. His body was ripped apart, his breathing shallow. But his eyes.His eyes blazed like stars."What are you?" Kaiza finally spoke.The other Kaiza smiled."I am the answer to your question."He spun, arms open to the devastation."You asked if fate was something you could rewrite. I am your answer. I am what occurs when it is."A voice."Kaiza."Soryn.She was returned.Sh

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
