All Chapters of Beyond His World: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Silence settled over the sanctuary.The golden beam from the Celestial Heart slowly faded, leaving the newly revealed passage bathed in the soft glow of floating blue crystals. The air carried an ancient power, as though the hidden road had been waiting centuries for someone worthy to awaken it.Liana stared at the enormous stone door at the end of the passage.Her heartbeat refused to slow."The First Trial..." she whispered. "Does that mean there are more?"Commander Rylan stepped beside her, his eyes fixed on the ancient doorway."According to the oldest records, the Road of Guardians is made up of several trials. Only the chosen Guardian has ever reached the Temple of Origins."Kael frowned."And no one ever returned."Liana looked at him."How do you know that?""Because every Guardian disappeared from history."His answer sent a chill down her spine.The Shadow Dragon released a low rumble and walked toward the passage. Instead of entering, it stopped before the doorway and lowe

The crystal bridge shimmered beneath their feet as Kael, Liana, and Commander Rylan cautiously crossed the endless chasm. Beneath them swirled clouds of silver mist, concealing whatever lay below. Every step echoed softly, as though the bridge itself acknowledged their presence. Liana couldn't shake the feeling that unseen eyes were watching them. The Temple of Origins grew larger with every step. Unlike the magnificent palaces of the Celestial Kingdom Kael had described, the temple possessed a quiet majesty. It was carved entirely from white stone that glowed with a gentle golden hue. Massive columns lined its entrance, each engraved with ancient runes that pulsed like living stars. At the center stood two enormous doors adorned with the symbol of two intertwined worlds. "The same symbol..." Liana whispered. Kael nodded. "It represents the covenant between Earth and the Celestial Kingdom." Commander Rylan looked around cautiously. "No temple should be this quiet." Kael plac

The Temple of Origins became eerily quiet. The golden chains that had risen from the marble floor wrapped themselves around every weapon in the chamber before dissolving them into particles of light. Kael instinctively reached for his sword, but his hand grasped only empty air. Across the hall, Lord Malachar frowned. For the first time since his arrival, he looked genuinely unsettled. The ancient voice echoed once more. "Within the Temple of Origins..." "No blade shall decide the future." "Only truth." Liana stood at the center of the glowing circle, her heart pounding so loudly she could barely hear herself think. She looked toward Kael. Then toward Malachar. The voice continued. "Guardian..." "Choose the ruler worthy of the Crown of Eternis." "I can't," Liana whispered. "I don't even belong to your world." The glowing sphere above them pulsed gently. "That is precisely why you were chosen." "Your heart is free from ambition." Kael lowered his eyes. He had never w

The ancient giant's voice echoed throughout the Temple of Origins. "At last..." "The Guardian has returned." Silence swallowed the hall. No one moved. No one breathed. Liana stood frozen beneath the golden glow of the Celestial Heart, her eyes locked with the enormous crimson gaze staring back at her. "I... don't understand," she whispered. "I've never seen you before." The giant's expression remained unreadable beneath its horned helmet. "But I have seen you." Commander Rylan slowly stood. "Impossible." "The Guardian has never existed in our lifetime." The giant ignored him. Its attention never left Liana. "The soul remembers..." "...even when the mind forgets." Those words sent a shiver down her spine. Kael immediately stepped beside her. "What are you talking about?" The giant finally looked at him. "So..." "The bloodline of Asterion still lives." Kael tightened his fists. "Answer my question." A deep sigh escaped the giant. "The answers you seek were bur

The Temple of Origins groaned like a living creature. Massive cracks raced across its towering walls as ancient pillars collapsed one after another. Chunks of glowing marble crashed onto the floor, sending clouds of dust into the air. The magnificent ceiling, once filled with stars, had begun to darken. The darkness beneath the temple was spreading. Liana tightened her grip on the Celestial Heart. Its warm glow pulsed against her palms, as though urging her to move. Commander Rylan struggled to his feet and shouted above the deafening noise. "My Prince!" "We have to retreat!" Kael shook his head. "If the Temple falls..." "So does every seal protecting both worlds." The elderly king nodded gravely. "He speaks the truth." "The Temple of Origins is the foundation of the barrier between Earth and the Celestial Kingdom." "If its Heart is destroyed..." "The two worlds will collide." Liana's eyes widened. "What happens then?" The elderly queen answered softly. "Neither wo
