🌌 Previously…
Kael Draven enters Sanctum Arcanis, the divine-tier magic academy, without aura, without crest, and without a place in prophecy.
He defeats a noble-ranked Elementalist using pure cognitive strategy, marking himself as a "Sovereign anomaly" in the eyes of the world.
Headmistress Sira Valen allows his presence not out of respect — but curiosity.
The elites begin watching. Some in awe. Some in fear. Some… in hate.
Now begins the war of bloodlines.

🏛️ Scene 1 – The Crowned Sons Stir
House Serenthos, most powerful bloodline in the eastern kingdom, holds a meeting in the Astral Archive Chamber.
Erian, humiliated before thousands, kneels before his father, Lord Velisar Serenthos, a man who once deflected a god-blade with his gaze.
> "You lost to a nobody."
"A systemless, nameless, crestless trash."
Erian gritted his teeth.
> "He moved like a thought. Not like a man."
Velisar stood.
> "Then we will erase the thought."

📚 Scene 2 – The Class Without a Desk
Kael entered his first sanctioned lecture: 'Fundamentals of Magic Constructs'.
He was given no seat.
No wand.
No robe.
No welcome.
The instructor, a mana-obsessed old sage named Professor Rethin, didn't bother looking at him.
> "Sovereigns are theoretical constructs," he said, addressing the class.
"They cannot exist. Nullbloods have no anchoring pattern. No system compatibility."
Kael raised his hand.
> "Is this a lecture or a myth recital?"
The class gasped.
Rethin snapped toward him.
> "You have no right to speak."
Kael stood.
> "And yet I'm speaking louder than your gods did when I killed their dream-hound."
Silence.
Even mana drifted away from him in fear.

⚔️ Scene 4 – Ambush Duel: No Rules, No Witnesses
That night, Kael was ambushed in the Obsidian Garden, the place where noble scions duelled without supervision.
Three opponents:
Erian Val Serenthos – Rank 29 Sword Saint Initiate
Caldria the Shapebinder – Rank 25 Morph-Mage
Thoros Gildenhelm – Rank 28 Heavy Paladin
They didn't speak. Just attacked.
Kael let them.
The first blade swung — but missed, curving midair.
> [Tyrant's Bloom Activated]
— Erian saw a vision of his throat being slit… again… and again.
He hesitated.
Kael didn't.
SLASH.
No-Shadow Edge tore through armor, cutting between time and thought.
Caldria tried to bind him with flesh-twine — Kael activated Mirrorborn I.
Her spell hit a false Kael — and backfired, breaking her own rib.
Thoros roared, smashing a hammer that could fracture mana constructs.
Kael didn't dodge.
He triggered Echo Form: Final Aarav — immune to flame, hyper-focus state.
BOOM.
Thoros blinked. His hammer shattered on Kael's defense field, which wasn't magic — it was logic reinforced.
> "You're all predictable."
He whispered like thunder.
> "And I've already rehearsed your deaths."

🧠 Scene 5 – The Core's New Voice
> [Sovereign Core: Sync Level 14% Achieved]
New Voice Accessed:
✴️ V.O.X. – Verbalized Observation eXecution System
> "Welcome back, Kael."
"You're not just reacting anymore. You're composing."
Kael stood over the three fallen elite blood heirs.
He wasn't even bleeding.
V.O.X. continued:
> "Begin Phase Shift Preparation:
If you reach Sync 20%, the world will no longer be able to ignore your class."
> "Because your class…
is Author of Ruin."

👁️ Scene 6 – The Oracle Blinks
In the Temple of Eyes, far above the mortal continents, an oracle awoke screaming.
> "He has no fate line."
"He is writing new endings into old legends."
"The Sovereign is no longer a crack.
He is a sword aimed at the spine of prophecy."
