A Man Like None Other

Suddenly, a radiant light burst into view, and Jared’s heart leaped with excitement.

He thought was finally about to escape this miserable place. He’d only just arrived in the celestial realm, and before even had a chance to explore, he’d ended up trapped in a cage!

Naturally, was beyond curious about what the celestial realm actually looked like.

A few breaths later, a streak of white light flashed across their vision, and just like that, they found themselves standing on solid ground. At last, their feet were planted firmly, no longer floating aimlessly in mid-air.

Jared took a look around, then narrowed his eyes, his expression darkening. Turned out, they hadn’t left at all.

They hadn’t arrived in the wide open lands of the celestial realm. Instead, they were standing inside a palace.

The palace was lined with oil lamps, the flames on the wicks flickering like little spirits. At the far end of the hall, a tall platform stood, and a single figure was seated at its peak. The whole palace was cloaked In an eerie chill, and the figure on the platform was radiating with lethal intent.

“This must be the one behind the cage,” Reidan said.

“Yeah, that’d be my guess too,” Jared replied with a nod.

“You dared break free from your cage and run from punishment. You’ve got some nerve. You never completed true ascension, and yet you tried to cheat your way into the celestial realm. That’s a direct violation of the Heavenly Law, and punishment is due.” The voice echoed down from the platform, carrying a heavy authority with it.
