Time passed.
How much time no longer mattered. After the sealing of the dark fragment, the multiverse continued forward, shaped by the remaining ten percent of the Creator’s power. That power divided into two fragments—white and black.
The black fragment became corruption, birthing demons and dark souls that were later sealed away.
The white fragment became stability.
From it rose countless races across the multiverse. Some were weak. Some were gifted. Some could heal, some could transform, some could wield strength beyond reason. Among them stood a race that carried a far greater portion of the white fragment than the rest—a warrior race born for dominance.
They were called the Aurelith.
From within that race, a child was born who did not follow the natural order.
His name was Caelis Aurelion.
From the moment his life began, his power was abnormal. While other Aurelith required years of discipline to awaken their strength, Caelis advanced at an unnatural pace. His growth was not limited to the body alone—his instincts, control, and awareness matured far beyond his peers.
By the time others reached adulthood, Caelis had already surpassed experienced warriors.
The elders of the Aurelith did not ignore this.
They chose him.
Caelis was admitted into the elite forces of the Aurelith, trained not merely as a soldier, but as proof of the race’s superiority. He accepted his role without hesitation. Fighting was purpose. Obedience was order. Questioning was weakness.

Years passed, and Caelis reached his prime.
He rose through the elite ranks until command rested in his hands. As leader of the Aurelith elite commando, he carried out missions across the multiverse—subjugation, conquest, destruction. Planets that resisted were crushed. Those who submitted were enslaved.
This was order.
This was duty.
Until one mission changed everything.
The target was a distant world—one that carried the Creator’s power like all others, but not shaped into warriors. Its inhabitants were varied, among them a race capable of transformation. Though many of them possessed that ability, most were forbidden from using it. Transformation required emotional awakening, sacrifice, and resolve—qualities suppressed by fear and rule.
The Aurelith descended to enforce domination.
Resistance came anyway.
From the ruins, one of them transformed.
Driven by desperation and love, a single shapeshifter broke the restraint placed upon his kind. His body twisted, reshaping into a massive wolf form, overflowing with power born not from training, but emotion. He stood before the warriors, not to conquer—but to protect a single house behind him.
His strength was enough to push back elite commanders.
Caelis stepped forward.
With open palms, he released his power.
The blast was absolute.
It tore through the wolf, continued beyond him, and destroyed the house he had been protecting. The force did not stop until everything in its path was erased.
Silence followed.
When the dust settled, Caelis walked forward.
The wolf lay broken.
The house was gone.
Within the ruins lay bodies—his family. Innocent. Lifeless. Destroyed in an instant.
Only then did the truth reach him.
The wolf had not attacked them.
He had defended them.
They were not enforcing order.
They were destroying lives.
Something inside Caelis fractured.
For the first time, doubt replaced obedience.
Why do we fight?
Why do we obey?
Why do we destroy those who never threatened us?
Standing amid the aftermath of his own power, Caelis Aurelion realized something he had never allowed himself to consider before.
He was not a hero.
He was a weapon.
And that knowledge would change everything.
Author’s Note:
This chapter is meant to show the cost of blind obedience and the moment when a warrior begins to doubt the system that raised him. Nothing changes instantly — this is only the beginning of Caelis Aurelion’s inner conflict.
The consequences of this mission will shape everything that follows.
Thank you for reading.
