“Look, look, look! By the heavens, what is that? It’s colossal!”
“A black dragon! By the stars, a mythic beast! Utterly breathtaking!”
“So mighty! This feels too real—I’m frozen in awe!”
“This game is a masterpiece!”
“A dragon on the first day? Beyond belief!”
…
A dread majesty cascaded from the heavens, compelling players and NPCs alike to raise their eyes as one to the same distant horizon.
Too staggering!
A presence like a cataclysm incarnate,
A supreme sovereign towering above creation, rendering all mortals mere ants, none able to defy its overwhelming aura.
All who gazed felt fear kindle in their souls.
Even players, undaunted by death, stood no exception!
The mere sight sent chills coursing through their hearts.
Fear, power, dominion…
No words could capture its essence.
“How can this be? How can this be? My lord’s prophecy—how has it awakened? What sorcery is this? The calamity dawns… the calamity dawns…”
Amid the village, unlike the roughspun farmers,
An elder clad in radiant priestly robes stood transfixed, his serene visage shattered.
He stared heavenward, his sacred tome slipping unheeded to the dust,
His eyes locked on the sky, lips quivering,
Murmuring in a tempest of dread and disquiet.
…
In another Haven of Beginnings,
“Jie jie jie! A mere Emissary of the Divine? This is your might?”
Beneath the twilight’s waning glow, a chilling, scornful laugh pierced the village.
Under the horrified stares of onlookers,
A Draconid, crowned with horns and clad in scales, rose languidly from the earth.
His face twisted in sinister glee, baring a maw of jagged fangs.
He lifted a blood-drenched claw to his lips, savoring it with a slow, deliberate lick.
A shroud of peril and uncanny menace wreathed him,
Utterly terrifying.
A player?
Too otherworldly!
In that instant,
The heavens darkened, an obsidian dragon cleaving the firmament.
Its imperious presence crushed the breath from all below.
Yet this figure’s countenance sharpened, casting aside his former arrogance,
His hands clasped in solemn reverence,
His fierce draconic gaze fixed on the silhouette above.
“This is the first! A second, a third, a fourth shall follow…”
“My lord, I offer the world to your glory!”
“Jie jie jie!”
A Zealous Devotee,
He gazed upon the dragon with burning worship, his eyes alight with fervent zeal.
A madman! A fanatic!
His presence sent shudders through the crowd, their eyes barely straying to the dragon overhead.
Close by,
A priest in sacred robes lay still, his face etched with terror, blood pooling beneath him in silence.
…
“My lord…”
“My lord, unconquered across the ages!”
“My lord, mighty, majestic, supreme! I adore you! I adore you!”
“My lord, the Dragon King’s flames shall purge the world!”
…
“My lord!”
Beholding the imperious Ebon Dragon,
Caelum Veyne narrowed his eyes, hands clasped in prayer, gazing from afar with fervent devotion.
Across the Havens of Beginnings, whether felling beasts in the wilds, fulfilling quests in villages, or marveling at the vistas,
Be they human or Draconid,
Man or woman,
Thirteen souls lifted their gazes to the heavens,
Hands joined in solemn unity.
They were Disciples of Calamity, fallen ones embracing the cataclysm’s call.
They pledged their undying loyalty to the ultimate sovereign!
…
“Prime Quest Unlocked: Doom of the Dragon King!”
“Prime Quest Unlocked: Doom of the Dragon King!”
“Prime Quest Unlocked: Doom of the Dragon King!”
…
In that moment,
All players, including Draven’s faithful, heard the cold chime of a system alert.
A quest unveiled!
The dragon, it seemed, had merely swept through!
Etching an indelible shadow on every heart, it turned and vanished.
Beneath the sunset’s dying embers, its titanic form melted into the horizon.
After a long, stunned silence, the players stirred from their trance.
“A Prime Quest? Doom of the Dragon King?”
A task had been bestowed!
As one, they opened their quest logs.
At the forefront, in blazing golden script, stood:
Prime Quest: Doom of the Dragon King
Objective: ???
Reward: ???
A cryptic task, bearing only a name!
Objective: Shrouded in mystery.
Reward: Veiled in enigma.
Yet, an unspoken certainty stirred within the players—
This game was no ordinary realm!
The unseen terror of the dragon wove an even deeper thread of mystery into the Starlit Realm.
