Unrivaled in another world

Chapter 29: A Reason



[: 3rd POV :]

The air in the throne room hung heavy with silence.

The corpses of elite warriors and generals lay sprawled across the glimmering obsidian floor like broken statues, their lifeless eyes staring into nothing.

Mana still crackled faintly in the air—remnants of spells that never had the chance to be cast.

At the centre of it all, Daniel stood calm, composed, shrouded in a quiet aura of annihilation.

Across the grand chamber, the King, tall, imposing, crowned in golden horns and draped in battle-scarred regalia, stared at him, his expression unreadable.

But the tension in his shoulders, the way his clawed fingers tightened around the hilt of his colossal blade, betrayed the storm building beneath his surface.

He had just witnessed the impossible.

Hundreds of his finest warriors, extinguished in less than a breath.

By one mortal.

"…Who are you?" the King finally asked, voice low, guttural, strained with both disbelief and rising fury.

Daniel met his gaze, his silver-violet eyes glowing faintly, not with rage, but with something colder.

"It's funny," Daniel said, his tone casual, almost amused.

"To think that beings like you have forgotten. After everything you did... after you conquered my world's continent."

The King's eyes widened, just a fraction—barely noticeable, but enough.

A memory flickered.

A continent far beyond the veil of this realm.

A Gate.

The blood of conquest.

A land once vibrant… left silent.

"You…" the King muttered, his voice trailing off in disbelief. "You speak of the Forbidden Continent… the one that was sealed… centuries ago…"

"No," Daniel corrected. "Thousands of years ago."

The King's expression darkened, the weight of history crashing against the present.

"Impossible," he whispered. "That place was sealed forever. My ancestors swore it. None were meant to pass through—none were meant to return."

"And yet," Daniel said, spreading his arms slightly, "here I am."

Silence fell again.

The Queen watched with narrowed eyes, her children gripping the edges of their seats, unsure whether to flee or scream.

"So…" the King began slowly, narrowing his eyes.

"You've come for revenge, then?"

Daniel tilted his head.

"Not really. Revenge is personal"

He took a single step forward.

"I'm just here to remove a pest," he said.

"An old disturbance that should've been wiped out long ago."

The King's wings twitched as he rose slowly from his obsidian throne.

His blade crackled with heat as it lifted from its pedestal, runes awakening across its surface.

"But only you?" the King scoffed, his tone cold and mocking. "What kind of fool are you?"

He gestured around the hall, motioning to the fallen.

"You don't think you're the first, do you?" the King sneered. "Before the seal, hundreds—thousands came. Brave warriors, champions, cursed avengers, divine-sent heroes… All fell. None returned."

"What makes you think that a single mortal could make a difference?"

Daniel didn't flinch.

His smirk returned, but there was no humour behind it—just certainty.

"Because unlike them…" he said, voice calm, "I didn't come here to win."

The King paused, confused.

"I came here… to erase," Daniel finished, the last word a whisper that echoed like thunder.

"You killed my men. Instantly," the King said, circling slowly now, sword dragging against the floor with a hiss of mana.

"Impressive. But do you think you're all-powerful?"

"You sound like someone clinging to pride," Daniel replied. "Not power."

The King stopped. His eyes burned with contempt. "Sounds to me like you don't even know the true nature of a world''

''You're walking blind in a land of secrets… and you don't even care."

Daniel simply nodded. "Correct."

"…What?"

"I don't need to know your secrets," Daniel said.

"Because eventually, everything comes to me. Power. Truth. Enemies. Fate. It all shows up, whether I search or not."

"Insolent." The King's voice became venom.

"No wonder your world remained the 'same', arrogant, blind and weak."

"And yet it still took your entire kingdom to destroy it and the other gates", Daniel replied coldly. "Funny."

"Whatever you are," the King growled, lifting his blade into the air, "you've come to the wrong place."

The Queen stood, her magic gathering at her fingertips, her crown glowing ominously.

"And now," the King snarled, "you will fall."

Daniel's expression sharpened.

"So be it."

As the atmosphere grew tenser, the runes on the King's obsidian blade began to shimmer violently, reacting to his rising intent.

The Queen's aura unfurled beside him, dark and elegant, her wings spreading wide as ancient serpent runes coiled down her arms.

Daniel's gaze sharpened, his irises igniting with spirals of silver-violet galaxies.

He raised his hand casually toward the royal pair.

Daniel's eyes glowed brighter as he finished reading.

"…SSS Rank," he muttered, a faint grin tugging at his lips. "Nearly nine thousand levels. That's new."

He tilted his head, then muttered to himself.

"Poison class, serpent bloodlines, venom-imbued blessings, domain auras… yeah, this will be fun."

His gaze lifted again, eyes locking on the King and Queen who were now surrounded by tendrils of pure serpentine power, their auras twisting into the shape of coiling dragons.

"Let's begin," Daniel whispered.

The world around them began to tremble.
