After the great explosion birthed the universe, The universe needed balance. From the remnants of matter, the Eighteen Elements of Life were formed. Yet among them, only one was known as the Exalted Element—the power most coveted by all living beings: the Noble Element of Earth.
The world sought it from every corner. They were willing to burn the earth and sacrifice souls just to obtain it. But fate, with all its irony and mystery, chose Hiro. This is where the great chaos that will occur begins.
I placed so much hope in him—to bring balance to this chaotic world, and to walk by his side for the rest of his life. But he left me, and my disappointment only grew deeper when those in power rose once again to reclaim their rule.
I failed myself, failed him, and failed everyone around me. I couldn't protect him. I couldn't stay by his side. All I was left with was ruin after his death. My friends fell into deep depression, overwhelmed by stress, withdrawing into isolation.
And I—the one who allowed all of this to happen—could do nothing.
Until that day.
