LOGINChapter Seventy Eight~~Third party pov ~~“So tell me, Aria,” Darius said, his voice steady, “does this world deserve mercy?”She did not answer immediately. She understood Darius’s perspective, but she also knew that life is not always fair. The life of humans is full of ups and downs, pain and sorrow, happiness and joy. Life can be cruel and painful. Darius felt cheated by the world, and all he felt for it was hatred. What answer could she give to such a person?Darius did not wait.“I would rather purge all the evil from this world,” he continued. “And the only way to do that is to destroy it and start again.”Aria shook her head quickly.“Darius, no,” she said, stepping forward. Her voice carried urgency now. “I understand you are hurt. I know you were wronged. But there are countless innocent people out there,” she continued. “People who have nothing to do with this. Your actions will destroy them too.”Her voice softened slightly.“Please… stop this.”Aria doubted if her words
Chapter Seventy Seven: The Origin of the Lie~~Third party pov~~Darius stood calmly, his eyes sweeping across Aria and Lyrian.“In a world filled with chaos and cruelty,” he began, his voice steady, “there is always brutality, the strong preying on the weak. In such a world, there will always be people who cry out for help. Humans, wolves, all living beings,” Darius continued, “they always look up to something higher when they are weak. They hope that something divine will save them.”He paused briefly.“In our world, that ‘something’ is the Moon Goddess. We all believe in her, and we believe she exists.”At the mention of her, both Aria and Lyrian’s expressions changed slightly.“She watches over this world,” Darius said. “Not to control it, but to maintain balance. And to prevent any power from becoming too great. She knew how greedy the human heart can be, how selfish and wicked people can become, so she made a choice.”Aria agreed with his words. Every person had their own selfis
Chapter Seventy Six~~Third party pov~~Darius’ eyes were fixed on Aria.“After everything that happened, I felt rejected, betrayed, and consumed by hatred. The only thing I had left was the secret my mother told me before,” Darius continued, his voice calm but heavy. “A place she spoke about before everything fell apart. She said the truth behind the fall of Vazathan was hidden there.”Aria’s mind was in turmoil. She had known Darius since she was ten. They had shared a deep friendship, and he had helped her many times, yet she had never realized he was suffering in silence. She had never understood what she truly meant to him until now.Darius had always been her friend. If she had known the truth from the beginning, she would never have neglected him.Darius took a slow breath before continuing.“So I went there. Alone. I searched through everything I could find, and in the end… I found it.”Lyrian’s gaze sharpened. He could clearly see the subtle change in Aria’s emotions, but he
Chapter Seventy Five~~Third party pov ~~Darius shifted his gaze and looked directly at Aria.“Aria,” he said slowly with a smile, “you should already know the rest of the story.”Aria frowned at first, confusion clear on her face. For a moment, she did not understand what he meant. But as she looked at him again, something began to connect in her mind.Her eyes widened slightly.“…Darius,” she said quietly, “is this your life story?”She took a slow step forward, her voice growing firmer.“Are you saying George Blackthorn is your father? But you…”The truth left her speechless. Her mind struggled to process everything.Clara looked between them in shock.Lyrian’s expression darkened. He had guessed it earlier, but hearing it confirmed still made him uncomfortable.Aria’s mind began to fill with memories she had not thought about in a long time.She remembered a quiet and gentle woman. A woman who always stayed away from others and rarely spoke unless necessary. That woman would som
Chapter Seventy Four~~Third party pov ~~Darius continued speaking. The dark smoke from the rift rose slowly behind him, but the creatures were no longer emerging since he began telling the story. However, the battle between the warriors and the creatures still continued in the distance.“Lyrian, I know you thought highly of your father and considered him your role model. You even built a statue of that man in remembrance. Thanks to that very statue, I became even more ambitious and determined. Even when my heart wavered, looking at it always ignited the dying flame within me.”Lyrian stood with his sword in his hand, his eyes fixed on Darius. Aria remained beside him, watching carefully. Clara sat weakly on the ground not far away, her face pale as she listened.Darius looked at Lyrian calmly before continuing the story.“When George discovered that Louis was carrying his child, the situation became dangerous for him,” Darius said slowly. “Your father was the Alpha King. His reputat
Chapter Seventy Three~~Third party pov ~~“You should know the truth and my real identity. It is better than dying in ignorance,” Darius said.The battlefield grew strangely quiet after Darius spoke. Although the fight between the warriors and the underworld creatures continued in the distance, the center of the ritual ground felt frozen. The dark smoke from the rift continued to rise behind Darius, twisting slowly in the air.Lyrian stood still with his sword in his hand, his sharp eyes fixed on Darius. Aria remained beside him, her expression serious and alert. Clara, who was still sitting weakly on the ground, tried to listen despite the pain spreading through her body.Darius looked at them calmly, as if he had been waiting many years to speak these words.“You want to know how I am alive,” he said slowly. “Then you must hear the story from the beginning.”He turned slightly and looked toward the dark land of Vazathan.“Many centuries ago, during the great war against the House o
