The battlefield was silent.
What once stood as a land of strength and pride was now nothing but destruction. The ground was shattered, the sky dark and unstable, as if the world itself was on the verge of collapse.
Bodies of warriors lay scattered across the field—fallen, defeated.
At the center of it all stood one figure.
KS.
His breathing was heavy. His body was covered in injuries, yet he refused to fall. In both hands, he held his swords, their edges faintly glowing. Around him, a powerful aura flickered—unstable, yet overwhelming.
He lifted his head slowly.
"Nemesis…" his voice was calm, but filled with resolve. "Let's end this."
From the darkness ahead, another presence emerged.
A man surrounded by a dense, shadowy aura stepped forward. His eyes were cold, yet not empty.
Nemesis.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"I've been waiting for this…" he said quietly. "For my end… or yours."
Without another word—
He charged.
KS tightened his grip on his swords and rushed forward.
And just as their clash was about to happen—
The scene shattered.
2000 Year ago
Long before the present, when the world was still untouched by chaos, there existed two great kings.
King Thros… and King Sanuo.
One day, a mysterious object fell from the sky—a blazing mass that crashed into the earth with unimaginable force.
When King Thros approached it… everything changed.
From that object, he gained a dark power—an overwhelming force that consumed his mind.
That power was later known as…
Nemesis.
Blinded by it, Thros abandoned his humanity. He sought to reshape the world according to his own vision—no matter the cost.
But he was not unopposed.
King Sanuo stood against him.
Gifted with the power of the five elements, and supported by warriors who carried those same elemental forces, Sanuo fought to protect the balance of the world.
Their battle shook the land itself.
In the end…
Nemesis was not destroyed.
It was sealed.
Hidden deep within the earth… waiting.
Present day - 2 year ago
"And that… is the story of King Sanuo."
A gentle voice filled the room.
KS sat on the floor, listening with shining eyes.
"Wow…" he said, clearly excited. "I want to be like King Sanuo someday!"
From the side, his older brother Arvind scoffed.
"It's just a story, KS. Don't take it seriously."
Their mother smiled softly and placed her hand on KS's head.
"You can become anything you want," she said. "As long as you have the will to do it."
From the doorway, their father called out, "We're getting late."
"Coming," their mother replied.
She looked back at Arvind. "Take care of him. And don't forget to drop him at school tomorrow."
Arvind sighed. "Yeah, yeah… I got it."
Their parents left the house.
Outside, the weather had already begun to change. Dark clouds gathered. The wind grew stronger. And soon, rain started pouring heavily.
That Night
The phone rang.
Arvind picked it up casually. "…Hello?"
Silence.
Then his expression changed completely.
The color drained from his face.
KS, noticing, stood up. "Bhai… what happened?"
Arvind didn't answer immediately. His hands started shaking.
Then finally—
"…KS…"
His voice broke.
"Our parents… they… they died in an accident."
Everything went silent.
KS stood frozen.
His heart started racing. His mind refused to process the words.
No…
This couldn't be real.
Not like this. Not so suddenly.
The storybook of King Sanuo slipped from his hands.
It hit the ground.
And for the first time…
KS's world shattered.
