In the dawn of existence, before the gods withdrew from the affairs of mortals, Kalyana AtyantaGoddess of Eternal Transcendence

  The gods did not create them separately; they were all part of one great whole, a single concept shattered into fragments so that no single entity, not even the gods themselves, could wield absolute control over them. These relics were scattered across Paradox Earth

  These relics took the form of gemsEternal ShardsKalyana Atyanta’s

  Each gem was unique, radiating with its own light and purpose. There was the Crimson Shard of ConflictSapphire Shard of StillnessGolden Shard of ChangeOnyx Shard of ShadowsEmerald Shard of Boundaries

  And at the center of them all, the Prismatic Shard of Eternity

  The gods entrusted these shards to the world, knowing that in time, they would call upon a mortal worthy of wielding them. For the gods had made a decision—they would no longer interfere in the affairs of mortals.

  But the world, in its imperfection, began to crumble.

  A great imbalance was spreading across Paradox Earththe Abyss

  And so, the gods chose a hero

  Erias, the Chosen of the Eternal Shards

  He had lost everything—his home, his family, his past, all swallowed by the great fractures of reality. He had survived by sheer will alone, crossing the shattered lands of Paradox Earth, enduring the storms of unraveling time. He had seen villages disappear into nothingness, had watched people vanish as if they had never existed. He had lived through moments that should not have been possible, stepping into places where time stood still, where the echoes of lost civilizations whispered through the air.

  And through it all, he had not broken.

  The gods watched him. They saw a soul unyielding, one who did not beg for salvation, who did not crumble under despair. They saw in him a mortal who did not seek power, yet possessed the heart to wield it.

  One night, beneath a sky split with the cracks of unraveling stars, Kalyana Atyanta

  “Erias, wanderer of the broken lands, you have walked the path of ruin and yet you stand.

  He knelt, not out of worship, but because the weight of her presence was too vast to bear.

  “The world is falling apart, and the gods will not save it.first of the Eternal ShardsSapphire Shard of Stillness

  “You will take the shards. You will gather them, and in doing so, you will restore balance. You are not a god, nor are you divine. You are mortal, and that is why you must be the one to do this.

  Erias did not hesitate. He took the shard, and at that moment, his journey truly began.

  His path was one of trials.

  Each shard granted him power, but with each came a burden. The knowledge within them threatened to break his mind, for they were not mere artifacts—they were fragments of Kalyana Atyanta’s

  But Erias endured.

  He fought against creatures born from the unraveling—the Voidborn

  And at last, after years of struggle, after crossing the shattered lands, the broken seas, the skies torn by time, he reached the final threshold—the place where the Prismatic Shard of Eternity

  Here, Kalyana Atyanta

  “You have walked the path of mortals and gods alike,” she said. “You have seen the truth that many fear, yet you do not turn away.”

  Erias, weary but unbroken, met her gaze.

  “The world still needs saving.”

  She smiled, a flicker of something eternal in her expression.

  “Then take the final shard, and with it, forge the balance anew.”

  He reached forward, and as his fingers touched the Prismatic Shard

  The world trembled. The fractures stilled. Time, for the first time in an age, became whole once more.

  And Erias, the wanderer, the chosen, the mortal who had walked the path of gods, was no longer just a man. He was legend.

  He was the hero who held eternity in his hands.
