Chapter 1: The Fallen Star
The night sky shattered193Please respect copyright.PENANAE1QeKf6kuT
A streak of blue-white fire tore across the havens, brighter than any star that had ever appeared above the continent. It wasn't a meteor It was something far older. Something that had been waiting for a thousands of the years...193Please respect copyright.PENANAr3gQONAQTf
The burning object crossed the northern sky and descended toward a vast forest known as the Star Fall Forest.193Please respect copyright.PENANAFvsrxrvRDM
then---193Please respect copyright.PENANAjFS6J80vvY
BOOM!193Please respect copyright.PENANAl9X1az6j1a
The earth trembled. A pillar of the blue light erupted from the forest, illuminating the mountains for the trees.193Please respect copyright.PENANAtOb0iN3LPJ
Magical beasts roared and disappeared into the darkness Even the people living in the nearby the villages woke from their sleep, staring toward the horizon in fear. Some believe the gods had descended. Others whispered that then end of the world had finally arrived.193Please respect copyright.PENANAEUbJ5wCcrD
But no one knew the truth That night Something had awakened And it was about to choose its successor..193Please respect copyright.PENANAVuWGKWyZNY
Three days later, " You're late again Banner."193Please respect copyright.PENANAZSK5M5p1S4
A small stone struck the back of a young man's head.193Please respect copyright.PENANAffV8aJ05do
"ow!"193Please respect copyright.PENANA2dAQnDQ8ic
Banner rubbed his head and tuned around, An elderly man stood at the entrance of a small wooden house, holding a wooden walking stick.193Please respect copyright.PENANA7ms3ttS3sp
"grandpa, I wasn't late." "You were supposed to deliver the herbs an hour ago"193Please respect copyright.PENANAfuX3Py9vod
Banner glanced at the basket hanging from his shoulder 193Please respect copyright.PENANAzjFlD4GaFM
"Oh." 193Please respect copyright.PENANA9WOIzJkGtC
The old man's expression darkened "don't "oh" me."193Please respect copyright.PENANA6VIm3CByFR
Banner Smiled awkwardly. "Fine. I'll go now."
He picked up the basket and stared walking down the mountain path.193Please respect copyright.PENANA7UEHcrvQKY
Star fall Village was small. Only a few dozen families lived there, surrounded by mountains and forests.193Please respect copyright.PENANAVX2eDNEezD
Nothing ever happened. At least , that was what Banner had always believed. He was seventeen years old He had no powerful family No special bloodline No impressive talent And most importantly-- He had never awakened a Star Core In this world, that meant one thing He was ordinary. People who awakened Star Core could become warriors, adventurers, knights, mages, or even rules.193Please respect copyright.PENANAvcUHTlq6Ya
Those without them could only live ordinary lives, Banner had already accepted his fate Until three nights ago When the star fell---193Please respect copyright.PENANAlA51wvVrBc
The forest was strangely quiet Banner stopped walking He looked around "Where did all the birds go" No answer, Even the wind had disappeared Then he felt it A strange sensation Something was calling him From deep within the forest Banner frowned "Hello" Silence He should have continued toward the village. Instead, he stepped off the path. One step Then another The deeper he went the stronger the sensation became.193Please respect copyright.PENANAvnlrvL0ynM
After nearly half an hour, Banner finally reached a place he had never seen before. An ancient ruin stood among the stress Broken stone pillars surrounded a circular altar. Strange symbols cover the ground At the center of the altar floated a small black crystal. Banner stared at it The crystal was only the size of his fist yet he couldn't look away It was completely black not like ordinary darkness It was as though the crystal contained an endless night sky.
Banner slowly approached His heartbeat became faster "What's happening to me?" The crystal suddenly moved It floated toward him Banner froze.193Please respect copyright.PENANAwww9lvzbT5
then---193Please respect copyright.PENANAKt5IyvxeDI
A voice echoed inside his mind193Please respect copyright.PENANASIavpTSggH
<"Life-form detected.">193Please respect copyright.PENANANKm8ubf3HU
Banner's eyes widened "Who's there?" 193Please respect copyright.PENANAqHS7KzAnD5
<"Bloodline verification initiated.">193Please respect copyright.PENANA9B1F4TKwaO
The ancient rules beneath his feet began glowing One after another193Please respect copyright.PENANAy0IGzYAp1D
"<Soul compatibility...">193Please respect copyright.PENANA33iX2qacT7
A pause193Please respect copyright.PENANAyebWvaarso
<"Confirmed.">
Banner stepped backward 193Please respect copyright.PENANATE5qjTQYOG
"What"193Please respect copyright.PENANAuMcnH8LgQn
The black crystal suddenly shot forward193Please respect copyright.PENANA8y2ezgwfHO
BOOM!193Please respect copyright.PENANAYylCBZpsRv
It entered his chest pain exploded through his entire body193Please respect copyright.PENANAexPI5hgV7L
"AAAAHH"193Please respect copyright.PENANAUPhbtWxxFz
Banner fell to his knees His heart pounded like thunder His veins burned Something was moving inside him Something enormous.193Please respect copyright.PENANAPtkamnhwzk
The ancient ruin began shaking violently Crack spread across the stone altar Above the forest, clouds suddenly gathered 193Please respect copyright.PENANAmNWaUJfQSz
Lighting flashed across the sky and far away---- inside the capital of the Star Empire--
A crystal that had remained dormant for thousands
