Legacy of Hero: Rise of Kairon

The sun was setting over HeroCity as the young heroes said goodbye to their partners.Ryan waved shyly at Annie, his face still red from his confession the day before.Ethan exchanged knowing smiles with Eliara, while Ryu winked at Abby like he was in a romantic anime.

Back at the Stormbreak Mansion, the night began cheerfully.Rose Eldara was finishing up a special dinner — aura-infused lasagna — while the three boys laughed in the backyard.

— "You guys heard about the new hero couple??" — Ryu shouted teasingly.

— "Our very own 'Yan' and Annie!" — Ethan added, cracking everyone up.

Ryan lowered his head, embarrassed.

Just then, Inavy arrived home, visibly exhausted. Rose greeted him warmly at the door.

— "I've never been this tired in my life, Rose... Our Saddie was at her prime today."

— "I'm glad. She's your daughter, after all." — Rose laughed.

Inavy walked toward the backyard, watching the boys play. A smile escaped his lips.Beside him, Rose said softly:

— "Good times... back when you, me, and Darius used to do this. You two were such idiots. Well… Darius still is."

Inavy chuckled, a touch of nostalgia in his eyes.

— "Yeah..."

After dinner, everyone went to their rooms.Before sleeping, Ryan received a message from Annie:"Goodnight, my hero 💙"He smiled.It would be the last time he'd see that emoji with peace in his heart.

🌌 The Dream — The Creator's Cry

Ryan opened his eyes in a strange place — a dark void with inverted stars.It was as if the sky had been turned inside out.A low hum echoed like time itself vibrating.

A figure appeared — tall, glowing blonde hair, eyes green and intense like hope itself.Ryan recognized the silhouette.

— "Ray Stormbreak?"

The man shook his head.

— "No. I am the one who began all things… I am Yon."

Ryan's eyes widened.

— "Yon...? So you're… a god?"

— "Yes. I created Chaos, Darkness, Divine Light... and my final prayer: the Reversum."

Ryan staggered back.

— "Then... you gave me this power?"

— "Yes. I chose you, Ryan Valeborn. A nobody. A boy with no lineage, no aura.Because the Reversum had to be born outside the war of great names.It had to be… human."

Ryan fell to his knees, tears running down his face.

— "But… why does it hurt me? Why does it make me see the ones I love… dying?I don't want this burden!"

Yon stepped closer.

— "It's a choice. Either you grow stronger… or the Reversum will consume you.The decision is yours."

Ryan remembered Diana's words:

"This Reversum… isn't just power. It's purpose.And it will either consume you... or save you."

— "Ryan," Yon said, kneeling beside him,— "protect the humans. Protect the ones you love. Please."

Ryan took a deep breath, wiped his tears, and stood up.

— "Stand up, Yon." — His eyes gleamed galaxy-blue.— "I'll protect everyone. Even if it costs my life. Because..."

— "I am a hero."

Yon smiled — and vanished.

🛡️ Phoenix Guild HQ — Threat Alert

Zen, now fully recovered, was sipping tea in the guild when the door opened.

— "Yo, Darius. What is it?"

— "Come on, Zen! A little respect — call me Sensei!" — Darius laughed.— "Anyway... A village outside HeroCity is being attacked by an alien. Go check it out with the team."

— "Why aren't you going?"

— "Got a big-league meeting. You're in charge today. Congrats!"

— "Tch... fine. But I'm going alone. The kids deserve some rest."

Darius winked:

— "Then I'll send Dante with you."

Later, as they left the guild...

— "Look who's tagging along," said Dante, arriving.

— "Who?" — asked Zen.

— "Me." — Kane appeared, arms crossed. — "Let's end that beast."

— "But you're on break..."

— "Real heroes don't get breaks. Let's move."

Zen sighed.

— "These damn kids..."

🔥 The Arrival of Bhor

The Earth trembled.

In the village beyond HeroCity, Bhor — now a Supreme Herald — appeared.His body radiated distorted aura.The cowardice was gone — replaced by arrogance.

He raised his arm — and a beam wiped out half the village.

— "Kairon gave me this power… and now I'm invincible!"

Zen, Kane, and Dante arrived.The battle was coming.

🧠 Heroes' Sanctuary — Emergency Meeting

Darius, Inavy, Diana, Rose, Kelvin, Lorien, and other veterans gathered in the Sanctuary.

Inavy stood, serious:

— "They took the Spear of Destiny... This changes everything."

Lorien, arms crossed:

— "It was definitely one of them... from Kairon's army."

Diana clenched her fists:

— "We're out of time. We must prepare the young ones.The inevitable… has come."
