Ouroborous

In a world caught between ancient traditions and futuristic wonders, two souls defy fate, time, and the gods themselves. He was her king; she was his queen. Their love was boundless, transcending life and death. But when betrayal and despair tore them apart, their lives ended in a crimson tragedy—only for their story to begin anew.

Reincarnated into the “Neo-Ancient Era,” where towering mega-cities and spiritual cultivation collide, the two are reborn with the power to challenge destiny. He awakens with an unyielding vow: to find her across realms, universes, and timelines—even if it means shattering the heavens themselves. She, a forgotten goddess trapped in the cycle of mortal rebirth, holds the key to their ascension beyond existence.

Guided by a mysterious system of power and destiny, they will traverse chaotic battlefields, unlock lost legacies, and defy cosmic hierarchies. With ancient weapons infused with futuristic technology, unrivaled cultivation paths, and an eternal bond forged through suffering, their journey will push the limits of creation itself.

But the question remains: what lies beyond the beyond? As they rise to become the most powerful beings to ever exist, their love and resolve will be tested by jealous gods, hidden enemies, and the secrets of existence itself.

This is not just a story of power. It’s a tale of love, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of something greater than eternity.

The Search Beyong Existence

The first wave of Remnants descended upon them like a living tide of nightmares. Their twisted limbs moved unnaturally, their hollow mouths stretching wide in silent screams.

Eliam was the first to strike. His sword cut through the air in a golden arc, slicing through the nearest creature with divine precision. The Remnant disintegrated into black mist, but two more surged forward to take its place.

Seraphine didn't hesitate. She thrust her hand forward, the markings on her arm pulsing as tendrils of dark energy lashed out, striking three Remnants at once. They convulsed violently before collapsing into heaps of shadow.

The Forsaken One stood at the throne, watching with unsettling calm.

Valen moved like a ghost through the battlefield, his daggers finding their mark with deadly efficiency. But the Remnants didn't bleed. Every time they fell, their forms wavered, trying to pull themselves back together.

"These things won't stay down for long!" he called out.

Eliam grimaced, parrying another attack.

Seraphine clenched her fists. She could feel the Hollow One's power surging inside her, whispering temptations in her mind. Use it.

She had seen what unchecked power could do. She wouldn't let it consume her.

She turned her gaze to the Forsaken One. "If you know so much, then help us!"

The ancient being's eyes glowed with eerie amusement. "This is your trial, child. Only those who conquer the Hollow Path may walk it."

Seraphine gritted her teeth. If this was a test, then she would pass it on her own terms.

A new wave of Remnants surged forward, and this time, Seraphine didn't just attack-she controlled.

She reached deep into the markings on her arm, focusing her energy with precision.

Instead of simply destroying the Remnants, she seized them.

The creatures froze mid-charge, their writhing forms caught in an unseen grip.

Eliam's eyes widened. "What are you ?"

Seraphine inhaled sharply and twisted her fingers. The Remnants shuddered before collapsing into dust.

Valen whistled. "Remind me not to make you angry."

The chamber trembled again. The last of the Remnants had fallen, but something else was shifting.

The Forsaken One nodded approvingly. "You are beginning to understand."

The throne behind him cracked. The walls pulsed with an ominous glow.

Then, with a deep rumbling sound, the ground before them split open.

A staircase, descending into endless darkness.

Eliam wiped the sweat from his brow. "| take it that's the next part of this so-called trial?"

The Forsaken One gestured toward the stairs. "The Hollow Path does not end here. Deeper truths await."

Valen shot Seraphine a glance. "I hate to ask this, but... are we actually going down there?"

Seraphine didn't answer immediately.

The power she had used just now-it hadn't felt foreign. It had felt natural.

Like it had always been a part of her.

She looked at the Forsaken One. "What happens if we keep going?"

The ancient being tilted its head. "You will either emerge stronger... or you will not emerge at all."

Eliam sheathed his sword with a sigh. "We've come this far."

Seraphine glanced at Valen. He muttered something under his breath before nodding.

"Fine. But if I see anything with more than six limbs, I'm turning around."

With one last look at the ruined chamber, they stepped forward.
