Dawn is born at midnight. The cloaked guy sighs and waves his hand, causing the space to ripple and split them in half. He then retrieves an antique book from his Dimensional pocket. The book's surface is rough, and it appears to be made of animal skin. You will be struck by the profundity of the old Scripture engraved on top of it, and nestled in the center is a purple jewel in the shape of a skull.

   He opens the book, flicks over the pages, and then points to the second passage with his woody finger. "Oh glimmer of shadow, harken the king of shadow dominion, activate thy Arcane [Shadow of Harken]," he says under his breath. With a loud rumbling sound, an indigo dome envelopes the whole city of Sitherlands after uttering the Arcane Spell.

   "Now that everything is in place," he sighs sadly, "I wonder whether they will follow their pursuit again; given that I've already wasted a lot of treasure for this domain, if they can still follow me, I'll just blame it on my poor luck."

   A cold voice that could freeze a lake echoed beside him, stating, "That treasure you used is worth half their third division treasures, they can only hope of their pursuit; given that you used that treasure, my estimate is you can get 5 months of relief; try to accumulate more strength and master other techniques."

   The man nodded, his heart racing with rage and a thirst for vengeance.

   .....

   Julien feels that the tremors are going stronger and it feels that his apartment complex might collapse.

   After a few minutes of trembling and shaking he got up and heaved a sigh of relief. Electricity is out and only the moonlight is giving him the light of vision.

   As he stood up, he got his phone and checked the messages. As he turns it on the light of his phone flashes and hurts his eyes. "Damn brightness! And there is no signal as well!"

   Julien scratched his eyes and decided to open the window. As he opens it he notices that the light outside is different. He started to tremble as he saw a purple spatial rift and a big dome covering the whole city.

   The city looks like it has scrambled, the buildings, roads, and even the cars outside are floating and clashing with each other.

   This is the adverse effect of Arcane that the hooded man used. If the person with a  mana attribute saw the spell it will affect his judgment.

   As for normal humans, they will not notice anything.

   Julien's body trembled. This is the first time he experienced this and not even in his imagination will this happen in real life. He sweats profusely and he begins to collapse.

   The morning continues, the daylight is up and everything looks normal in Sitherlands City. The rumbles, earthquakes, and the dome are no longer seen.

   --

   6:30 AM. a loud alarm reverberates the whole room. Julien woke up and got his phone. He turns off the alarm and hurriedly looks outside the window. With a deep sigh "Is that a dream? It looks very real and the earthquake; I'm pretty sure it happened."

   He still feels his body trembling with an ominous feeling when he sees the scene outside the window. He feels like his stomach is crunching inside. He shakes his head and begins to think that everything is a dream.

   --

   8 AM. Retta Business district. Towering buildings can be seen everywhere and the tallest one which is in the heart of the business district is where his office is.

   Julien took a bus to go to work. He is still pondering what happened last night but when he saw the sea of people he began to accept that it was all but a dream. After that, he arrived at his office building. He gets a coffee from a local coffee shop on the ground floor and goes with his normal routine.

   17th floor, *ding* With a deep breath... "Here we go again, Julien. Time to show off"

   With a big smile, he greets his colleagues "Hey guys! Good morning, good morning!"

   A very beautiful voice sounded, "Good morning as well, Julien, how's your travel this morning?"

   A stunning woman welcomed him. The woman has lovely purple eyes that may easily make your heart skip a beat. You can tell she's a high-class woman by her good face characteristics and really beautiful figure..

   "Hey, it's surprisingly good with no traffic at all; how about you?"

   Niana laughed as she shook her head in agreement and headed to her desk, saying, "Yeah, I feel it funny but that's a good thing, right? Less hassle."

   It's just another typical workday, and before you know it, the day is over once more.

   Julien has another foreboding sense as he prepares to leave. This is the identical sensation I had last night. He departs and rides down the elevator. *ding* The elevator door opens, and the first thing he observes is the tall middle-aged man in a black robe. He has gray hair, yet his features remain appealing.

   The man looks at Julien and he feels that the man is looking at his soul. It sends shivers down his spine, he hurriedly looks away and pretends nothing is unusual.

   While walking, he still feels the man's gaze. "Damn, what hell!? Who is that man? Never seen or met him before. Why does it look like he knows me and his gaze gives me chills." he thought. With a shake of his head, he hurriedly takes a bus.

   While on the bus, he recalls what happened earlier and last night, and he still thinks those events happen. That earthquake feels real. He sighed. "Today's event is weird, especially that creepy man."

   With his palm on his chin, he looks out the window at the cars and buildings. A purple spatial gap appears, accompanied by a thunderous rumbling. A 6-meter tall crack emerged in the area with a crack sound, and a guy flew outside and peered at Julien.

   Julien's pupils dilated when he noticed a massive fissure and fracture outside. He noticed a guy soaring outside of it.

   Julien recognized the man in his office building. A shudder ran up his spine, "T-That..." he pointed his fingers and gazed about, and everything around him seemed to come to a halt.

   "Oh God, please help me," he mumbled.
