The night sky above the world grew darker.
An eclipse slowly formed in the sky like a shadow devouring the moon's light.
In a dimension far beyond the human world…
A kingdom of emptiness stretched endlessly.
Its sky was black like an abyss.
The ground was filled with dark energy that moved like living mist.
At the center of that world stood a massive throne made of black stone.
Upon it sat a figure feared across all dimensions.
The Void Sovereign.
His eyes glowed dimly like dying stars.
Before him, shadows gathered and transformed into creatures of the Void.
But one figure stood at the very front.
Its body was tall, covered in black armor like shattered crystal.
The aura radiating from it was far stronger than that of ordinary Void creatures.
The Void Sovereign spoke in a deep voice.
"The human world has begun to notice our presence."
The creature knelt.
"Your command, my lord."
The Void Sovereign slowly raised his hand.
Void energy swirled like a dark galaxy.
"Go to that world."
"Bring destruction."
"And find… the human who killed my army."
The creature lifted its head.
Its eyes burned red.
"The Shadow King…"
The Void Sovereign smiled faintly.
"Yes."
"Kill him."
The creature rose and walked toward a dimensional rift that had begun to open.
He was the first General of the Void.
In the human world…
In the middle of a dark forest near the kingdom's border.
Arken walked slowly.
The shadows on the ground followed his every step.
Suddenly—
The air around him changed.
A black rift opened in the sky.
Arken stopped walking.
His eyes looked up.
From the rift descended a large figure clad in black armor and surrounded by an aura of void energy.
The ground trembled as the creature landed.
It stared at Arken with glowing red eyes.
"At last, I've found you…"
Arken remained calm.
"So the Void has begun sending its generals."
The creature raised a massive sword made of void energy.
"I am a messenger of the Void."
"I have come to take your head."
The night wind stopped.
The shadows around Arken began to move more wildly.
He let out a slow breath.
"Then…"
The shadows on the ground rose like a black wave.
Arken lifted his hand.
"…go ahead and try."
Beneath the darkening eclipse—
The battle between the Shadow King and the First General of the Void was about to begin.
