Elian was one of the most powerful warriors of his time. His best friend, who had been through so much with him, became his brother in spirit and an ally in battle. But one day their paths diverged. Elian became too dangerous — not only for the world, but for himself. In a battle where they faced each other, his friend, realizing that Elian could destroy everything around him, made a decision: to seal him in a barrier created specifically for him.

This barrier was not just a prison, but a space where time did not exist. Elian was locked in a void where he neither aged nor lived. His mind changed, and his body became something else. He communicated with shadows and entities within the barrier that altered him. He was neither human nor something entirely foreign.

One day, the barrier shattered. The reasons behind this remained a mystery. Perhaps Elian had grown stronger than the barrier, or perhaps someone from the outside deliberately destroyed it. The world he knew had changed. He found himself in a place where no one remembered him. But his enemies — those who had sealed him — were still alive, and they were beginning their hunt.

Elian was no longer sure that his release had been a blessing. He could not forget his friend, who had become his enemy. His goal was to find the one who had sealed him, to understand why it had happened and what lay behind that decision. But with every passing moment, he realized that his power and his transformations were unsettling him. He was no longer human, and his path now might lead to the destruction of everything.

Elian — a prisoner who had become something else — and his return marked the beginning of a new era. Sometimes, It seems that Elian is not from this world.

Elian stood before the soldier, who was still trying to come to terms with what he had just witnessed. His gaze darted between the young man and the vanished Rift, as though he couldn't believe what had happened.


"Uhm... where can I become a hunter?" Elian asked calmly, as if he hadn't just destroyed a monster.


The soldier swallowed hard and managed to say:


"In the capital... at the Hunter's Guild. But... you'll have to undergo a trial."


"Yes... Hunters don't just get licenses. You need to prove you're worthy. Especially after... something like that." He glanced at the spot where the battle had recently raged.


Elian nodded. He had no doubts about his abilities, but he understood that to achieve his goal, he would need to follow the established rules.


Elian arrived in the capital — a massive city surrounded by towering walls. Life thrived here, but his focus was solely on the Hunter's Guild. The grand building loomed at the center of the city, and as soon as he arrived at the entrance, he was met by a stern man in his middle years.


"Elian. Here for the trial," Elian replied.


The man sized him up with a gaze before nodding.


"Good. Then come in. The trial starts now."


Elian entered the hall, filled with other candidates. Tension hung in the air — everyone understood that something difficult awaited them.


"Your trial will be simple," the examiner declared. "You need to survive in the Trial Zone for three days."


A murmur rippled through the participants.


"The zone is inhabited by monsters, and only the survivors will earn the title of hunter. If anyone tries to escape — disqualification."


He didn't know what dangers awaited him in the Trial Zone, bu


t one thing was clear — he was ready.
