Necromancer Of The Shadows

In a dimly lit, ancient cave, a dragon was sleeping on a platform of shimmering gold and precious gems. Suddenly, the eyelids of the dragon moved slightly and it opened its deep yellow eyes.

A powerful pressure spread outwards in all directions the moment the dragon opened its eyes and the entire ancient cave started to shake. Once its eyes were fully opened, for a moment, strange runes flickered in them as if the dragon was trying to sense something.

After a moment, the dragon slowly lifted its massive head, its scales gleamed in hues of fiery red, and it looked in a certain direction.

"The fifth origin holder is finally about to appear," The dragon muttered in an indifferent voice and a look of interest flashed in its deep yellow eyes.

"I wonder what kind of change we will experience this time."

The Dragon muttered in a low voice and once again closed its eyes, returning back to its slumber.

In a faraway place, in the middle of the starry sky, stars twinkle like diamonds, casting a celestial glow upon the planets below. Expanse, galaxies swirl in a mesmerizing dance, casting ethereal hues across the star-strewn firmament.

Amid the beautiful scenery of the starry sky that could mesmerize anyone, a giant who was thousands of meters big was sleeping soundlessly, floating like an asteroid.

The Giant was bald, had a big pot belly and an innocent looking face. As the Ginat was sleeping, its nose suddenly twitched a little as if it was smelling something and it slowly opened its eyes. After waking up, the giant lifted its hand and rubbed its eyes.

When the giant lifted its hand to rub its eyes, a powerful force swept in all directions and a few asteroids and planets in an area of a few thousand kilometres turned into cosmic dust.

A look of confusion flashed in the giant's eyes when it heard the sound of explosions and it looked around it.

After looking around it for a while, the giant eyes turned heavy and it went back to sleep.

In an icy place that was surrounded by a raging snowstorm, the power of ice froze everything. The mountains, trees, rocks and even the dust were frozen under the ice.

In the middle of this snowstorm, at the edge of the region's largest frozen hill, a girl who looked around thirteen or fourteen years old was sitting with a bored look on her face.

Occasionally, bursts of cold energy were coming out of her body, increasing the power of the snowstorm.

The river that was flowing down from the hilltop of the largest hill was frozen solid and under the frozen river, some creatures who were releasing terrifying aura were shivering while looking at the little girl who was sitting at the edge of the hill.

The girl had light silver hair and her eyes were deep blue in colour. She was holding a Sheathed Sword in her hands that was slightly larger than her petty body.

Suddenly, the eyes of the girl flickered a bit and she looked in a certain direction.

Looking in that direction, the bored look on the girl's face gradually disappeared and her lips curved upwards slightly.

"Looks like the era of the chaos is about to begin once again," The girl muttered in a pleasant sounding childish voice and a look of excitement flashed in her eyes.

"We will finally be able to relieve our boredom," The girl muttered and patted the sword she was holding.

Wrrr!!

When the sword heard the girl's words, it started to shake in excitement and a sharp aura that cut through the icy storm and even penetrated the void erupted from it.

The creatures who were frozen under the ice were shredded into dust when they came into contact with the sharp aura of the sword and their life force instantly disappeared.

The girl did not care about the sharp aura that was coming out of the sword and just smiled slightly and continued to look in a certain direction.

In a dark place that was filled with dense Eldritch Energy, a man was sitting on a stone platform.

The man had a cold look on his face and two horns were coming out from the top of his head. The eyes of the man were deep black in colour with hints of purple in them. A sinister aura that made people's souls shudder was coming out from his body and the surroundings of the man were completely corroded.

Similar to other people, the man also suddenly sensed something and looked in a certain direction with an indifferent look on his face.

After looking in that direction for a few seconds, the man returned back to his previous posture without showing any kind of change in his expression as if he didn't care about the thing that he had sensed a moment ago.

(The Rune Of Origin has been Activated)

Inside the Core Evolution Room, Evan looked at the notification with a stunned expression on his face. It was the first time he had seen anything about the Rune Of Origin so he didn't immediately understand what was happening.

He dropped the dimensional creation charm that he was holding and tore the shirt he was wearing to look at the Rune that was engraved on his chest.

When he looked at the Rune, a look of utter surprise flashed on Evan's face because he noticed that for the first time since the Rune was enraged on his chest, the second part of the Rune of shining brightly.

Evan was shocked when he saw the second part of the Rune was shining and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"It seems this second Rune can help me evolve my Monarch Core," Evan muttered in a joyful voice. But his joy didn't last long because just after a few seconds...

... Crack

He heard a sound of cracking.

"Arggh," A painful scream escaped from Evan's mouth and his Monarch Core started to break.
