**Chapter 1 : Twilight Seekers**

"Huh… Yumina, I'm back!" Ling Tian shouted as he landed on the island where they had agreed to meet. But the place was deserted, leaving him confused. He looked around, calling out, "Yuminaaaa!"

The air was still for a moment, but then, without warning, powerful wind blades sliced through the atmosphere, aiming directly at him. Instinct kicked in, and Ling Tian swiftly dodged the attack, his reflexes honed from countless battles. His hand flew to the hilt of his sword, *Swifty*, as he drew it in one smooth motion, the blade glinting in the dim light.

He turned toward the source of the attack, just in time to see a cluster of water balls flying at him with incredible speed. With a fluid movement, Ling Tian dodged again, his body moving with the grace of a dancer. The water balls struck the ground where he had just been standing, exploding with a force that sent tremors through the earth.
