"What? No prince here too?"
The golden mountain of the legends shook violently as a man kicked in frustration.
This was the seclusion grounds of a genius prince, one of the few bestowed with a number.
The 363rd prince.
A powerful high rank 1 in just a few thousand years, he's garnered a great reputation during his ascent.
With exquisite control over gravity, he was touted as the top ten in the sub-rank by many.
As with all ranked princes and princesses, he was given the sliver shard once he passed the ranking trial.
"Sliver shard…" Varian clenched his fists and looked down at the golden island floating in the chaotic inner space with a frustrated expression.
This was his fourth hunt of the ranked princes this week and like the first three, this too ended in failure, not because he was weak and got defeated, but because he didn't even find the target!
"How am I supposed to get any shards if they all just disappear?"
