Throne of the Unbound

The heavens trembled. The earth wept. The very essence of reality bent beneath his presence. Shree Yan stood at the edge of all things—where life, death, and time itself held no meaning.

His white hair, flowing like the final remnants of a dying star, caught the cold, eternal wind. His crimson eyes, burning with the wisdom of countless lifetimes, peered into the abyss—not with fear, nor with curiosity, but with the certainty of one who commands it.

He had consumed everything in his path. The weak, the strong, the foolish, the wise. Kingdoms had fallen at his feet, their rulers reduced to mere echoes in the annals of time. His enemies had thought themselves capable of resisting him, of challenging his supremacy, of stopping the inevitable rise of the immortal king.

But they had all perished.

And now, as the last vestiges of the mortal world crumbled behind him, Shree Yan turned his gaze to the final challenge—the throne of the unbound.

A place beyond the known universe. A seat of power that no god, no spirit, no being had ever claimed. A throne that could only be occupied by one who had transcended all things.

He stepped forward, his presence alone causing the void to crack.

The abyss itself resisted him, as if refusing to acknowledge his dominion. The shadows writhed, the stars flickered, and the echoes of ancient voices whispered warnings.

"This place is not meant for mortals."

"Turn back, O Seeker of Eternity, lest you become nothing."

"No being has ever claimed the Throne of the Unbound."

But Shree Yan did not falter. He did not fear the warnings, for he was beyond such trivial things. He had no past to haunt him. No morality to hold him back. No hesitation in his steps.

He reached the throne.

A construct of pure, unshaped existence—formed from the remnants of dead realities, forged in the void between worlds. It pulsed with an energy beyond comprehension, neither light nor darkness, neither order nor chaos. It simply was.

And then, something changed.

The void shuddered. The silence was broken.

From the depths of the abyss, a force unlike any other emerged.

A voice, ancient and boundless, filled the infinite space.

"You seek to claim what even the gods fear?"

Shree Yan did not answer. He did not need to.

The voice laughed—a soundless, shattering tremor across existence.

"Then prove yourself, O Immortal King. Show that you are worthy of the Throne of the Unbound."

The void erupted.

A force beyond reality surged toward him, a test that would obliterate any lesser being.

But Shree Yan did not retreat. He did not raise a defense. He did not fear destruction.

He stepped forward.

And with that single step, the universe itself had no choice but to bow.
