Right after the notification came Kriel suddenly pain lanced through his mind as ancient memories flooded his consciousness. The void corruption that had been spreading through his body reached 50%, and with it came something unexpected—knowledge buried in the very fabric of the void itself.

He saw them then—the world before the System. Before the marks. Before everything.
In the beginning it was pitch black, but
only the Creator, Halos God of the Light and Power existed.From nothingness, Halos brought forth the worlds, crafting them with precision and beauty. But Halos vanished, leaving behind only the Eternals and the worlds they had created. The reason for their disappearance remained a mystery, lost to the sands of time.
The Eternals his creations were divided into two factions after his disappearance.The Order and the Chaos. The Order sought to impose structure and balance, while the Chaos faction believed in freedom and the untamed power of the universe.
At the heart of these factions were two siblings: Valieth, the leader of the Chaos faction, and Aetheraea, the leader of the Order faction. They were once close, but their differing beliefs drove them apart.
"What the fuck this is?!!!" Kriel shouted, dumbfounded by what he was witnessing so vividly

He watched through ancient eyes as the first cracks appeared in reality. Wild magic grew unstable, tearing holes between dimensions. The Eternals argued in voices that shook the foundations of existence.
"The power must be contained," Aetheraea declared, her form a cascade of burning light.
"To chain it is to kill it," Valieth countered, darkness swirling within his radiance. "Magic is meant to be free."
Kriel's memories were fragmented, but he sensed a great battle had reshaped the world. The System was forged, and with it, the marks that bound power to flesh.
But the Void Harbingers did not surrender. They dove deeper into chaos, embracing corruption to fight the System's rigid control. They became the void, a force that sought to undermine the System's authority.

He looked down at his arms, seeing the corruption in a new light. The dark veins weren't destroying him—they were remaking him, returning him to something older than the System itself.
"I see it was enough to give me an idea of what's actually going on," he whispered, void energy coiling around him like a living thing. "We were never meant to be bound."

Standing in the ancient ruins, Kriel felt the weight of inherited purpose. He wasn't just fighting the System—he was continuing a war that had begun at the dawn of civilization.
And this time, chaos would not be so easily chained.
As he pondered his next move, a group of patrol members approached, their marks glowing with determination.
"Kriel, you're scum a devil," one of them declared. "It's time to put an end to this we'll put u down like the dog u are."
Kriel smiled, his eyes gleaming with void energy. "You think you can stop me? I've just begun with breaking down your world and your precious system!."
With a single, swift motion, he dispatched the first patrol member, his strength amplified by the void. The others charged, but Kriel was a whirlwind of void-corrupted power, taking them down with swift efficiency.

The sound of clashing steel and the scent of ozone filled the air as Kriel fought. Each strike was precise, each movement fluid, like a choreographed dance of death.
"You're not even human anymore?!! how can a child be this horrifying you bastard," one of the patrol members spat, fear creeping into his voice.
"I never was fool," Kriel replied, his voice low and menacing. "I'm the future. And you're just relics of a dying system so die."
As the battle raged on, Kriel's void energy surged, amplifying his strength and speed. He was unstoppable, a force of nature that left destruction in his wake.
The last patrol member fell headless as the walls were painted red, Kriel then stood victorious, his chest heaving with exertion. The void energy still swirled around him, a living thing that seemed to pulse with his heartbeat.
"I somewhat have an understanding of this power but I don't know enough," he said, his voice barely audible over the wind. "I'll destroy this system."
As he stood there, a distant rumble echoed through the landscape. The ground trembled, and the sky darkened. Another battle was coming, one that would test his newfound powers and push him further down the path of chaos.
"You see, I've learned something," Kriel said to himself, his voice echoing in the desolate landscape. "The void isn't just power—it's freedom. And I'll show them all what that means."
The air seemed to thicken with anticipation as Kriel prepared for the next confrontation. His eyes gleamed with a fierce determination, a resolve that would not be shaken.
"I am the storm," he declared loudly, his voice carrying across the ruins. "And I will not be silenced."
As he spoke, a figure emerged from the shadows—a hunter with no visible marks.
"You're quite the legend inherenting the mantle of a Void walker you escaped the Captain the same way you escaped me".he spoke confidently smiling
"My name is Zero peasant bow before me.I'm a Mark King apprentice..
killing you would help me with m, gain the power to forward up the ladder. Zero the Monarch has a good sound to it!! .If you bow down I might consider killing you painlessly".
Zero said with overwhelming arrogance.
Kriel bust out laughing
Kriel, the hunter said, his voice calm and collected. "But legends are meant to be broken."
Kriel smiled, his eyes flashing with void energy. "Then break me, if you can."
The hunter charged, their movements swift and deadly. But Kriel was ready, his void powers surging to meet the challenge.

The battle raged on, with Kriel and the hunter exchanging blows that shook the very foundations of the mines.The outcome was certain, but one thing was clear: only one of them would walk away.
But before the hunter could react his head went flying severed by Kriel's Void Wings.
The Hunter's final words "Lord Ze..nit..h".
Kriel smiled with an evil grin, and said Zenith come.... I'll give you your student's head.
