Alex and Ben were inseparable. From childhood to adolescence, the two boys did everything together, sharing their dreams, adventures, and secrets. Best friends, they promised each other they would face anything that came their way—together.
But everything changed when Ben began having strange and unsettling dreams. In his sleep, he saw visions of a powerful group of evil knights sealed away for billions of years, imprisoned by some ancient magic. Their leader, a malevolent force unlike anything the world had seen, had the ability to control minds and distort truth. In the depths of these dreams, the dark knight revealed a hidden truth to Ben: everything he knew was a lie.
The knight whispered of ancient beings, friends of his, who were wrongfully sealed away and betrayed by the world. He told Ben that if he wanted to uncover the truth, he would need to unlock the power of the Cosmic Force—an ancient group of nine powerful individuals. To free the knights, Ben would have to anger the Cosmic Force, provoking them into unleashing their full might.
When Ben awoke from his dreams, something inside him had shifted. His heart felt heavy, clouded with confusion and doubt. He no longer wanted to talk to Alex, avoiding him at every chance. Then, the worst possible news arrived. Alex's grandfather, a wise man who had often told them stories of legends, including the Cosmic Force, had passed away.
Alex was devastated. His grandfather had been his hero, and his stories of the mysterious Cosmic Force had filled Alex's childhood with wonder. But what hurt Alex most was that Ben, his best friend, didn't come to the funeral. They had promised each other long ago that no matter what happened, they would stand by each other in times of loss. Alex waited, hoping for Ben to appear, but he never came.
Heartbroken, Alex sought Ben out, confronting him about his absence. When they met, something was wrong. Ben's eyes had lost their warmth, and his words carried an unfamiliar edge. He explained that someone, someone powerful, had ordered him to seek out the Cosmic Force and extract their powers. With the abilities of all nine members, Ben said he could free his new "friends"—the knights from his dreams.
Alex was stunned. This wasn't the Ben he knew. His best friend, once kind and loyal, now spoke of freeing ancient evildoers and wielding immense power. A growing darkness loomed over Ben, and Alex knew something sinister had taken hold of him.
The next morning, Alex awoke to find Ben gone. His best friend had vanished, leaving no trace of where he went. But Alex knew exactly where he was headed—to find the Cosmic Force and unleash their powers.
In his grief, Alex recalled his grandfather's stories about the Cosmic Force: nine beings with extraordinary abilities, each representing an element of existence itself—shadow, end, sand, reality, magic, lightning, creation, time, and the moon. These individuals had once fought to protect the world, but now, they were scattered, hidden, and forgotten by most.
Determined to stop Ben and honor his grandfather's memory, Alex set out on a journey of his own. He swore to find the Cosmic Force before Ben could, not to exploit their powers but to seek their help in stopping whatever evil had corrupted his friend.
With each passing day, the distance between Alex and Ben grew. Two best friends, now on opposite paths—one driven by a mysterious force of darkness, the other by a desperate desire to save him.
As Alex ventured further from the Kingdom of Folk, he vowed he would not return until he had found all nine members of the Cosmic Force. And though their friendship had been torn apart, Alex held onto a single hope that he could bring Ben back from the edge before it was too late
