Tides Of Eternity Episode 65: The Blood Moon Beckons
The smell of death hung heavy in the air.Kaiza and Mina waited at the edge of a ruined village, their bodies taut, their breath shallow. The sky overhead was painted blood red, the blood moon cupped over the land like a harbinger of doom. Somewhere, around a distant corner, fires had already started crackling, their dying embers throwing eerie shadows over the remains of what had once been a prosperous settlement.Bodies spewed out on the ground, ripped apart by an invisible force. Some were nothing but smoldering shells, flesh burned and blackened beyond recognition, while others had gashes in their skins, as if something with unholy strength had taken them apart. Mina brought a hand to her mouth and choked back the bile in her throat.“This wasn’t the Order of the Hollow,” she whispered. "This was something else."Kaiza knelt next to a corpse, his fingertips gliding against the gouges stamped into the flesh. The cuts were clean, nearly surgical. He frowned. "No ordinary beast did t
Tides Of Eternity Episode 66: The Awakening of the Devourer
The smell of blood saturated the air. They fought for the future in what was left of their present, and Kaiza, fresh from the frenzy of battle, gripped his sword tighter, peering into the black silence that was ahead of them. Mina knelt beside one of the fallen warriors, her golden fire flickering weakly against the odds. Tattered remnants of the Order of the Hollow lay in charred heaps around them, but something felt… incomplete.Kaiza felt a chill crawl up their spine. The fight had been too easy.A soft, guttural sound reverberated in the air, and then there came the slow, deliberate footfalls.Kaiza turned sharply.Out of the darkness, a figure writhed and slithered, shrouded in an inky dark cloud. The instant Kaiza felt his presence, a wave of unease rippled through her body, an instinctual dagger of warning penetrating her heart: this was not a foe they could hope to face unprepared. His pale, emaciated face contorted into some kind of grin or grimace, his hollowed eyes shimmeri
Tides Of Eternity Episode 67: The Oryx's
The sky tore open like a chronic ulcer, ichor oozing in rotund coils. Oryx’s laughter filled the battlefield, low and unnatural, rattling in Kaiza’s bones. As if, just like the words you would utter, reality itself was crumbling under the weight he had to carry.Kaiza balled his fists, pain lancing through his body from his injuries. Barely conscious, Mina feebly clenched his arm. Her golden fire sputtered in between dimness, malignant else drained. They had just barely made it out of their last encounter alive. And now Oryx was coming back stronger.A giant clawed hand was formed from the void above, its fingers hanging impossibly long, leaking shadow. Oryx’s voice came from somewhere and nowhere all at once.“Did you really think I could be defeated so easily?”Kaiza tightened his grip on his sword. “I will cut down as many as whatever it takes.Oryx chuckled. “So let’s put that conviction to the test.”More appendages slithered from the rift with a sickening squelch, gripping the r
Tides Of Eternity Episode 68: The Shallow
A dread silence fell across the battlefield. The ruins were bathed in blood and shadow, yet it was Kaiza’s body that was the only thing that mattered to Mina.She knelt next to him, shaking. His face was white, his breathing shallow. But the thing that terrified her most was the black veins that corkscrewed up his skin like some kind of living thing.“Kaiza,” she whispered, shaking his shoulders. “Wake up. Please.”He didn’t respond. His body was stiff, frozen between the realm of the living and the dead. His fingers tensed a little, his lips parted, but no words emerged.Then his eyes snapped open.But those weren’t his eyes anymore.His once-murderous glimmer vanished in a vortex of black and red, and Mina felt for the first time in her entire life fear of him.A low and guttural voice filled the air, but it wasn’t Kaiza’s voice. It resonated in all directions, worming its way into her mind."He is ours now."Mina’s blood turned to ice.He felt the darkness in his veins surge and th
Tides Of Eternity Episode 69: The Unseen Hand
The night was heavy with tension. The stench of charred flesh and blood fills the air, a reminder of a war fought, of battles waged by Kaiza and Mina. The silence that had settled after the Order of the Hollow had confronted them the last time hadn’t been a relief either it had only foretold the arrival of something more horrible.Blade dripping red, Kaiza roared at the swath of death on the battlefield. His wounds throbbed, but the pain was secondary to the weight pressing down on his mind. Mina sat beside him, propped against a fallen pillar, her golden flames flickering weakly as fatigue began to overtake her.“We can’t live here,” Kaiza muttered. "More will come."Mina nodded, though her gaze was unfocused. Something was wrong.The silence was broken by a rustling sound.Kaiza’s instincts flared. He turned toward the void outside the ruins. The earth bucked, low rumbles, imperceptible at first, but slowly escalating. The darkness was snaking and morphing once more into something f
Tides Of Eternity Episode 70: Devourer of Light
An unseen energy crackled in the night air, a pressure that saturated the battlefield, like a thick fog. Mina's shrieks rang out in the rubble, primal and unending, the rot blossoming in her veins like a ravenous parasite.Kaiza knelt next to her, his fingers wrapping around her shaking shoulders, desperation clawing at his heart. Black tendrils throbbed beneath her skin, the void’s essence wriggling like it was attempting to devour her from the inside out.“Mina! Hold on!” Kaiza’s voice was hoarse, frantic.The fire inside her flickered and dimmed, her eyes fluttering wildly with fear. She struggled to breathe, her body bending and twisting as dark energy coursed through her. Her hands pressed at her chest, fingers curling like she was trying to tear the corruption out.“It’s in me,” she gasped. “Kaiza… it’s… eating me…”He clenched his jaw; rage and desperation warred within him. It wasn’t a mere wound it was something different and worse. Something beyond flesh and bone.A curse. A
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 71: The Hungers
An eerie and unnatural void of silence consumed the battlefield. Where Mina and the Amber entity had stood just moments before now lay an empty scar on reality, an echo of their abrupt disappearance. The rubble was silent, except for the slow, curling trails of black energy curling away and into the night. Kaiza was shaking, his arm outstretched at the space where Mina had just stood. A cold, merciless emptiness gnawed at his chest worse than any wound, more suffocating than any curse.Then the world twisted, suddenly, without warning.Some force an unseen hand of darkness seized him by the throat and pulled him forward. The battlefield faded to bars of black and red, his body pulled into the maw, consumed in full by the same thing that had come for Mina. It was a fall that had no end, an abyss that had no bottom. The weight of it pressed on his lungs, turning his thoughts to static. The shadows clawed at him, stripping away sensation, devouring everything except pain. That remained.
Tides Of Eternity Chapter 72: Devourer’s Wrath
Kaiza fell into the endless void from the abyss, which opened up and swallowed all light. His body contorted, shadows scratching at his limbs, drawing him deeper into the engulfing dark. His mind screamed at the void, and the only response came as whispers from the entity that had stolen Mina from him.“She is not yours to save any more.”Kaiza’s teeth ground together; his anger was a wildfire against the oppressive cold. He willed his limbs to move, grasping for something anything to stop his fall. But the void offered nothing. Only endless falling.Then, a presence.His senses intensified a moment before the collision. A crushing force blasted him from behind, sending him sideways. He spun in the air, just catching a glimpse of the figure flying at him—Mina.Or what had become of her.Flames of gold turned ashen between pulsing black veins. Her eyes, cavernous brooks of midnight, dug into him as she lunged, her fingers stretching into scythe-like talons. Kaiza barely rolled out of t

Chapter 149: The End of the Rewrite
The end of the world.Again.But this time, Kaiza was awake for it.The sky was cleaved in two, black fire seeping through the fissures in reality.Time had turned non-linear, dripping in slow drips, shattering like glass.And standing at the center of the unraveling was him.The Version That Should Not Be.A Kaiza created out of rewritten history, impossibility, and sheer consequence.He stood quietly under the shattered stars, gold eyes shining with the burden of all possible destinies."You attempted to save them," he murmured. "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
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
