Chapter 4: The Path of Blood and Gold
วันที่เผยแพร่:
2026-08-12 19:55:05Torin took two steps back, his boots splashing in the mud. The confidence that had filled him moments ago was gone, replaced by raw survival instinct.
"You're a dead man, Kael," Torin spat, though his voice lacked conviction. "The elders... the Alpha... they won't let a traitor walk."
"The elders sent three scouts to murder a defenseless man in the dark," Kael said, stepping over the corpses. "The only traitors in the Bloodmoon Pack are the ones sitting on thrones."
Torin didn't wait any longer. With a desperate snarl, he tapped into his wolf spirit. Muscles bulged along his arms, coarse grey fur erupted across his skin, and his jaw elongated into a snout filled with fangs. Fully transformed into his demi-wolf state, he lunged at Kael with blinding speed, his heavy claws aimed directly at Kael's neck.
[ WARNING: ENEMY ENTERING DEMI-WOLF FORM ]
Target: Torin (Level 6)
Status: Berserk (+20% Attack Speed)
The air whistled as Torin’s claws tore through the empty space where Kael had been standing a fraction of a second before.
Kael’s Eye of the Primordial tracked every movement effortlessly. Even with the berserk boost, Torin’s attacks were wild, sloppy, and driven by panic.
Kael ducked under a sweeping left claw, pivoted on his heel, and drove a low kick straight into the back of Torin’s knee.
CRACK.
Torin roared in pain as his leg buckled, dropping him onto one knee. Before the demi-wolf could turn, Kael grabbed him by the throat from behind, squeezing with the force of an iron vise.
"This is for my father," Kael whispered into Torin's ear.
With a swift, brutal jerk, Kael snapped Torin's neck.
The heavy grey wolf form dissolved, reverting back into human flesh as the scout's lifeless body collapsed onto the wet stone floor.

Passive Triggered: God-Devouring Aura is extracting target essence...
A thick, concentrated swirl of silver and crimson energy erupted from Torin's chest. Unlike the previous scouts, this stream carried the concentrated bloodline strength of a pack leader. The energy surged into Kael’s chest, burning through his veins like liquid sunlight.

He placed his 5 new free points directly into Sensory, instantly expanding his radar. The distant sounds of the Ash Wastes became crystal clear—he could hear the shifting of ancient ruins miles away and the faint pulse of corrupted magic deep within the canyon.
Kael walked over to Torin’s body and retrieved the Bloodmoon Crest Ring. It was a heavy silver band engraved with the pack's seal, proof of rank among the officers.
This will be useful when I return, Kael thought, slipping it into his inventory.
He turned his back on the bodies and looked deeper into the dark, mist-shrouded expanse of the Ash Wastes. He knew that when these scouts failed to return, High Elder Vane would eventually send stronger hunters, perhaps even full-fledged Executioners.
To destroy the Bloodmoon Pack and reclaim his birthright, Level 4 wouldn't be enough. He needed to venture deeper into the ancient ruins, hunt higher-ranked beasts, and unlock the next stage of the Primordial Core.
Kael adjusted his stance, gripped his dagger, and strode forward into the gloom.

The roof of the central palace shattered inward like thin glass.Kael descended into the grand throne room amidst a shower of colored stained glass and heavy stone tiles. He landed in a crouch, his dark mantle fanning out around him as his boots cracked the polished obsidian floor.The grand hall was lit by dozens of flickering golden braziers. At the far end, raised on a dais of polished black marble, sat Lord Malakor.The warlord was clad in full imperial plate, his massive flame-saw broadsword resting across his knees. Standing directly beside him, his high-collared robes scorched and torn from his previous defeat at the Iron Ridge, was Grand Inquisitor Valerius. Twenty elite Solar Templars formed a tight perimeter around the dais, their heavy kite shields locked and their broadswords burning with angry orange flames."You brought a riot to my front door, boy," Malakor rumbled, his voice echoing off the high stone pillars. "You think a horde of starving slaves with iron hammers can

The air in the Ashen Basin had changed. The sulfurous haze of the Iron Ridge was days behind them, replaced by the crisp, biting chill of the higher desert plateaus.Kael sat cross-legged atop a flat granite ledge overlooking the encampment. Fifty shadow scouts and the remnants of the forward vanguard had made camp in a dry riverbed, completely hidden beneath the jagged ridge. Down below, small, smokeless fires flickered as warriors sharpened silver blades and checked the bindings on their Solar-Refined Alloy chest plates.Kael closed his eyes, turning his attention inward.Deep within his chest, the Stage 2 Primordial Sovereign Core was humming like a contained star. Small, brilliant tendrils of golden energy leaped across its surface, fusing with his lungs, his heart, and the very marrow of his bones.[ PRIMORDIAL CORE INTEGRATION: 99.8% ] Status: Stage 2 Limit Reached System Alert: Host level (Level 24) satisfies criteria for Core Ascension.

The deep, metallic grinding of ancient stone against stone reverberated through the very bedrock of the Iron Ridge crater.The forty-foot Ancient Obsidian Behemoth was no longer just a dormant relic of a bygone divine era. Its massive dragon-like head swayed slowly, two hollow eye sockets blazing with an blinding crimson light as hundreds of gallons of superheated liquid fire surged through its copper conduits.The copper cables tethering the monster to the central cauldron snapped one by one under immense tension, whipping through the air like lethal copper snakes and instantly vaporizing the Sunken guards caught in their path.[ CRITICAL THREAT DETECTED ] Entity: Ancient Obsidian Behemoth (Active — Core Capacity: 98%) Threat Level: Level 25 World Construct Armor Rating: Divine Basalt Plating (Ignores 70% Physical Damage) System Alert: Core Overcharge Imminent!"Hahaha!

Discarded Alpha: The God Lord's Awakening Chapter 27: The Cradle Of Obsidian
The Iron Ridge was not a mountain, but a gaping wound in the desert crust.Spanning two miles across, the colossal volcanic crater plunged hundreds of feet into the subterranean dark, its jagged basalt cliffs stained crimson by the sulfurous smog billowing from below. Down in the hollowed bed of the pit, hundreds of iron torches and mana-lanterns burned like a sea of angry orange eyes.Hidden among the jagged obsidian outcroppings along the northern rim, Kael crouched beside Lyra and Seth. Below them, a strike force of fifty shadow scouts lay motionless, wrapped in dust-colored cloaks that blended perfectly with the parched rock.Kael adjusted his grip on the hilt of the Sovereign Shadow Blade. His enhanced Sensory stat, now elevated by his recent stat point allocations, flooded his mind with a staggering array of input: the rhythmic thrum of heavy iron pickaxes striking stone, the deep, gut-rumbling vibrations of subterranean magma conduits, and the harsh, barking orders of Sunken of

The smoke from Fortress Oakhaven’s burning siege engines rose like a black pillar into the early morning sky, visible for miles across the Ashen Reach.By mid-afternoon, a long convoy of over eighty captured supply wagons, heavy with grain, medicinal herbs, and ingots of refined iron, rolled through the narrow throat of Sun-Grave Pass under the watchful eyes of Garrick’s cliffside sentries.At the center of the convoy rode Kael. His golden eyes were fixed on the system notifications flickering across his vision as his Stage 2 Primordial Sovereign Core processed the vast territorial gain.[ CAMPAIGN RESULT: OPERATION ASHEN HARVEST ] Primary Objective: Completed (100% Efficiency) Resource Inflow: +9 Months Grain Reserves, +1,500 Iron Bars, +300 Medicinal Cores EXP Gained: +12,500 EXP Current EXP: 16,400 / 25,000[ SYSTEM LEVEL UP! ] Host Level: Level 19 → Level 21 Unallocated Stat Points: +10 Unlocked Class Skill: Sovereign's Aegis (Passive) — Converts 15% of all incoming magi
Discarded Alpha: The God Lord's Awakening Chapter 25: The Red Raid Of Ashen Reach
The moonless expanse of the Ashen Reach stretched out like a sea of red velvet under a cold, star-dusted sky.Ten miles beyond Sun-Grave Pass, the dry desert wind blew across jagged basalt hills, carrying the scent of roasted copper and baked stone. Silent as phantom shadows, seventy mounted figures crested a high sand ridge, their warhorses' hooves wrapped in thick felt strips to muffle the sound against the dry earth.At the head of the column rode Kael.He wore a dark leather mantle lined with Solar-Refined Alloy plating, his long combat boots resting lightly in the stirrups. Beside him rode Lyra, her twin silver daggers bound to her forearms with dark leather wraps, her gaze fixed on the valley below. Behind them, fifty heavy iron-cavalry and twenty shadow scouts waited in absolute, unbroken silence."There it is, My Lord," Lyra whispered, pointing down into the canyon basin with a gloved finger.At the center of the valley sat Fortress Oakhaven.Despite its name, there was no woo
