*The Fate Weaver's Gaze – Omary's Journey *

The battle behind him left echoes in Omary's bones. Victory felt hollow — not because it lacked meaning, but because it whispered a deeper truth: *this was only the beginning.*

The stars were restless. The Titan's corpse pulsed faintly, like a great being still dreaming. Omary stood on one of its spine-ridges, Neila and Excap by his side.

"I'm leaving," Omary said.

Neila blinked. "Where?"

"Beyond the sects. Beyond familiarity. If I'm going to face the Dark King... I need more than our teachings. I need to understand this universe — and evolve beyond it."

Excap merely nodded. "Then we go with you."

"No," Omary said softly. "I go first. If I die, you'll know the path not to take. And if I live you will recruit more friends to our cause."

And so, alone, he journeyed across the inner shell of the dead Titan, leaving the comfort of sect walls and immortal cultivators.

*Far above, unseen, Ashur-ll'Zhara watched.*

He sat atop an invisible string of fate that coiled like galaxies. Threads radiated from him, dancing like silent whispers in the wind. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes burned with interest.

From a thousand shadowed corners, *hidden watchers* — corrupted cultivators, void remnants, dark scouts — prepared to ambush Omary.

But they never got the chance.

Without a glance, without a gesture, threads slipped from Ashur's being. They hummed once. Then they *cut* — silently, instantly — killing all the hidden foes silently. Ashur didn't move. His gaze remained fixed on Omary.

"He's adapting faster than expected," he whispered, smiling faintly. "Let's see if fate bends… or break him."

*Omary: Wandering Hero*

Omary's journey led him to discover a clan of insectoid-alien beings known as *Krokoa*, hive-minded but fractured. Once proud defenders of cosmic energies and peace but not now. For they were nearly wiped out by the Dark King's forward forces.

He arrived just as the last Krokoa queen was about to be devoured by corrupted sky-beasts while her citizens were like lambs waiting for slaughter.

Without hesitation, Omary acted.

*[System Activated: Emergency Evolution Branch Unlocked]*

*[Skill Obtained: Celestial Pulse Technique]*

He blasted forward with a hybrid attack — combining *Qi shockwaves*, *mana spears*, and *cosmic energy*. Each strike realigned physics around him, disrupting the voidspawn's corrupted flow.

The sky-beasts screamed, twisting in eldritch agony, then fell — turned into crystallized dust.

It took time for Omary to convince the Krokoa queen to join him in his cause of ending the dark king's terror. When asked why he choose that cause, he answered with belief.

Omary believed he came to this world for a reason and after witnessing the dark king's herald, he knew he was a variable which the dark king is going to exterminate along with the whole universe. He prefer to be in offence rather than defence thus his need for allies in the war against the dark king.

The krokoa queen sensing something within him, bent her form.

"The krokoa shall never live in misery again," she said through clicks and hums. "We shall follow you against him."

With the Krokoa added to his side, Omary continued forward — unknowingly pulling more lives into his unfolding legend.

His system pulsed.

*[Title Earned: Flame of Unity]*

*[Influence spreading. Factions beginning to shift.]*

Far away, Ashur-ll'Zhara smiled.

He weaved another thread.

The experiment was working.

And fate… fate was watching too

Within the infinite universe that pulsed inside the fallen Titan's corpse, *Omary* had become more than just a man. From a soul summoned from an Earth-like world, he had risen — evolved — into a living anomaly, a convergence of human ingenuity and alien power. His *System*, fused with the Titan's cosmic essence, had grown more complex, more sentient, almost like a guide... or a watcher.

At his side marched an army of millions of *Greys, Krokoa*, crystalline beings from the lungs of the Titan, amphibious flame-speakers from its oceans, and more. All united under *Omary*, the *Incarnate Spark of the Titan*, to face against the *Dark King* in a war for existence.
