As the final echoes of the battle faded, and the scent of blood still hung in the damp air of the cave, Jin felt something stir in his chest like a rising flame ignited by victory.

Suddenly, a chime resounded deep within his mind, resonating like a divine bell.

]

Jin's eyes narrowed as he read through both descriptions. His breath slowed. "Weapons…? Claws? That's not what I need right now…" He clenched his fists, still feeling the soreness from carrying the heavy packs.

He made his decision without hesitation.

  "Tyrant Body," he whispered. "My body is weak. I need to become unbreakable."

At that moment, a sharp flash of light pierced through his vision. A flood of knowledge surged into his mind. Movements, stances, muscle contractions, and breathing techniques each etched into his memory with perfect clarity. He gasped as his muscles began to tremble, adjusting on a deeper level.

He could feel the change already beginning.

Far away, beneath the crystal chandeliers of the capital palace, the air was thick not with tension, but with the aftermath of pleasure.

The chamber was dimly lit, the silken sheets tangled around two figures locked in close proximity. The Second Queen, Molana, her raven-black hair spilling over the pillows, lay against the chest of a powerful, battle-hardened man Captain Roger, the commander of the royal guard.

She traced a finger along his jaw with a satisfied smirk.

  "So," she murmured lazily, "you meant it when you said you'd raise morale among your men."

Roger chuckled darkly, his arm still wrapped around her.

  "I always keep my promises, Your Grace. Consider it… motivational training."

But her eyes narrowed, cold and calculating beneath the sheets of velvet and perfume.

  "And what of Lana and the boy? They are supposed to die an the ambush. They must not escape."

Roger's expression darkened, and he sat up slightly.

  "They won't see the light of day past tomorrow," he said grimly. "I'll send an elite squad. This time, there'll be no mistakes."

Molana leaned back with a satisfied sigh.

  "Good. The sooner they disappear, the less of a threat they pose to the throne. That boy… Jin… is starting to become an irritation."

Outside the capital palace, beneath a blood-red moon, the gears of fate continued to turn.

And the storm was just beginning.
