Chapter 31 – The Abyss Throne
Kael and Lyria reached the center of the Forbidden Lands: a colossal throne made of black obsidian, pulsing with Abyss energy.
> System Alert: Extreme Abyss Concentration Detected
The Abyss Throne called to Kael, promising ultimate power—but at a dangerous cost.
—This… this is the source —Kael whispered, awe and fear mingling in his voice.
Chapter 32 – Guardians of the Abyss
Suddenly, spectral guardians rose from the throne's shadows: massive figures wielding Abyss energy.

The guardians fell one by one, but Kael realized that the throne's true power had not yet revealed itself.

Chapter 34 – Betrayal in the Shadows
A familiar figure appeared: Rylan. But his demeanor was different—cold, distant.
—The Abyss belongs to those who dare seize it —Rylan declared, attacking Kael unexpectedly.

The betrayal forced Kael and Lyria to adapt quickly. The fight pushed their abilities to the edge, teaching Kael **the cost of trust in a world ruled by Abyss power**.

The energy subsided, leaving Kael standing before the throne, stronger than ever. But the Abyss whispered:
