CREATION… There are three realms of might known to it—the Earth-Realm, Sky-Realm, and Heavenly-Realm. Four stages exist within each realm, and every created being must advance through each one with equal fairness to reach the highest attainable level… The Heavenly Realm!

Or so it was believed…

Privy to only the most privileged, was the knowledge of an ancient—unproven rumor. One that ran amok within the gatherings of the higher entities of the universe; the searing Seraphs, the arrogant Empyreans, and the lofty Celestials. A rumor that spoke of a fourth and final realm!

Inconceivable!

Or so they thought…

A deviant emerged. One backed up by Heaven's radiance. And whether coincidentally or not, his very name echoed this truth.

This is the tale of how the history of the universe was rewritten.

Rise of The Holy-Realm Rebel

I experienced several things as a result of that occurrence, but none was as overwhelming as the ringing in my ears.

The ringing sound; which could only be compared to hearing the sound of a thousand swords clashing at point-blank, continued with incessant intensity, making me wish I were deaf in the mere seconds that it played out.

I tried to push myself to my feet, but my world spun. What was even happening? I had suffered no injury from the event, so why was its effect that strong?

Well, it didn't take me a long time to understand why.

Eiko's Solarin had still been inside me when that burst of power occurred. As a result, my very pathways had suffered, and soon paralyzing pain seeped into my consciousness, and I voiced a guttural cry, originating from the depths of my very being.

My roar of agony shattered the serenity of the night and instead generated an atmosphere of urgency and severity.
