Immortal Mythos: Bound by Void

---

The sky had been clear just moments ago. But now… it split.

A thunderous crack echoed across the mountains, tearing reality like paper. Time slowed for Yuki, and he felt it again—that pressure, that terrifying pull. But this wasn't like before.

This wasn't the void.

This was something else.

In the distance, Ren, Himari, Aiko, and Haru froze mid-conversation. All of them turned at once, spiritual senses flaring as an unseen ripple burst through the air. They barely had time to react.

Figures cloaked in black mist emerged, their forms barely visible—just flickers of distorted energy. A dark wind swirled, choking the atmosphere.

"What is this…?" Aiko whispered, stepping back. Her aura trembled.

Himari's eyes narrowed. "This isn't from our world."

Before they could escape, chains of black energy surged from the mist—silent, fast, and unrelenting. In an instant, they were gone.

Taken.

Cut to Yuki, Haru, and Nogitsune

Yuki's heart dropped as he saw the sky fracture above the forest. "Ren… Aiko…!"

"They've been taken," Nogitsune said, his voice low and tense. "This energy… it's not human. It's not mythic either."

"We need to move," Haru growled, stepping forward, eyes wild. "We need to save them—!"

But before they could even plan, the space around them began to warp again. This time, Yuki felt it—inviting him.

"Only you," came a disembodied voice, echoing through his head.

Without warning, Yuki was pulled into the rift—his body suspended, vision fading.

Yuki awoke to a landscape of flowing sand and shifting stars. The sky was neither night nor day, but both. Time didn't flow here—it folded.

A voice spoke again, clearer this time. "You must learn what no one else can teach you."

Yuki stood, realizing he was alone… but not weak.

This realm—this timebound training ground—was meant to forge something greater within him. Something new.

Here, he would learn to fuse void manipulation and reality warping into one:

Void Fracture—a state where Yuki could bend and shatter dimensions, but only if he balanced destruction with creation.

But the clock was ticking.

His friends were trapped.

And something worse was coming.
