"In a world full of bias, neutrality is an invaluable power.
Because only those who side with no one... can choose freely."
— Lucian Veylor
---
Beneath the ruins of an ancient library—where history is forgotten and truth is buried—Lucian stood before a being unrecorded in any holy scripture.
Thoros.
The Keeper of Ancient Knowledge Fragments.
The guardian of absolute neutrality.
A judge of fate who remained silent... unless the world truly began to rot.
“Lucian Veylor,” the voice was deep, hoarse, and echoed through dimensions.
“Others seek your destruction. Yet you come bearing... an offer.”
Lucian neither bowed nor flinched.
“I’m not here to seek forgiveness.
I’m here to offer... a possibility.”

Thoros stared into him.
“You use a system, but you control it.
You wield fate, but you bend it.”
Lucian’s smile was cold and precise.
“Because fate only wins...
when the living stop asking questions.”
From beneath his dark cloak, Lucian produced an ancient scroll—written in a language older than the gods themselves.

Thoros narrowed his eyes, reading it without touching—only watching.
> “You want me to dissolve the seals of the Central Spire...
and sow doubt into the very core of their belief?”
Lucian nodded slowly.
“I don’t ask you to take a side.
I ask you to become... a catalyst.”

Thoros looked to the heavens—a thin crack forming in the divine skyline.
“If you betray the balance...
I will be the one to erase your existence.”
Lucian answered without hesitation:
“If you can.”
---
Elsewhere, prophets fell into confusion.
The skies dimmed.
And for the first time in millennia...
the prophecies of the gods began to tremble.
---
The atmosphere in the ruins shifted. Time slowed. The winds stilled. Everything froze—except for the two beings facing each other.
Thoros opened his eyes fully—gray orbs like mirrors of fog, revealing both future and past.
“Lucian Veylor,” he intoned again, deeper, more ancient,
“Once this path opens, there is no return.”
Lucian didn’t blink.
“When has the world ever given me a way back?”
At that instant, the ground beneath them cracked faintly, releasing a subtle purple glow.
Above the sky, dimensional fragments peeled open for a heartbeat—dozens of nameless eyes watching... then vanishing.

Thoros circled Lucian slowly.
“Many come to me with power.
Few come with purpose.
But only you... arrive bearing a rot so subtle, it almost feels holy.”
Lucian smirked.
“Because the most perfect chaos...
is the one the world believes is order.”
Thoros raised a hand to the sky. A shard of black light descended, hovering above his palm.
“This... is the Nucleus of Null.
A catalyst of prophecy disruption.
A weapon so feared, even the gods dare not name it.”
Lucian extended his hand, touching it without hesitation.

Thoros stood before him once more.
“From this moment on, the heavens will notice you.
But they will also watch you.”
Lucian replied, dead calm:
“Let them watch all they want.
I’m the one rewriting their script.”
---
As Lucian departed the ruins, thunder murmured faintly across the sky.
A voiceless whisper echoed from beyond dimensions...
"The Villain... has touched a fate even the gods dare not face."
---
In the Divine Council, alarms of light blazed.
The High Seers trembled.
Lines of prophecy began writhing, like headless serpents.
