Aiden fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
His heart was beating fast.
"What… just happened?"
His hands were shaking.
Dark smoke was still slowly moving around his fingers.
Suddenly, he noticed something shocking.
The grass near his hand began to turn black… and then disappeared.
It was not burned.
It was not destroyed.
It was simply… erased.
Aiden's eyes widened in fear.
"This power… it's eating everything…"
He quickly stood up and stepped back.
But the darkness followed him like a shadow.
Inside his mind, the mysterious voice spoke again.
"This is Void Magic."
"The power to absorb all existence."
Aiden felt cold.
"Void… magic? I've never heard of it…"
The voice replied:
"Because it is forbidden."
"Long ago, this power almost destroyed the world."
Aiden's body trembled.
"Then why… do I have it?"
Silence filled his mind for a moment.
Then the voice whispered:
"Because you were chosen."
"And now… your fate has begun."
Suddenly, the dark energy surged wildly.
Aiden screamed as pain rushed through his body.
His eyes turned completely black.
A massive wave of darkness exploded around him.
Everything within ten meters vanished instantly.
Trees.
Rocks.
Even the ground itself.
When the energy finally stopped…
Aiden collapsed on the empty land.
Breathing weakly.
His mind filled with one terrifying thought.
"If anyone sees this… they will call me a monster."
Tears slowly fell from his eyes.
"I can't let anyone know…"
He clenched his fists.
From that moment…
Aiden made a decision.
He would hide this power.
No matter what.
Because he knew one thing for sure.
This was not just magic.
This was a power that could destroy the world.
And somewhere in the darkness…
Something had already awakened.
