Orclion

Existence was divided into three realms.

The Heavenly Realm. The Earthen Realm. The Infernal Realm.

Below them, countless minor realms of all types existed, none able to match the might of any of the Three Fundamental realms.

The Celestials led the Heavenly Realm, The Immortals led the Earthen Realm and Demons led the Infernal Realm while the Rulers controlled all the minor realms.

Together, they formed The Myriad Unity and allowed peace to reign supreme.

The mortals were allowed to cultivate and reach for the Heavens as a balance was installed between the Heaven and Earth, all according to the Heaven’s Will.

And yet, among the billions of trillions of living beings within the Myriad Unity, one seemed unsatisfied.

“They are lying to us.”

This man went against all known truths and contradicted the very gods.

“We are in a false world! Mere pawns used to study an outcome!”

And so in search of freedom and truth, this man committed the ultimate taboo.

He rebelled.

The ocean of outstretched golden waters rippled, then surged into the air, as if gravity had been inverted and a spectral force pulled upon it.

The garden of bloody roses trembled, then crumbled, drawn upward into the levitating body of water.

All that remained below was a field of wet white soil.

The remains of the island and the waters of the ocean collided violently, crashing and converging into a compact, pressurized sphere that expanded and blotted out the skies.

Runes erupted across the surface of the sphere, shimmering with unstable energy as it compressed further, trembling under the immense strain.

From below, with his arms clasped behind his back, Caine watched it all unfold, his gaze void of interest and his heart free of anticipation.

The compressed sphere exploded, then rapidly expanded into a swirling portal of golden currents—majestic, regal, and imposing as it filled the skies.
