Synopsis

Prologue

The world is like a burning candle that may snuff out at any moment. You can see that the other half of it is missing, and the remaining part is on the brink of collapse.

It is like an egg that was sliced in a perfect half where you can see its burning core. The thing is the other half is not even there to begin with, or you can tell that it was erased, including the people and living beings as well.

Slowly but surely, the other half is disintegrating into pieces due to a cataclysmic depressurization of the inner earth that is exposed to the vacuum of space.

Volcanic explosions and earthquakes are like a surging sea of despair to the people who are alive. Many places and people can be seen in bedlam and soon to be replaced by a sea of fire.

All of these happened after detecting a tremendous amount of magic that was used. It immediately triggered chain reactions to the whole world, and many government officials and military bases had lost their contact with other parts of the world.

---------------------------------------------------

A stocky man is floating in the space near the earth, he looked like a middle-aged man, but the aura of profoundness around him seems like an old towering mountain that cannot be shaken.

Floating around space without a spacesuit is so deadly, even if you are a magician. The radiation that the sun emits is harmful, and if you try to breathe in space, your lungs will collapse because there is no air and air pressure. Yet, the man does not breathe at all, and he is ignoring the radiation.

The man didn't plan to go to space, but there is something that is calling to him. Despite being in a very perplex state, his very person was forced to go to where he is right now.

He seems calm on the outside, but his thoughts are in a state of confusion and panic. The look on his eyes says that he lacks someone so important to him, and without that, someone, he might as well die. Except his self-defensive mechanism is preventing him from killing himself and repeatedly restoring him to the peak condition.

The contradictory of himself and his superior defensive mechanism is making him rabid. Perhaps, because of the only remaining emotion or affection has been taken off him. He only thinks that the world took everything from him, and he needs to destroy everything of it.

Because of the madness that engulf his whole person; he pointed his finger to the massive blue earth beneath him to destroy the cause of his suffering. His index finger shone with marvellous light; it looks like a silver that shines through any darkness, a view that illuminated the darkness of the space. The light didn't pass through to the earth beneath him; instead, it transformed into motes of light that scattered into space. At the same time, the other half of the planet also turned into a million speck of lights, like fireflies flying into oblivion. The intent of such action is to destroy the whole world, but maybe because of the state he is in right now, the man just used the overwhelming magic blindly to the target.

The man does not know what he had done; he only wants to destroy or vent his only feeling to the world that took everything from him. Even if he does know that he killed billions of the people, still he will not care, the only important to him and the most precious to him is his wife.

------

It only took seconds before the remaining half exploded to bits in the outer space, the explosion blasted the nearby asteroids, and the moon was reduced to pieces because of the shockwave.

The man that caused all this is was also blown up to pieces. The only remaining of him is a large residue of magic that was used by him.

Rubbles of what earth was made became a strewn out debris that floated endlessly in this dark, cold space.
