To those who keep climbing, even when the stars tell them to stop.

 

Introduction

The Rift was supposed to be a tool. A weapon. A miracle.

Instead, it became a curse.

Those who touched it were either devoured… or crowned.

I didn't ask for this crown. But now that it's mine, I intend to wear it.

And when I'm done, the Rift itself will kneel.

This is my story — the boy who became the Emperor of Nothing. The heir to the abyss. The breaker of kings.

My name is Kade Yurei.

And this is only the beginning.

Chapter 1: The Awakening

Kade Yurei gritted his teeth as the burning sands of the Riftstorm tore at his cloak. In 'The Awakening', he would be tested like never before. The shadows that once served as his shield now clawed at him with hunger, and the power he once wielded with ease now resisted him. He wasn't just growing stronger — he was evolving, changing.

The air crackled with tension as ancient runes awakened beneath his boots, glowing with the warnings of those who had come before. Whispers of the Rift's first heir echoed around him. He raised his daggers — not in defense, but in challenge.

'Come then,' Kade whispered to the abyss. 'Let's see who breaks first.'

The monsters came in waves. Leviathans of bone, angels of ruin, machines possessed by forgotten gods. And Kade fought them all. Every slash carved deeper into the truth. Every wound pushed him further past human. And as he bled and laughed and bled again, the Rift whispered a name he hadn't heard in years — his father's.

It was in this chapter that Lionel appeared again, his wings wide, his flames screaming defiance. Together they ripped open the sky. But it wasn't enough. Not yet.

This wasn't just another trial. This was the unraveling of everything.

And Kade — Emperor of Nothing — would decide what rose in its place.

The monsters came in waves. Leviathans of bone, angels of ruin, machines possessed by forgotten gods. And Kade fought them all. Every slash carved deeper into the truth. Every wound pushed him further past human. And as he bled and laughed and bled again, the Rift whispered a name he hadn't heard in years — his father's.

It was in this chapter that Lionel appeared again, his wings wide, his flames screaming defiance. Together they ripped open the sky. But it wasn't enough. Not yet.

This wasn't just another trial. This was the unraveling of everything.

And Kade — Emperor of Nothing — would decide what rose in its place.

As the sun fell in reverse and the stars blinked to black, the chapter closed with a promise: The next would break the world.

 

Chapter 47: Trial of Names

Kade Yurei gritted his teeth as the burning sands of the Riftstorm tore at his cloak. In 'Trial of Names', he would be tested like never before. The shadows that once served as his shield now clawed at him with hunger, and the power he once wielded with ease now resisted him. He wasn't just growing stronger — he was evolving, changing.

The air crackled with tension as ancient runes awakened beneath his boots, glowing with the warnings of those who had come before. Whispers of the Rift's first heir echoed around him. He raised his daggers — not in defense, but in challenge.

'Come then,' Kade whispered to the abyss. 'Let's see who breaks first.'
