Chapter One: The Birth of Lucian
On a cold and quiet morning, Lucian Void was born in a small village on the edge of a misty mountain. There was no sign that he would become different from any other child… but he was different.
From his earliest days, his mother noticed that his eyes followed things with more focus than any other child. It was not mere innocent curiosity, but a sharp curiosity, as if his mind was capturing details no one else could perceive.
Lucian grew up in a simple world, among friends who played in the forest and among old books he found in his village's library. He loved to ask about everything: Why does the sky change? How do trees grow? What lies beyond the mountains?
The people of the village sometimes laughed at his questions, but he did not care. Something inside him whispered that the world was larger than it seemed, and that the truth waited for those who dared to seek it.
At the age of seven, something strange happened. While playing near the river, he felt a strange silence, as if the air around him had grown heavier. He did not know what it was, but he felt something watching him—something greater than anything he knew. His hands trembled, yet he did not scream. That was his first experience with the feeling of mystery and void, a sensation that would follow him throughout his life.
From that moment on, Lucian became interested in the unfamiliar. He possessed no power yet; he did not know that one day he would become someone capable of touching the void. But he began developing something far more important: determination, curiosity, and the ability to face the unknown with a calm mind.
Thus began the chapter of his life: an ordinary child, wide eyes upon the world, and a heart brave enough to question the unknown.
Chapter Two: The Days of Childhood
Lucian grew up in a small village surrounded by forests and mountains, where life was simple but everything hid behind a veil of mystery.
He spent long hours exploring the river and the woods, observing the movements of birds, studying patterns of plants, and questioning everything. His inquiries were not mere curiosity, but attempts to understand the hidden order behind all things.
At the age of ten, the first experience that made him feel truly different occurred. While wandering through the forest, he fell into a small dark cave—but he did not scream or run.
Instead, he sat calmly, touched the cold cave wall, and sensed the strange emptiness and silence surrounding him.
It was an odd feeling, as if the place itself were watching him. Yet he was not afraid… he was amazed and ready to understand what was happening.
These small experiences taught him something important: survival does not depend on strength, but on focus, calmness, and understanding.
Even when he faced trouble at school or with other children, he knew how to maintain his balance and resolve matters with his mind rather than force.
Chapter Three: Adolescence and the Seeds of Curiosity
By the age of thirteen, Lucian had become a quiet and contemplative young boy.
While his friends spent hours playing and having fun, he preferred sitting by the riverbank, watching the flow of water, wondering about the river's origin and how it flowed endlessly.
One night, as he gazed at the star-filled sky, he felt that the universe was greater than he could comprehend.
His heart beat strongly, yet he did not feel fear. Instead, he felt something else: a powerful desire to understand this mysterious world and to know what lay beyond the natural limits of human perception.
During this phase, his core traits as a future hero began to take shape: Patience and keen observation.
Scientific and philosophical curiosity.
A simple courage in facing the unknown.
Until now, Lucian was entirely an ordinary human—but within him lay the seeds of someone who would one day connect with the void and the cosmic order.
Chapter Four: Confronting the Unknown
At sixteen, Lucian had become known among the villagers for his restless curiosity.
One summer morning, he decided to head toward the distant forest, a place no one had dared approach for years. He told himself: "If I want to understand the world, I must see what others do not."
With every step he took, the trees seemed older and larger, the air heavier. Suddenly, he heard a strange whispering sound, as though the forest itself were speaking to him.
He stopped and took a deep breath, trying to calm his heart. All his human senses were on alert.
After minutes of silence, he saw a strange shadow moving between the trees. He did not know whether it was an animal, a person, or something else… but he felt both danger and curiosity at the same time.
Without any supernatural power, he had nothing but his mind and intuition. A cautious step, a pause, then observation.
The shadow of the forest watched him, and then what appeared to be a small, semi-humanoid creature emerged, its eyes glowing with a mysterious light.
Lucian did not flee. Instead, he sat on a tree stump and asked calmly: "Who are you? And what are you doing here?"
The creature did not answer, but approached cautiously, watching him as if testing him.
In that moment, Lucian felt for the first time that there was a hidden order governing the world, something greater than all human knowledge.
He did not yet know that this was his first glimpse of the void and the cosmic order, and that his curiosity and courage would later drive him to gain extraordinary power.
Despite everything, Lucian felt a quiet pride: he had not run away. He had faced the unknown with nothing but his human mind.
Chapter Five: A Glimpse of the Possible
Years passed after his first encounter in the forest. Lucian was now eighteen, a calm and observant young man who studied everything around him with a curious mind.
On a cloudy morning, he decided to walk near an old cliff overlooking the eternal void—a place no one had dared approach for decades.
He stood at the edge, contemplating the vast emptiness before him, his heart beating with both excitement and fear.
Then something strange happened. An unnatural cold breeze passed over him, stirring something within him he did not yet understand.
Lucian felt as though his mind touched a hidden line in reality—a thin thread connecting the visible world to something beyond it. It was not power, not an ability, but a new sensation of existence, a preliminary awareness of boundaries he could not yet cross.
He sat down, trying to comprehend what had happened. His heart was filled with greater curiosity: "If there is something greater than all I know… can I understand it? Can I learn to coexist with it?"
He did not realize that in that small moment, the void itself had begun to recognize him, and that this strange sensation was the first step toward the ability he would one day acquire.
It was a glimpse of the possible, a sign that the human mind, if sharp enough, can touch what lies beyond ordinary perception.
Lucian stood up with a quiet smile. He had not gained power yet, but for the first time he felt that the world was far larger than it appeared—and that curiosity and courage were his gateway to discovering it.
Thus, the true journey began: the journey of an ordinary human who would become more than human, step by step, through understanding, patience, and mind.
Chapter Six: The First Test
The forest was calm that morning, but Lucian sensed something unusual.
The leaves trembled without wind, and the birds fell silent. Something was watching him.
He walked carefully between the trees, trying to interpret every sound and movement. Suddenly, a hidden trap fell before him—a small pit concealed by branches.
Lucian stopped at the last second, his heart racing, his human mind working at full speed: how could he overcome this danger?
Then he heard strange whispers, as if the forest itself were warning him.
From the shadows emerged a massive animal unlike any he had seen before, its eyes glowing with a mysterious yellow light.
He had no power, no weapon—only his intelligence and his skill in observation.
He took a deep breath and began studying the creature's movements: He noticed that it was sensitive to noise.
He realized he could slowly retreat to avoid provoking it.
Slowly and with extreme caution, he moved step by step, avoiding any motion that might make him easy prey.
After minutes that felt like hours, the creature finally withdrew into the shadows, leaving Lucian alive—terrified yet amazed at his ability to survive.
He sat on a tree stump, panting, but smiled to himself: "I survived… with my mind alone, without power or supernatural skill."
This moment marked a turning point in his character: He realized survival depends on intelligence, observation, and patience.
He learned that danger does not require direct confrontation, but understanding and careful handling.
He began to feel that something greater existed beyond all he knew, and that curiosity and courage were his true weapons.
Thus, Lucian's real journey as an ordinary human in a world full of mystery and danger began—step by step toward what he would one day become.
Chapter Seven: The First Touch of the Void
Weeks passed after his first true test in the forest.
Lucian became more cautious and more attentive to every movement and sound. His human mind worked tirelessly, analyzing every strange phenomenon, attempting to understand the laws of the world around him.
One night, as he sat on a cliff overlooking a deep valley, he felt something unusual in the air.
The night breeze passed between the rocks, but it was not natural. A faint sensation of void—as if gravity itself weakened for a moment—washed over him.
Lucian possessed no ability, yet he closed his eyes and felt a thin line extending from his mind into the space around him.
It was a vague sensation, not yet power, but in some way he had touched the boundaries of reality—boundaries he had never known existed.
He sat quietly, contemplating this strange feeling: He could not move anything with his strength.
He did not feel physically different.
All he had was a preliminary awareness—a sense of boundaries and void, the edge of perception no ordinary human had felt before.
He smiled to himself, realizing something important: "I may not have power yet, but my mind can touch what others cannot see."
This small glimpse was the first seed of an ability that would grow with time and experience.
Every sensation, every study, every step in the forest, every confrontation with danger—each was building the foundation for a being who would become more than human, connected to the void and the cosmic order.
That night, under the star-filled sky, Lucian felt for the first time that his true journey had truly begun… and that no matter how ordinary he was, curiosity and courage could be his gateway to a world far greater.
Chapter Eight: The First True Confrontation
It was early morning, and mist covered a deep valley behind the village.
Lucian decided to head into the forest to explore a place he had never visited before—a region filled with rocky fissures and small rivers.
He did not know that this day would change something in his life forever.
As he walked cautiously, he heard a distant scream. It was not the sound of an ordinary animal, but a broken, pained human cry.
His heart raced, but he did not run. His human mind began analyzing rapidly: The source of the sound seemed close to a narrow river.
The area was dangerous—slippery rocks and rushing water.
He approached carefully and saw a young girl trapped on a rock in the middle of the rushing river. The water was rising around her, and the current was too strong for an ordinary person.
Lucian had no supernatural power and did not know how to save her—but he thought quickly: He used a long tree trunk as a temporary bridge.
He threw the rope he always carried as a safety tool.
Slowly and with great caution, he managed to pull the girl safely to the shore.
She trembled from cold and fear, but looked at him with eyes full of gratitude.
In that moment, Lucian felt something new: A sense of strength born from intelligence, initiative, and human courage—even without supernatural abilities.
A realization that the world is full of dangers ordinary humans can face if they are aware and cautious.
As the girl recovered, a distant shadow appeared between the trees, silently watching the scene.
Lucian did not feel immediate threat, but he sensed that something else in the forest was observing him—something greater and more mysterious than any danger he had faced before.
This was his first true confrontation with external forces, but it was not yet a battle…
It was a lesson in survival, awareness, and reliance on mind and intuition—the foundation of his journey toward what he would later become.
Chapter Nine: The Appearance of the Stranger
After saving the girl from the river, Lucian felt the forest fall silent.
Between the dense trees, a stranger appeared. He did not look like anyone from the village, neither in appearance nor behavior.
He was tall, wearing a dark cloak covering most of his body, and his eyes glowed with an unfamiliar light, as though observing everything around him.
He slowly approached Lucian and the girl, but showed no direct hostility.
With courage and curiosity, Lucian did not flee. He said calmly: "Who are you? And why are you watching us?"
The stranger answered in a soft voice that carried a mysterious weight: "My name is Kael. I follow those who can see what others cannot… you are one of them."
Lucian did not understand at first what he meant, but felt a strange sting in his mind—a sensation that Kael knew something about his world that he himself did not yet know.
Kael offered no direct help, but left a clear message: "Continue observing the world with your mind, and do not rush… the future needs one who understands the void before touching it."
Then the stranger vanished between the trees as suddenly as he had appeared, leaving Lucian with a mixture of astonishment, curiosity, and fear.
In that moment, Lucian realized something important: The world is larger and more complex than imagined.
There are those who know secrets not yet revealed.
His journey would not only be a challenge of survival, but a quest to understand a network of forces and worlds greater than himself.
Thus began his connection with other characters who would later shape the web of conflict and alliances around him—while Lucian remained an ordinary human, relying on his mind and curiosity.
Chapter Ten: The First True Threat
After meeting the stranger, Lucian continued to feel that something in the forest was constantly watching him.
He decided to avoid the river and the cliff, but he did not realize that danger was approaching quickly.
Between the trees appeared a group of wandering bandits, searching for easy prey. Lucian did not know them, but saw that they were armed and dangerous—direct confrontation could be fatal.
He stood calmly behind a tree, and his human mind began analyzing the situation: There were three bandits; one stood near the forest entrance.
He could use the environment to his advantage: tree trunks, rocks, and the open spaces between the trees.
Physical strength would not be enough—he had to act intelligently and strategically.
Quickly, he executed a simple plan: He threw a small stone far away to draw one bandit's attention.
He moved quietly to the other side, out of their direct sight.
He used a small trunk to block their path, slowing their advance.
The moments were critical—one wrong step could cost him his life.
But Lucian succeeded. With calculated movements, he avoided direct confrontation and drove the bandits away from the area safely.
He sat on the ground after the danger had passed, breathing heavily from tension and effort: "I survived… with my mind alone, without any power. That is enough for now."
In that moment, he felt a new kind of awareness—something he had never felt before: A true understanding of the importance of strategy and calmness in the face of danger.
A preliminary sense that he was capable of surviving even against the unknown—and that this world would not allow reliance on ordinary humans alone.
This confrontation marked a turning point: Lucian had not yet gained power, but he began to understand the boundaries and the void around him, and to experience real challenges that would later qualify him to touch the void and the cosmic order.
Thus, the ordinary hero began facing an extraordinary world—step by step, his practical lessons and human intelligence guiding him toward what he would become in the future.
