Chapter 26: The First Gate
[: 3rd POV :]
The weeks that followed Daniel’s conquest of the Sky Archipelago were marked by a growing sense of detachment.
His quest for power had grown insatiable, driven by an unyielding hunger for more, yet each step forward became less easy.
Monsters fell beneath his gaze, entire species erased in the blink of an eye.
It was during one such hunt that Daniel stood at the edge of a darkened valley, the landscape twisted into a terrifying, jagged expanse of razor-sharp stone and molten fissures.
Here, the earth roared with fury, and the very air shimmered with unnatural heat.
Below him, a group of formidable creatures had gathered, their forms outlined in the dim glow of lava.
