MidGard

In 2030, humanity faced its first true collapse…not by war, but by the sudden invasion of Nightcrawlers, creatures emerging from darkness itself with the desire to devour sunlight at all cost for their evolution.
But, they could not absorb it directly since it was as deadly to them as to a shadow under the noonday sun. They could only absorb the sunlight from lifeforms or through signing a nocturnal contract to possess their bodies, providing them with direct sunlight immunity.

Within twelve hours, over four billion people perished as Earth was split between eternal night and day.

Just as extinction loomed, Holy Light Pillars descended from the heavens, purging one thousand cities from Nightcrawlers and offering humanity sanctuary under their divine light.

A century later, in the Heliodor Region, an innocent child found his world turned upside down after two mysterious nightcrawlers invaded his home, slaughtered his parents, and ripped his eyes out of their sockets, leaving him permanently connected to the Shadow Dimension, the home ground of Nightcrawlers.

Was it just a random feeding session for them, a planned assassination, or it goes deeper than this?

The Glorious Evolution

Following Instructor Seraphis' order, Arthur and nine more candidates walked towards the ten doors. Some were nervous, some were focused, and some were chilled. A few candidates had prepared for this trial for years in advance.

The moment Arthur stepped inside the first section, the door closed behind him, and he was introduced to a small room with four walls illuminated by a single bioluminescent crystal.

All the walls started to glow faintly with mysterious IIthorien runes, appearing like they were holding hands and dancing before Arthur.

But this wasn't part of the trial as it was happening only to Arthur, who was suffering from visual dyslexia.

'Damn it, can you not... just once?' Arthur murmured in his mind, feeling his eyes shifting and losing focus.

He blinked hard and then read the first phrase in his sight.

'Va'therin os ulm'ka...' The letters warped... Vλ'τheɿiи oƨ uʟɯ'ҡa.
