A thousand years ago, the Great Calamity struck Earth. Countless rifts tore through reality, opening portals between the Demon Realm and the Human World. Overrun by monsters, humanity was on the brink of extinction. But at its darkest hour, something miraculous happened—those who died returned, awakening strange new powers that allowed them to fight back.

Vale knew that story well. Maybe that's why he wasn't surprised when he heard the voice of the system speak to him.

[ Congratulations! You have died. ]
[ Your First Trial of Death begins now. ]

Vale turned just in time to see Sir Tyne lunging at him, dagger in hand, his face twisted with resentment. The Courtroom's stale air seemed to tighten around them, every breath heavy with tension. He shifted, sidestepping at the last second, angling the mana-suppressing cuffs to deflect the strike. The clang of metal echoed sharply. Sir Tyne stumbled, crashing onto the Courtroom floor with a heavy thud that resonated through the silent chamber.

Guards surged forward as the lead judge rose sharply from his seat, eyes blazing with authority. "Seize him!" the judge commanded, pointing at Sir Tyne. "Drag him out before he—" His voice cut off abruptly, swallowed by chaos.

Sir Tyne sprang back to his feet, spittle flying from his lips in furious bursts. "He's a monster! He killed—" The guards slammed into him, dragging him bodily from the chamber. His screams echoed even as the doors slammed shut behind him, a haunting reminder of the fury barely contained.
