The room was quiet.
But the silence… no longer felt safe.
---
I sat opposite Chae Yoon-ha.
She took her time.
As if she already knew I would agree to listen to everything.
---
'You've accepted the information about your lineage,' she said calmly.
---
I sighed.
'It's hard not to accept it when you're told you're the prince of some obscure dynasty.'
---
She nodded slightly.
---
'Then I'll continue.'
---
A pause.
---
And her gaze grew more serious.
---
'In three months' time, an event will begin.'
---
I frowned.
'What exactly?'
---
She replied immediately:
---
'The Rift of Chaos.'
---
Silence.
---
Even the SCAR inside fell silent.
---
"The Rift… of what?" I asked slowly.
---
Yunha looked up.
---
"The space between the worlds is thinning."
"And in three months' time, it will open completely."
---
— And then…
---
— they will emerge.
---
I felt a tightness in my chest.
---
— Who are 'they'?
---
---
She didn't answer straight away.
---
Instead, she placed her hand on the table.
---
And symbols appeared before me.
---
Seven seals.
---
— The Seven Entities of Chaos.
---
— The Primordial Destroyers.
---
---
I exhaled slowly.
— And I must stop them?
---
---
She nodded.
---
— Or perish along with this world.
---
---
A pause.
---
I smiled.
— An easy choice.
---
---
But she didn't smile.
---
"There is a way."
---
I froze.
---
"What is it?"
---
---
She looked straight at me.
---
"Kill them."
---
"All seven of them."
---
---
SCAR chuckled quietly:
---
— Now that's interesting.
---
---
I leaned back.
— All right… tell me.
---
---
Yunha waved her hand.
---
And silhouettes appeared before me.
---
---

7. Noxar — "The First Chaos"

---
---
I remained silent.
---
Too much.
Too serious.
---
— And you're saying… — I began slowly.
— that I must kill them all?
---
---
Yunha nodded.
---
— Yes.
---
— Because only the bearer of the dragon's bloodline…
---
— can withstand their death.
---
---
I smiled wryly.
— Sounds more like a curse than a legacy.
---
---
She replied calmly:
---
— Sometimes they're one and the same.
---
---
Silence.
---
I looked at my hands.
---
Lightning.
Spirits.
SCAR.
Kuroyami.
---
And now…
this too.
---
---
— Three months… — I said quietly.
---
---
Yunha stood up.
---
— Not as long as it seems.
---
— And not as short as I'd like.
---
---
She headed for the exit.
---
And stopped at the door.
---
— Ha Jin.
---
I looked up.
---
— You're no hero.
---
Pause.
---
— You're a safety valve.
---
---
And she left.
---
---
I was left alone.
---
SCAR chuckled quietly:
---
— Seven chaos…
---
— I'm already liking this future.
---
---
I slowly clenched my fist.
---
— Then…
---
— let them come.
---
---
Because now…
---
I wasn't just training anymore.
---
I was preparing for war.
