In the Orc Village, Midoki, Elyra and Durin come across a young Orc named Throk. His appearance reveals his uniqueness as an Orc-Human Hybrid. Throk, initially wary, realizes that the visitors do not pose an immediate threat.
As they talk to Throk, they discover that his origins are the result of a rare union between an Orc and a Human, a story marked by challenges and acceptance. Throk shares his experiences, revealing the internal conflict he experiences due to being different from the other Orcs.
Sympathetic to Throk's journey, the heroes decide to help him find his place in the village, but soon face an impenetrable barrier of prejudice and distrust. Midoki, Elyra and Durin try in vain to convince the Orcs to accept Throk, but their words fall on deaf ears. The Orc Village, hardened by centuries of distrust and hatred, refuses to see Throk as anything other than a freak.
The environment becomes increasingly hostile, and the hope of inclusion begins to fade. What could have been a story of acceptance and unity becomes a painful reminder of the depths of intolerance.
As Midoki and his companions set out to continue their journey, bearing the scars of their failure, Throk, scarred by rejection, retreats into seclusion to hone his unique skill. Midoki follows him.
- Midoki: "Throk, do not let the rejection of the Orcs define you. You are strong, more than you know. Together, we will find your place in the world, where you will be accepted for who you truly are."
- Throk: "You speak as if you understand, Midoki... but you will never understand. You are a prince, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, of the Kingdom of Lior. You have never known true pain, never had to fight to survive, never been treated like a monster. I have been rejected since birth, and now, even with everything I have done, nothing has changed."
[At this moment, Midoki's gaze darkens, and a fragmented memory appears in his mind: a scene from one of his past reincarnations. He was just a baby, his cries echoing like thunder, cracking walls and shaking the world around him. His mother, her face contorted with fear and hatred, held a dagger. She said that she could not love something so destructive, something that did not even seem human. And then, the blade descended, cutting deeply...]
- Midoki: "We all carry scars, Throk. It does not matter if you were born in a castle or a hut. Pain is something inevitable. What matters is what we do with that pain. You can let it destroy you, or you can use it to become stronger." - His voice firm, but with a silent pain permeating each word.
- Throk: " ... "
Then, as noon strikes, Throk's fury explodes, transforming his body drastically. He becomes incredibly handsome, with long, golden hair, a completely human appearance, and a tall, strong, and robust body.
However, he goes completely out of control and attacks Midoki with such force that, for the first time, he makes the protagonist bleed. This forces Midoki to activate the Law of Potentialism - Polarity, to mitigate the effects of the Rage spiritual technique and the Sunrise spiritual ability. Midoki then strikes Throk and knocks him out with a single blow.
- Throk: "Midoki, do you think I will ever be accepted by everyone in the village? Or will I always be an outsider among my own people?"
Midoki looked at Throk, his expression serene and full of understanding. He knew that Throk's transformation was something that many Orcs, with their deep-rooted traditions and beliefs, had difficulty accepting.
- Midoki: "Throk, acceptance is not something that is easily achieved. There are those who fear what they do not understand, and also those who understand and therefore fear it. This is a battle that may take time, or may never be won."
- Throk: "Midoki, if it is possible... I would like to leave with you. Perhaps there is a place in this world where I can find my true self, where I can be accepted for who I am, without the shadow of the past weighing me down."
- Midoki: "But of course you can come with me. That was always the idea, wasn't it?"
As the sun reaches its peak at noon, Throk experiences an impressive increase in his power, manifesting the fullness of his Sunrise ability. The Eternal Sun radiates intensely, and Throk, now able to control this energy in a balanced way, becomes a symbol of hope for the young man.
And so, Throk prepared to leave the village, not as a deserter, but as someone in search of a new destiny, alongside Midoki, who accepted him completely, without reservations. Together, Midoki, Elyra, Durin and Throk continue their journey, facing challenges and spreading the message of unity and understanding wherever they go.
With Throk now integrated into the group, Midoki, Elyra, Durin and Throk face the imminent challenge of the Cyclops. The group sets off towards the Deserted Plains - Rift, where the Primal Cyclops has awakened. The path is arduous, but the group's determination remains unshakable.
Upon reaching the plains, they are met with a majestic landscape dominated by the imposing presence of Cyclops. For some reason, a small amount of Shinrei energy emanates from one of Midoki's fingers. As this happens, Cyclops begins to move, emerging from within the crack. The ground shakes with each step of the colossal being, and the aura of power emanating from him is overwhelming.
The group prepares for the confrontation, uniting their newly honed abilities. Throk, now armed with the techniques of the Sunrise ability, shines brightly, offering a striking contrast to the darkness that surrounds the Cyclops. Elyra, with her Plant Manipulation and Divine Healing techniques, assumes the role of support, while Durin uses his four elements to create tactical strategies. Midoki, with his Geika no Shinrei, anticipates the Cyclops' movements, looking for gaps in his massive defense. The epic battle unfolds, with the group demonstrating impressive synchrony in the face of the imminent threat. The confrontation with the Cyclops becomes an ultimate test of the group's strength and unity, as they face an enemy whose power and imposingness defy all expectations. Midoki's strike charged with the Yoroi of the Shinrei slices through the air, while Midoki, using his Kanchi of the Shinrei, anticipates the Cyclops' imposing movements and lands a powerful blow, but it has no effect. Then, Midoki prepares himself again and this time uses the Law of Cosmicism - Repulsion [White Hole] in conjunction with the Law of Originalism - Destruction, imbued in his Katana.
However, at a crucial moment, a rift in time and space manifests itself, surprising everyone. Midoki, despite his exceptional skill, finds himself facing a force beyond his comprehension. The blow intended for Cyclops instead hits Midoki, resulting in a devastating impact.
The fallen hero, his body immersed in light, leaves a void in the group. Elyra, Durin and Throk look on in astonishment at the unexpected event. Midoki's fate remains uncertain, and the battle against Cyclops reaches a brief moment of "pause", with the loss felt deeply by the group.
The story takes an unexpected turn, leaving questions in the air and conflicting feelings in the hearts of the survivors. Midoki's sacrifice echoes as a reminder of the unpredictability of the path that lies ahead, as the group faces the consequences of this challenging journey.
In the vastness of Limbo, Midoki finds himself enveloped in an ethereal aura, and a mysterious voice echoes around him.
- ???: "Another poor soul..." - It whispers, filled with ancient melancholy.
The darkness of Limbo seems to respond to Midoki's presence, as he finds himself in a state of transition between unknown worlds. The fate of his journey after this transcendent encounter remains shrouded in mystery.
