Unbridled Rage

{Moments Earlier}

[00 Months: 17 Days: 9 Hours]

It's so long, so I had forgotten…

… I had a dream.

In that dream, I saw a world bathed in radiant light. The landscape flourished like nothing I had ever seen before.

The flowers gave off a sweet scent, and the melodies in the air were unbelievably surreal.

... And then, in the blink of an eye, everything went into chaos.

The paradise for all became a hellscape.

The world everyone witnessed, the one they all reveled in, was easily corrupted by the power of darkness and buried under flames.

As I watched all of this happen, I was transported closer to the origin—the source of the conflict.

And there I saw a man—clad in a dark robe, like the night. The robe flowed behind him, tattered, and he had it covering his face, so I couldn't see who he was.

An intense aura was surging from him, but more importantly, he seemed to be on his knees—in despair.
