The Awakening of the Cosmos
Kael stood in the silence of the battlefield, his body emanating waves of energy so vast that the fabric of space-time trembled around him. The cosmos had shifted, and every living being across the stars could feel it.
The Void King was gone. But something… lingered.
Far beyond mortal comprehension, forces unseen were shifting.
The deities who had watched from their celestial thrones no longer looked down upon Kael—they looked up.
For he was beyond them now.
He had broken past the chains of fate, torn through the barriers of reality, and stepped into the realm of the Unwritten Future.

The Gods Stir
In the depths of the Ethereal Pantheon, where even time dared not flow, gods who had once thought themselves eternal now shivered in uncertainty.
The Supreme Oracle, an entity whose words shaped destinies, whispered into the void:
"A power beyond the Divine Order has emerged… The Unchained One walks."
And so, the gods convened.
Would they kneel? Or would they strike?
Kael did not know—nor did he care.

The Earth's Reckoning
Back in the mortal world, the battlefield was a graveyard of destruction. Ruined cities, broken mountains, shattered heavens.
Yet amidst the ruins, survivors gasped for breath. Some wept in relief. Others trembled in fear.
Seraphine, her body barely holding together from the battle's toll, staggered towards Kael. Her eyes, filled with questions, locked onto his.
"Kael…" she whispered, her voice a mix of awe and terror. "What… are you now?"
Kael turned, his gaze filled with something beyond mortality.
"I am."
No more words were needed.

A Rift Opens
Then, the air split apart.
Not torn. Not broken.
Erased.
A rift—no, a doorway—carved itself into existence, leading to an expanse that had never been seen before. A place beyond reality.
Kael's instincts screamed. This was no ordinary disturbance.
Something old was watching.
Something that had been waiting for him.
The survivors, the gods, the stars themselves—they held their breath.
For the battle was over, but Kael's true journey had only just begun.
