The world was dyed in red. Blood leaked and seeped into the dry land beneath. A lone figure stood at the center, surveying a world drenched in red. The essence of a person's 'concept' was forged through their life experiences and deepest desires. All Kaelion knew since childhood was blood. He had shed and lost an uncountable amount of blood. "Help....!" "Spare me!" "Noo!" Kaelion killed and killed and killed. All he knew was how to kill. In order to survive the Cave of Blood…-

"Congratulations! Your son has been selected as one of the participants for the Cave of the Blood Morphosis." A voice boomed outside a quiet and remote home. The house looked ready to collapse, the wooden planks barely holding together. A woman stood in front, shielding a small, thin child who clung to her side, wide eyes fixed on the men in black uniforms standing imposingly before them. The child appeared to be no more than eight years old, his frame painfully thin with sunken cheeks that…

The cheering of the crowd boomed throughout the entire platform. It was so loud that I momentarily forgot about the pain I felt in my left hand. '…It's broken.' My heart sank at the realization. Staring at the slightly panting Kaelion, I clenched my teeth in frustration. The situation was far from ideal. Even though Kaelion had maintained the upper hand for most of the fight, I had managed to keep things under control. But it was a struggle. The rate at which Kaelion could create and form…

In the Colosseum of Grimspire, a dazzling light poured from above, illuminating the square platform at the center. The atmosphere was as loud as it could be, every breath heavy with anticipation and tension. The crowd's fervor reached a fever pitch. Two figures stood in the middle of the arena while the referee stood by the side. Julien appeared calm, his expression unreadable as he faced Kaelion. Kaelion, equally composed, wore a white uniform accented with subtle shades of blue that fluttered…

The next day. 3:11 PM. The white sun silently stared at the land beneath, overlooking the entire city with its oppressive gaze. Grimspire felt eerily silent, its deserted streets illuminated by flickering lamps across the cobblestone streets. The town resembled a ghost town, with a heavy tension hanging in the air. Scattered across the cobblestone were fliers, their edges curling in the wind. Displayed on the fliers were two simple lines; The Four Empire Summit was reaching its…

Left stranded by Leon, I could only wait for half an hour before picking myself back up and navigating through the streets before finding the Inn where I was staying. While Grimspire was a lot smaller than Bremmer, it was still a very large city. I had to ask for directions several times in order to find the Inn. Creak! I plopped onto the bed the moment that I entered the room. "Hoo." Sinking into the bed, I started to relax. My legs still felt wobbly, and I could tell that my calves…

Chapter 327: An Abrupt Situation The world was dark. “Rage, fear, joy…” I was lost in my own thoughts, staring mindlessly at the six orbs that stood before me. They silently floated in the air while the words beneath it glowed faintly. Time seemed irrelevant to me at this moment. All that took my attention were the size orbs that stood before me. “Rage, fear, joy…” I continuously mumbled the name of each and every orb. The world was still pitch black, an incomplete world that lacked…

It took me a few seconds to realize what had happened, and when the realization hit me, I wasn't able to hold myself from groaning. '... What in the world is in this bastard's mind?' I was extremely tempted to just look at the statue but held myself back. I didn't want to give it the idea that I knew about Kiera and Aoife. If they even were possessed by the statue. "You may leave the platform." Snapping out of it, I saw the familiar cube appear in front of me. I glanced at the referee…

Six orbs appeared in my mind. They were all within arm's length. So long as I reached my hand, I'd be able to touch them. Standing before them, I felt the urge to touch them. I knew that something would happen were I to touch them, but I stopped myself. I knew that it wasn't time just yet. Looking around me, and seeing the darkness that enveloped the six orbs, I found myself shaking my head. "....There's so much missing." This was vastly different than what I understood about domains.…

Evelyn stood frozen, her breath caught in her throat as she stared at the statue standing before her. Its lifeless eyes seemed to bore into her soul, their blurred gaze filled with emptiness. As she stepped closer, the faint cracks along its nose became more pronounced, and the black streaks that lined its cheeks seeped into the statue's face, highlighting its sorrow. The air around her grew colder and the silence felt deafening. Despite the situation she was in, Evelyn was able to remain…
