Chapter 51: The Graveyard of the Forgotten
"Domain Expansion: Graveyard of the Forgotten."
The world instantly turned grey. It seemed to have died.
The balcony, the World Tree, the burning city, they all vanished in a ripple of cold, colourless distortion.
Damien found himself standing in an endless, twilight wasteland filled with millions of crooked tombstones stretching to the horizon.
The air was cold enough to freeze mana in his veins. The gravity here felt wrong, heavy, smelling of rot and absolute despair.
[System Alert!] [You have entered a 7th-Order Domain.] [Warning: User stats reduced by 50%. Mana regeneration halted.] [Warning: Golden Dragon Aura is being suppressed.] [Survival Chance: 0%.]
"Zero percent," Damien laughed bitterly, spitting a clot of blood onto the grey dirt. "Honest system."
Charron floated above the tombstones, his form growing larger, more monstrous.
In his Domain, he wasn’t just a Lich. He was a God of Death.
The damage Damien had inflicted, the shattered jaw, the broken ribs, healed instantly as the gravestones around him pulsed with grey light.
"You fought well, child," Charron’s voice boomed, echoing from everywhere at once.
"You have power that defies logic. But a candle cannot burn in a vacuum."
