⚔️ Chapter 47
"Not every memory is meant to be remembered. Some are weapons—some are prisons."
🌌 Scene: Aeren's Dreamwalk – Echoes of the Sealed War
Aeren stood before a giant floating mirror, cracked yet glowing.
Each shard showed a different version of himself—in battle, crowned, falling, laughing, dying, ascending.
"These aren't dreams," he whispered. "They're memories."
Suddenly, a voice—one he hadn't heard before, but somehow recognized.
"You were not sealed to protect others, Aeren. You were sealed… because you chose to lose."
"You had the power to end it all—space, time, and will—and you chose to forget."
As Aeren touched the mirror, it shattered, and every fragment burned into his body.
He gasped.
His veins glowed faintly purple and silver—space and mind fusing within.

🌫️ Scene: Anshi's Recovery – The Silver Phoenix Awakens
Meanwhile, Anshi was being pulled out of the collapsing labyrinth by Seekers.
Her wounds were deep, her energy drained—but the mark on her palm pulsed like a heartbeat.
In her unconscious state, she was in a blazing field, surrounded by silver feathers. A tall woman of flame and wind appeared.
"You hold my blood… and my burden."
"Rise, Flame of Hope. You are the last Silver Phoenix."
Suddenly, flames wrapped around Anshi's body in the real world, healing her wounds. When she opened her eyes—
They glowed silver.
The Seekers stepped back.
"Her bloodline has evolved… again."
🕯️ Scene: The New Threat – The False King Arrives
In the darker side of Crosnic, where the world's broken energies swirled, a man sat upon a throne of bones.
His face hidden behind a steel mask, black veins crawling over his arms.
Behind him stood the dark organization—Umbra Scepter—known only to a few.
"The Mind Sovereign stirs. How… inconvenient."
"If the King wakes, the World Chain breaks."
He raised his hand, and three Level 8 monsters bowed.
"Find the Crownless. Find the girl with Phoenix blood. Bring me their hearts."
🔥 Scene: Academy Emergency Council – The Gathering
At Sinjai Academy, all five diamond-tier instructors, and a new mysterious guest—the Azure Judge—met in secret.
"Two ancient bloodlines have reawakened. And one of them—Aeren—was a complete unknown until now."
"The Labyrinth has collapsed. The monster inside it is still sealed… barely."
One instructor said, "If the Mind Sovereign truly returns, the balance of the world shifts."
Another added, "There's another issue… The Forgotten Vault under Crosnic is rumbling again. Only one person could unlock it."
Everyone looked at the screen.
It showed Aeren, unconscious, the symbol glowing on his back like a living star map.
🌌 Scene: Aeren's Awakening – The Time Drift Glimpse
Aeren opened his eyes again—but he wasn't in the infirmary.
He was watching Anshi train—with a vision from the future.
She was standing over a destroyed city, crying, holding a broken crown, screaming his name.
He gasped and returned to the present.
"Was that… the future?"
Then another notification appeared before him:
"Do you wish to initiate Temporal Anchor?""Doing so may permanently connect your fate to hers."
And without hesitation—
"Yes."
