Leon walks across the flattened grass, taking the exact spot Lesca had occupied. He closes his eyes and begins to stretch. He rotates his wrists, rolls his massive shoulder blades, and twists his torso. Soft, sharp cracks echo from his joints. It is a subtle realization—during the bloodbath with the griffins, Leon wasn’t even fully … Read more

Taglia and Makisa lead the group deep into the jungle separating the two continents. They arrive at a secluded clearing where the tall grass has been deliberately flattened. Scattered bedrolls, shawls, and backpacks indicate this is their camp. Though it sits less than a hundred meters from the Royal City border—close enough that the faint … Read more

Jarrod watches the two massive griffins crash into the dirt. They do not just fall; they collapse into pieces, their hind legs and heads cleanly severed by the shadowless Z-slash. He stares at the corpses for a fraction of a second before dropping his gaze to find the thing who cut them. The voice hasn’t … Read more

It is a little past noon over the sprawling grasslands separating Titan City and Royal City. The sun hangs slightly to the west, casting its harsh light from the Royal City side. Beneath the shade of a massive tree, the food preparation has finally concluded, but the peace is entirely absent. Leon and Lesca are … Read more

It is a starry night under a crescent moon. Sitting on the soft earth is young Maven, looking to be in her early tens, perhaps even younger. Beside her sits her father, a man in his forties around 5’10”. They are surrounded by green grass, thick bushes, and blooming flowers, sitting peacefully in what appears … Read more

She is animating her hands through the air with fluid, precise grace. A second later, the sky above the falling meteors distorts. … Read more

“Fuck you all. Domain of the Shepherd’s Wisdom!” Intellectual roars. His Heat activates with a violent hum. The gravitational force within a ten-meter circular radius begins twisting and molting—a sickening, fluctuating tide that delivers bone-crushing pressure one second and absolute weightlessness the next. The maroon-blooded skeletons caught in the radius are instantly pulverized back into … Read more

It is a bright, sunny morning in Titan City. The reconstruction of the 1st Block cafe—the exact establishment blown apart by Taglia‘s wind cutters —has finally been completed. Because he was instrumental in the rebuilding and rescue efforts, Jarrod was personally invited as a guest of honor for its grand reopening. Leaving the penthouse, Jarrod … Read more

How much time has actually passed, no one can truly tell. Around that localized water hole, the terrain now looks like a violent impact crater. Massive, jagged chunks of earth have been violently ripped from the ground, pointing up toward the sky like broken teeth. Every trace of vibrant green has been entirely wiped out … Read more

Taglia and Makisa are in the western borders of Royal City. This jungle closely resembles an Amazonian tropical rainforest—dense, oppressive groves and towering, ancient trees with vines so massive they look like standalone trunks. Unlike the forest on the East Side, this environment is damp, muddy, and wildly overgrown. Sunlight only manages to pierce the … Read more
