Nyxia: The Last Guardian of Vyāpti

Episode 1: Awakening in the Flames

The night smelled of smoke.

Nyxia coughed as she lay on the ground, her body aching, her vision blurred. The once-familiar streets of her village were now a nightmare—flames crackled through the wooden houses, and the air was thick with the sounds of screaming. Shadows moved through the firelight, figures clad in dark robes, tearing through the village like predators hunting prey.

Her home was under attack.

"Mother… Father…" she whispered, trying to move. But her body refused to obey.

She saw them—her parents—fighting against the invaders with desperate strength. They were just ordinary people, yet they stood their ground, protecting something… protecting her.

Then, everything blurred. A flash of light. A roar of power.

And then—darkness.

A Strange, New World

When Nyxia opened her eyes again, the flames were gone. The screams had vanished.

Instead, she was lying on soft green grass. A cool breeze brushed against her face, carrying a strange sense of peace.

She sat up, heart pounding. This was not her village.

A vast, open space stretched before her—a floating land covered in greenery, surrounded by endless white mist. The sky above was like liquid silver, shifting and glowing, as if it held secrets of its own.

"Where… am I?" she murmured.

"Finally awake?"

Nyxia flinched at the voice and turned sharply.

A small, glowing creature floated before her, its round, golden body shimmering like the sun. It had big, playful eyes and a fluffy, soft form, like a tiny mythical guardian.

It grinned. "Took you long enough."

Nyxia blinked. "What… are you?"

The creature puffed up proudly. "I'm Miko, the guardian of this place. And you, little human, have just entered Vyāpti—a hidden world connected to your soul."

Nyxia stared at him, then at the vast, mystical land around her. None of this made sense.

Vyāpti? A hidden world? Why was she here?

As if reading her thoughts, Miko floated closer. "This place… it belongs to you."

Nyxia shook her head. "That's not possible. I don't even know what this place is."

Miko chuckled. "That's because no one told you the truth. But don't worry. I'll explain everything—if you're ready to listen."

The Truth Behind the Attack

Sitting on the grass, Nyxia listened as Miko told her a story.

A story about hidden families who wielded incredible power. A story about ancient artifacts that could change the fate of worlds.

And a story about her.

Her family had possessed something special—a treasure that could make even the strongest people grow stronger beyond limits. That was why the attackers had come.

But what they didn't know… was that the true treasure was not with her parents. It was with her all along.

Nyxia touched the pendant around her neck, the one she had worn her whole life.

Miko smirked. "That's no ordinary pendant, kid. It's a god-level artifact—a portable dimension that only the destined one can awaken. And guess what? That's you."

Nyxia's breath caught. She was the reason her village burned? She was the one they were after?

Her hands clenched into fists. "But my parents… where are they now?"

Miko's playful expression softened. "They're alive. They escaped—to another world, to protect you."

Nyxia's heart twisted. A mix of relief and pain filled her chest. Her parents had left to keep her safe, but they were out there, somewhere, alone.

And she was here, too weak to do anything.

But she wouldn't stay weak forever.

She met Miko's gaze. "What do I need to do?"

Miko grinned. "Now we're talking. First things first—we need to unlock your abilities. And that means training."

Nyxia exhaled, steadying herself. Her old life was gone.

But a new one had just begun.

And this time—she would become strong enough to protect the people she love.
