A Presence Beyond the Stars
For thousands of years… something drifted in the endless silence of space.
Not burning.
Not fading.
Waiting.
It was not a meteor.
It was not a comet.
It was a spell.
A spell that carried no visible power… yet held something far more unnatural—
a presence beyond power itself.
A soul.
Ancient.
Unknown.
Unbound.
And now…
it had chosen it's destination — "Earth".
The Day the Sky Changed
The sky trembled.
Light spread across the horizon like a divine crack splitting the heavens apart. A golden radiance poured down, covering the world in an otherworldly glow.
People stopped.
Cities froze.
Breaths were stolen.
Phones rose into the air… capturing the impossible.
Voices echoed everywhere—
Civilian 1 ,shocked,
"What… is that thing in the sky?!"
Civilian 2 ,excited, trembling,
"Record it! Record it! This is insane!"
Civilian 3 , fearful whisper,
"This… doesn't feel normal…"
Within minutes—
the entire world was watching.
The moment spread like wildfire.
Every screen.
Every country.
A single event… binding humanity in awe.
Rivals Awaken
Far from the crowds…
Inside two of the world's most powerful research institutions—
SSR and ROS.
Silence turned into urgency.
Screens flashed.
Data surged.
SSR Scientist ,urgent,
"This unknown object just entered Earth's atmosphere!"
Another Scientist from ROS , shaken,
"Its energy readings… they don't match anything known!"
Both organizations realized the same truth at the same time—
This was not just a discovery.
This was something beyond their expectations.
And whoever claimed it…
would rise above the world.
The Shattering of the Unknown
As the spell descended…
Earth's gravity began to pull it apart.
A sharp sound echoed—
CRACK.
Like glass breaking under pressure.
The glowing form trembled… then split.
Two parts.
One piece—heavy
alive—
Fell deep into the mountains, vanishing into darkness.
The other—fragments—
scattered across the land like broken stars.
The impact shook the earth.
Dust rose into the sky.
And silence followed.
Race for the Fragments
Helicopters roared.
Vehicles stormed forward.
Making both sky and roads busy.
Scientists rushed into the place by the help of social media and investigate's the land , desperate to claim the unknown.
Researcher , focused,
"Secure every fragment! Don't leave anything behind!"
Another , determined,
"This could change everything we know about science!"
After gathering all the fragments, the researchers take them into the lab, into a chamber. And starts examine the fragments — what they found was make them speechless.
The fragments pulsed like it was alive for a moment.
This makes them to go different.
Quieter.
Faster.
More dangerous.
Midnight Discovery
Night fell.
The world slept…
but obsession stayed awake.
Inside SSR—
A lone scientist replayed the footage again… and again.
His eyes narrowed.
Scientist , realizing, tense,
"It… split… but the main part… it rolled deeper…"
Without hesitation—
he ran.
Zoick's Decision
Inside a dim office, lit only by cold light—
sat Zoick, who is the chairman of SSR research center.
Calm.
Sharp.
Watching.
Thinking.
The scientist burst in.
Scientist , breathing hard,
"Sir… the main core… it's still in the mountains!"
Zoick's eyes gleamed.
A slow smile formed.
Zoick , low, commanding,
"Send someone. Now."
The scientist starts to leave.
Zoick, calling out,
" Wait—"
A pause.
Zoick , cold,
"Ignore protocols."
The Retrieving
One of the employee in SSR accepts the danger and wants to go to the depths of mountains. With a axe in his hand and torch on his head, he slowly walks through the vast, lifeless hollow path . His footsteps echoes through the unshaped corridors.
Employee sighed out of fear and lay on the wall, taking a short break. While he was smoking — alight came out of nowhere, it starts to glow violently. Employee rushes towards it and witness a broken shape spell containing a soul.
His eyes widen with amaze , he slowly keeps the spell in his secured box with the help of vibranium stick and begins to leave.
But then—
A low growl sound, echoes through the area.
The sound is just like a predator about to take its prey.
He turned.
His sweat drips to the temple with fear.
Then rumbling sound across the path, as it was going to collapse. Employee runs for his life by securely brings back the spell to the lab.
The First Reaction
In the lab—
The machines making beep sound . The scanner's makes humming sound.
As everything examining.
In the middle —
The fragment sat still.
Silent.
Dead… at first glance.
Scientists circled it.
Scanned it.
Tested it.
Nothing.
Head Scientist , frustrated,
"Argh! What is this thing?!"
He grabbed a bottle of water—
Paused.
His eyes widened.
As some scientists trespassing near to it.
The spell… reacted.
Slightly.
Almost like… it noticed him.
The Experiment Begins
Inside the main chamber—
Zoick stood watching.
Interested.
Head Scientist , focused,
"Sir… it reacts differently to each person."
Zoick smirked.
Zoick , curious, dangerous,
" Yeah, i can see it! Then let's see who it likes."
He turned—
Zoick , commanding,
"Dr. Kwan… begin human testing."
Dr. Kwan , obedient,
"Yes, sir."
The Price of Curiosity
Scientists stepped forward.
One by one.
The spell began to react—
Violently.
Energy pulsed.
The air is distorted.
Zoick observed carefully.
Zoick , calm,
"Keep the ones it reacts to… separate."
Then he stepped closer to them.
Zoick , cold authority,
"Touch it."
They hesitated.
But obeyed.
And then—
Chaos.
Energy exploded.
Screams filled the chamber.
Scientist , screaming,
"AAAHHHH—!!"
Some collapsed.
Some burned.
Some… didn't survive.
Silence returned.
But this time…
it was heavier.
The Man Who Didn't Fear It
The room smelled of fear.
But Zoick… walked forward.
Dr. Kwan , worried,
"Sir… what are you doing?!"
Zoick raised his hand.
Silence.
Step by step…
he approached the spell.
And then—
It reacted.
Not violently.
Not wildly.
But… obediently.
As if it recognized him.
As if it… accepted him.
Zoick smiled.
The Birth of Obsession
His eyes changed.
This was no longer about SSR.
No longer about rivalry.
This was something greater.
Zoick , whisper, obsessed,
"This power… belongs to me."
He turned—
Clenches his fist.
Zoick , decisive, dark,
"Prepare the experiment."
A pause.
Zoick , absolute,
"I'll do it myself."
The room froze.
Fear spread.
But Zoick…
Only smiled.
The Beginning of Something Unforgivable
Far away…
Across the realms…
In a ruined, vast deserted land.
In a dark cave.
A pair of two eyes.
Alive.
Watching.
Waiting.
And—
The eyes turned to furious— a furious that it didn't want someone or something to exist.
