The Seven Primordial Shards were the remnants of ancient godly beings that lived in the 'World Beyond' millions of years ago. These Shards carried within them immense power and anyone who got their hands on them was destined to rise above and beyond anyone else.


Wars raged amongst all the races for these Seven Shards across thousands of years. Countless souls died and blood was shed. Till the age of peace arrived and four of these Shards were finally captured by four different factions. Meanwhile, the last three vanished... Nowhere to be seen.

Malice was a slum boy living his life like many others, in complete mediocrity. He had no hopes, dreams, or anything useless like ambition. He simply sought to survive every single day and find a place where he could finally rest all his worries.


Till, one day, in a miraculous way, he found himself standing in front of a divine shard. An instance, unbeknownst to him, was going to change his fate and the fate of the entire world with him.

The rest of the day passed normally. Malice trained, studied, practiced his fire technique, and did everything else as if it were a normal day. He tried to keep his mind occupied not to think about that night.

He realized that if he focused on work, his worry would vanish for a while. He had learned to do that when he was a kid, focusing on robbing rich individuals while ignoring the fact that he was extremely hungry and might very well die that day if he didn't get food.

However, even that didn't help the passage of time and the nearing hour of the Ball. What was perhaps a fun event, was just a ticking time bomb for Malice.

Whether it was going to explode or not… Only time will tell.
