Cry Of The River

An Imperial Scholar by day. An assassin by night. The World of Cultivation has changed. Elemental Mancers. Flux Mancers. Spirit Mancers. Soul Mancers. Raining down fire and splitting oceans. Destroying mountains with a single stomp and calming skies with a glance. Controlling the tides of Karma, while wielding the souls of others like a puppeteer tugging on the Lines of Fate. The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down. His family, his rage, his somber sadness becoming nothing more than Bad Karma's fuel for a madman. He was once a gentle young man, a non-combative Water Mancer who wanted nothing more than to read his novels to the sound of the rain and one day become an Imperial Scholar. But now... Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night.

You know, life is short. But it is also more vast than we could ever imagine. We’re all just simply on a ship alone against the waves of a river with no end in sight, and that… Scares us. Stuck in the riptide, we have no choice but to paddle forward. And yet, as humans, we look for a way out. So instead we paddle right and end up down someone else’s river. It’s empty though, cause they did the same thing you did. Once in a while you’ll find some who paddled left instead of right. Or those who desperately try to paddle back and end up nowhere. But you always end up back on your own river. You may be wondering what I’m trying to say here. The point is, nobody will be there to help you steer your own boat, cause everyone has their own boat to steer. Lonely, isn’t it? But, “there is no absolutely desperate situation in this world. There were only people who despair.” A great poet said that. This is a story of a boy who was afraid of despair. A tale of the 8 sins he committed that brought the world to despair in his place. And the three heads of a lone dragon.

For centuries, the Veil has stood as the final barrier between the world of the living and the infernal depths of Hell. Forged in forgotten ages, sealed in blood and bone, it has withstood the rise of darkness—but now it is breaking. Cracks spread through its foundation. Shadows seep through the fractures. Cities burn. Kingdoms fall. And the Guardians of the Veil—sworn to keep the world from ruin—stand alone against the tide of annihilation. At their head stands Nyroth Solvain, leader of the Guardians and the last shield between order and oblivion. His strength has held the darkness at bay for years. His blade has never failed. His will has never faltered. But now, another force begins to rise. His son. Elian Solvain, young and untested, carries within him power vast enough to shift the tide of war—or break it entirely. The world looks to him as a symbol of hope. The Guardians believe he may be their greatest weapon. And so does Nyroth. He does not doubt his son. He does not question his potential. He sees the strength in him, the light that could lead them all. But he has seen power like this before—raw, untamed, and capable of reshaping the world in both creation and ruin. Nyroth does not voice his fear. He does not waver. Instead, he hardens himself, shaping Elian into what he must become. Because if Elian does not master his power… it will master him. The Veil is dying. The darkness is rising. And time is running out. Elian must stand. The Guardians must hold. Or the world will fall into ash and ruin.
