Chapter 5 – The First Command

Kael sat upon the Abyssal Throne, his crimson eyes flickering with an eerie glow. Power coursed through his veins, raw and intoxicating. The once-hostile abyssal mist now swirled around him like a protective cloak, bending to his will.

The wraith, now bound in crimson chains, kneeled before him. Its form flickered, resisting, but the throne's authority was absolute.

[Abyssal Guardian: Bound]

[Name: ???]

[Loyalty: Unstable]

Kael's lips curled. "What is your name, specter?"

The wraith's hollow eyes burned with reluctant submission. "I… have no name. I was once a ruler, but the Abyss devoured my identity."

Kael leaned forward. "Then I will name you." His voice carried authority, resonating through the ruins. "From this day forth, you shall be Vaelros, my first servant."

The wraith trembled as the system responded.

[Name Assigned: Vaelros]

[Loyalty: Rising…]

A guttural growl rumbled through Vaelros's form. The struggle against Kael's dominance was fierce, but the chains tightened. Submission was inevitable.

Kael stood, stepping down from the throne. "Tell me, Vaelros. What remains of this ruined domain?"

The wraith's voice was strained but obedient. "Shadows and echoes, my lord. The Abyss was sealed away long ago… but fragments still linger. If you seek power, you must reclaim them."

Kael's smirk deepened. An empire lost to time… waiting to be revived.

His conquest had only just begun.
