The night was quiet and calm, yet the bustling capital city of Halveran remained undisturbed.
People moved through the city center, creating a lively, almost enchanting scene.
The moon shone brightly, and a sea of stars adorned the sky, as if painted onto a vast, dark canvas.
Then, without warning, a black portal tore open in the skies above the capital.
From within, a man in a black cloak emerged, stepping out with grace and composure.
Moments later, two more figures—a man and a woman—followed him through the portal.
They were none other than Arnold and Malverna, loyal subordinates of Nolan.
Unlike the composed and indifferent Arnold, Malverna looked terrified, cold sweat forming on her brow.
Her face—once full of pride—was now clouded with fear and suspicion.
She stared at the back of the cloaked man ahead of her and muttered under her breath, Nolan... is actually the Singularity of Chaos?
