Chapter 2: The First Harvest
Petsa ng paglalathala:
2026-08-12 19:39:15The air inside the ravine no longer felt suffocating. To Kael, every breath tasted like raw electric power.
He raised his hands, watching the faint golden runes pulsed underneath his skin before fading into his flesh. His vision, once limited by human night-blindness, now cut through the thick ash fog as if it were daylight. He could see every jagged vein on the stone walls, hear the trickling water half a mile away, and feel the faint vibration of life slithering through the dark.
A translucent, deep-crimson interface floated in his line of sight.

Level one, Kael thought, his jaw setting firm. A single step, but it’s a step toward tearing down the heavens.
ROAR.
A guttural, wet snarl shattered the quiet of the ruins. The ground trembled as a massive shadow broke through the rotting black vines fifty paces away.
Kael narrowed his eyes. The creature resembled a wolf, but it was corrupted—a Shadow-Spine Hound, a creature born from raw dark magic and dead flesh. It stood eight feet tall at the shoulder, its obsidian skin split along its back to reveal jagged, bone-like blades dripping with venomous black sludge.
In the past, a pack of three full-grown warriors would be needed to hunt a single Shadow-Spine Hound.
The hound locked its glowing red eyes on Kael, catching the scent of fresh blood. It let out a bone-chilling howl and lunged, closing the distance in less than two seconds, its razor-sharp claws raised to slice Kael in half.
Eye of the Primordial, Kael thought instantly.
A golden ring flared around his irises. The creature's blinding speed suddenly slowed in Kael's perception, breaking down into distinct frames of movement.
[ TARGET ANALYZED ]
Name: Corrupted Shadow-Spine Hound
Level: 4 (Rank: Beast)
Weakness: Exposed Core behind the third spinal blade.
Threat Level: Moderate
"A Level 4 monster," Kael muttered, a cold smirk touching his lips. "Perfect."
The hound leaped, its jaw snapping an inch from Kael’s face.
Kael didn't retreat. He side-stepped with fluid, unnatural grace. The wind from the beast's leap whipped through his hair as he pivoted, sidestepping the massive creature. Before the hound could touch the ground, Kael drove his right fist straight into its ribcage.
BOOM!
A shockwave of crimson energy exploded from Kael’s knuckles upon impact. The hound let out a high-pitched yelp as three of its dense, bone-armored ribs shattered like glass. The sheer force of the strike launched the five-hundred-pound monster sideways, smashing it through an ancient stone pillar.
Rubble rained down as the hound struggled to stand, coughing up black blood. It shook its massive head, its eyes filled with sudden terror as it looked at the human-sized creature standing before it.
Kael slowly walked through the dust cloud. He didn't even feel fatigued; the shattered core that once leaked his energy was now an endless furnace of raw force.
"Is that all a Level 4 can do?" Kael asked, stepping over the debris.
Terrified, the hound flared its bone blades and charged one last time in a desperate frenzy.
Kael ducked under a wild swipe, stepped inside the monster’s guard, and drove his palm directly upward into the beast's sweet spot—behind the third spinal blade.
CRACK.
His fingers plunged straight through the corrupted hide, gripping a glowing, dark purple core. With a ruthless twist, he tore it clean out.
The hound stiffened, collapsed to its knees, and hit the dirt, motionless.

A stream of dark violet mist rose from the dead beast and surged straight into Kael's chest. Warmth flooded his limbs, repairing the minor bruises from his fall and filling him with even greater strength.
[ ESSENCE HARVESTED ]
Stat Gained: +2 Agility, +3 Strength.
Loot Dropped: Shadow-Spine Dagger (Rank: Common) — Added to Inventory.
Kael closed his fist, feeling his muscles surge with fresh power. He looked down at the dead monster, then glanced deeper into the dark, uncharted expanses of the Ash Wastes.
This ravine wasn't a grave. It was an armory.
"Keep hiding on your thrones, elders," Kael said softly, as the crimson system screen reflected in his eyes. "By the time I climb out of this pit, even your Gods will bow."

Discarded Alpha: The God Lord's Awakening Chapter 56 The Holy Node Shattered
The central vault beneath the Radiant Cathedral Spire was quiet, isolated from the cheering crowds celebrating in the streets four hundred feet above.At the center of the subterranean chamber sat the Sun-Altar of Valen—a twenty-foot monolithic structure forged from ancient white stone, brass conduits, and spell-reinforced gold plating. At its center suspended a floating, basketball-sized sphere of blinding, raw solar-mana. It was the primary elemental anchor for the entire Eastern Marches, a node created during the First Divine Era to channel compressed light-energy directly into Empress Vespera’s regional network.Kael stood before the pulsing altar, his dark mantle brushing against the marble steps. Flanking him were Lyra and Guildmaster Vane, who watched the swirling white-hot sphere with a mixture of awe and nervous tension.[ TARGET IDENTIFIED: SUN-ALTAR OF VALEN ] * Type: Regional Light Ley-Node (Class 2) * Energy Density: 180,000 / 180,000 Concentrated
Discarded Alpha: The God Lord's Awakening Chapter 55 Siege Of Grand Valen Part 2
The screams of battle from the lower district echoed up the towering white marble face of the Radiant Cathedral Spire. Four hundred feet above the burning cobblestones, the high observation parapet was shrouded in a swirling vortex of superheated, blood-red solar energy.At the center of the parapet stood High Inquisitor Gabriel—now transformed into the Arch-Inquisitor.Driven to absolute madness by the collapse of the city’s lower defenses, Gabriel had plunged the ruby master key directly into his own chest, forcibly draining the central Sun-Altar’s unrefined power. His white robes were shredded, replaced by a terrifying exoskeleton of molten gold and calcified light. His eyes burned like twin miniature suns, and in his right hand, he held a seven-foot Greatsword of Solar Retribution that radiated waves of blistering heat capable of melting solid granite.[ TARGET INTEL: ARCH-INQUISITOR GABRIEL ] * Form: Sun-Altar Overdrive (Level 38 Corrupted Divine Entity) *
Discarded Alpha: The God Lord's Awakening Chapter 54 Siege Of Grand Valen
The first golden rays of dawn pierced the heavy morning fog surrounding Grand Valen, illuminating the massive white granite ramparts of the Holy Gateway City.High atop the three-hundred-foot outer wall, Inquisitorial watchmen scanned the rolling western plains. Suddenly, the ground beneath their boots began to vibrate in a steady, rhythmic thunder.Emerging from the treeline of the western marshes was the heavy iron fist of the Sovereign Vanguard. Garrick rode at the absolute front of a three-thousand-strong heavy cavalry column, his broad shoulders clad in refined gold-alloy plate, his massive spiked warhammer resting across his saddle bow. Flanking his cavalry were two hundred Radiant Vanguard paladins—cleansed former imperial soldiers whose silver shields now bore the dark crescent-and-star crest of Kael Bloodmoon."SIEGE FORMATION!" Garrick’s deep voice bellowed across the valley, amplified by his World Shield aura. "SUN-BANE BALLISTAE, DEPLOY!"[ COMBAT INITIAT
Discarded Alpha: The God Lord's Awakening Chapter 53 The Flame Of Defiance
The abandoned marble amphitheater of the Lower Sun District sat shrouded in the midnight fog, its towering arches cracked and overgrown with dark, soot-stained ivy. Once used for imperial holy lectures, the forgotten ruins now served as the gathering ground for Grand Valen’s outcasts—over a thousand beastkin refugees, rogue cultivators, destitute merchants, and liberated prisoners.Torches flickered along the broken stone tiers, casting long, nervous shadows across the anxious crowd. A tense, quiet fear hung in the damp air; every person present knew that being caught in an unsanctioned assembly meant immediate public execution by High Inquisitor Gabriel’s Purifiers.Standing atop the central raised dais, Elder Varis raised his withered feline hands to quiet the murmuring crowd. Beside him stood Ronald, the former paladin captain, his newly re-armed rogue paladins keeping watch along the broken perimeter walls."People of the East!" Elder Varis’s voice echoed softly thro
Discarded Alpha: The God Lord's Awakening Chapter 51 The Inquisitorial Hunt
The air inside the lower catacombs beneath Grand Valen was cold, stale, and thick with the heavy scent of damp earth and old incense.For three days, the black-market distribution of Purified Sovereign Cores had spread through the lower tiers of the Holy Gateway City like wildfire. The Church's solar gems sat unsold in state-controlled vaults, their inflated prices rendered absurd by the sudden influx of high-density, tax-free mana crystals.High Inquisitor Gabriel had not taken the economic disruption lightly.A mile beneath the Silver Coin Tavern, inside a sprawling subterranean junction carved from rough-hewn granite, three hundred Inquisitorial Purifiers marched in tight formation. They wore heavy, black-and-silver plate mail, their visors down, and their weapons—long silver spears tipped with volatile solar-flame runes—illuminated the dark tunnels with a harsh, flickering orange light.Leading the column was High Inquisitor Gabriel himself. He was a tall, gaunt
Discarded Alpha: The God Lord's Awakening Chapter 52 The Silver Prison Heist
The Silver Prison of Aethel was an imposing three-hundred-foot bastion of white granite, built directly into the steep cliffs overlooking the roaring river on Grand Valen’s eastern edge.Designed specifically to contain high-tier political dissidents, rogue paladins, and beastkin scholars, the fortress was enclosed by spell-reinforced iron bars and anchored directly into the city's holy mana grid. Inquisitorial guards watched every passageway, while anti-teleportation runes burned along the cold stone floors, ensuring that no spatial magic could breach its lower vaults.Down in the deepest subterranean level—the Dungeon of the Unpurified—the damp air smelled of iron, old straw, and stagnant moisture.Sitting in a cramped, damp iron cell at the end of the lower hallway was Elder Varis, an elderly feline beastkin scholar whose wrists were bound in heavy, anti-mana manacles. Across from his cell, a disgraced former paladin captain named Ronald sat against the cold stone, hi
