The night shrouded the abandoned factory, its rusted steel structures casting sinister shadows under the dim glow of scattered light sources. The air was thick with dampness and the scent of machine oil, the silence so deep that it felt as though this world had long been forgotten.
I stood amidst a pile of broken machinery, my gaze fixed on the Son of the Night—the enigmatic figure who had rescued me from the black market and brought me here. Yet, his true purpose remained a mystery.
"Seeking the truth of the Rift?" I murmured, my eyes sharp as I stared at him. "What exactly do you want me to do?"
The Son of the Night let out a faint smile and slowly turned to face me. His black coat swayed slightly in the cold night breeze, and on his hand, the glow of Rift runes pulsed faintly.
