The seven entities stood before him, each unleashing their own domain — as if seven wounds were being torn open in the fabric of the world:
1. Nirova — Domain of Silent Demise: where every sound dies before it's heard, even the echo of one's heart.
2. Zaphir — Domain of Eternal Echo: where every strike repeats a thousand times, with no end in sight.
3. Morphal — Domain of the Embodied Void: where nothingness itself takes form to tear apart all that exists.
4. Serath — Domain of Ashen Time: where time around him burns to ash, and only he can move within it.
5. Liora — Domain of Luminous Oblivion: a deadly beauty that erases existence with a single glance.
6. Draken — Domain of Crimson Reign: every drop of blood that falls recreates him, stronger than before.
7. Eirthal — Domain of Dark Desire: where he commands the desires of his foes until they destroy themselves.
Their domains intertwined in the heavens, as if the world itself were fracturing from within — darkness devouring darkness.
Kim stood motionless, his eyes glowing with the dim silver of an eclipse, a faint smile gracing his face.
Inside, he knew he was the only one who had yet to discover the full power of his own domain.
He had used the Domain of Eclipse only once — and nearly died that day.
But now, seeing them before him, he felt that what stirred within him didn't need understanding… only release.
He spoke in a voice that sounded like a prophecy from the void:
> "A god doesn't need to know his limits… for limits were made for the weak."
"You are seven, and I am one… yet within me scream ten thousand souls — all thirsting for blood."
The ground beneath him began to split, and behind him rose a black crescent that cleaved the sky in two.
Light itself began to retreat before the march of shadow.
One of the princes cried out:
> "Beware! He's summoning his Domain!"
But Kim lifted his hand and whispered, almost to himself:
> "You seek the throne? Then come and take it… if any of you remain to speak after that."
Then the sky exploded once more — and thus began what would later be known as The War of the Seven Heirs,
a war unlike any witnessed by light or darkness,
where Kim fought against those born to rule the shadow…
to prove that the one born from nothing does not inherit the throne — he forges it with his own blood.
