Ancient World

Reads

In the heart of the Great Wilderness—where night devours the mountains and ancient beasts roam like living storms—lies a single flicker of life: Stone Village, protected only by the glow of a lone jade-green willow branch. Once a mighty tree, now a lightning-scarred stump, it stands as the last barrier between humanity and the primordial horrors that stalk the dark. When colossal birds blot out the moon and golden-scaled giants stride between the peaks, even the mountains tremble. Shadows as tall as gods wander the valleys, their presence enough to silence every creature of the night. Yet Stone Village remains untouched—watched over by a divine light whose origin no one truly knows. At dawn, the village awakens in innocence. Children train beneath the rising sun, unaware of the cosmic forces gathering beyond their home. Among them toddles a small boy—barely able to walk, yet strangely radiant, as if born with the breath of the ancient world itself. But whispered tremors travel through the mountains. Something stirs. Something awakens. And soon, this peaceful village will learn that the wilderness is changing… That an ancient destiny has chosen one child— and the world will never be the same.
