●●● 17 YEARS AGO
In the Kingdom of Abyssline, the sky darkened without warning; a suffocating darkness that seemed to devour every form of light.
The rain that followed was thick and heavy, sizzling against rooftops; every drop felt like bullets hitting the roof. The earth shook as tremors shattered across the streets. Every being in Abyssline that day felt truly terrified; fear struck their hearts as they all thought their entire kingdom was being swallowed by darkness and destruction.
Inside a secluded white chamber that served as a healer's ward, potions hung all around the room in different colors. In the middle of the room was a bright glowing light ; the only source of light in the chamber. A woman screamed, clutching the sheets beneath her as pain surged through her body.
"Unbelievable… get the others now! I can't do this alone!" shouted the mage-medic, his once immaculate robe now soaked in sweat.
Four more mages rushed in, forming a circle around the bed. They raised their hands in unison, using a combined spell to aid in delivery, but the spell dissolved mid-air, evaporating into nothing before touching the woman's skin.
Somehow, the magic was being cancelled.
Her cries grew louder as she screamed in pain, clutching the sheets of the bed. And then, just as a loud thunder echoed, it happened; a cry followed.
The world seemed to slow down as everything went back to normal. The darkness disappeared, and light was restored. The sky became clear, almost like a downpour had never occurred. The earth was still, and a gentle wind blew across Abyssline.
In the mage-medic's hands rested a newborn child.

^^In Abyssline,there are three schools; The adventure guide academy, Esoteric Academy and the Regal academy.
And today is the final entry exam for students at the Regal academy,and it is happening at the exam hall^^
The hall was immense and rectangular, a structure designed to awe as much as to host. At its heart lay an open-air martial arts ring, reminiscent of legendary arenas; its floor was polished and framed by wide stone steps on each side, allowing fighters to ascend into the center with ceremony. Above, the roof opened to the sky, letting sunlight or moonlight spill directly onto the ring, highlighting every movement within.
Around the ring, the space rose in tiers of seating, divided into a lower and an upper level. On the upper levels, rows of chairs lined all four sides three seats per side painted silver, with a single golden seat set apart for the King. The lower level was packed with spectators whose cheers echoed through the cavernous hall. On the lower deck, two sides were partially occupied, where viewers stood behind sturdy barriers, leaning forward for a better view of the action.
The hall had two main doors on the shorter width of the rectangle. One opened inward toward the contestants' area, a pathway for warriors to make their dramatic entrance; the other opened outward, leading to the outside world. Opposite these doors, the walls were clear, except for a small cluster of onlookers who preferred to watch from the sidelines, standing freely without the confines of barriers.
Every detail of the hall had been designed specifically for the final entry exam of the Regal Academy. On the upper level, the silver seats were occupied by royals, nobles, and high-ranking professors of the Academy. The single golden seat was occupied by the King, and behind him stood a sickly-looking boy who stood at 5'8", had a frail yet deceptively lean figure, his long black hair streaked with silver falling to shadow his deep, voidlike eyes that seemed to absorb everything. His clothes were oddly patched, stitched together awkwardly as if by an amateur, stained and dirty, giving him a rough, unsettling appearance that clashed with the quiet intensity of his presence.
"Stupid exam and stupid people," muttered Null as he stood behind the King.
