Illusory Dreams, A fantasy world in a distant land which existed long long ago. A place filled with abundance and assortment of magical things. Back then, it used to be so thriving and rich in life, however, during the bygone era when no supreme ruler held the world in unity, absolute power only belonged to whoever dared to claim it — and such a daring move came at such a heavy cost. They were destined to be drawn into a relentless storm of rivalry and war; a ceaseless struggle for dominion. Kingdoms rose only to clash, and ambition burned like wildfire across the whole land.
Yet, right in the center of chaos, stood two fearsome figures of terrifying legend. Their power alone makes the world fade and heaven dimmed into nothingness. Before them, courage remained meaningless, and unrelenting fear kept arising.
However, the two fearsome beings, who'd succeeded in reaching the peak of life, without unclear reason; their enmity enraged, and eventually began a war between two strongest forces. One was the so-called The Deathless Abyss; Vael, and the other one was a female war machine; Queen.
Oddly enough, after those wars, two of them disappeared without leaving a single trace, making the people believe that they were gone for good.
More than thousand years had passed. As the passage of time swallowed the past, history began to fade into shadow. People were beginning to prosper, and a new power had risen to take control. The result was the birth of a kingdom: Wuxian — means infinite, a kingdom without clear end.
On the grand street, a line of strong people marched down in great spirit. Their sturdy body mark the display of their immense strength. Their valiant shouts thundered through every edge of the land. Decoration in red was all over the building, and lit a bright aether lamp upon their passing, which summoned more greater applause.
Aether lamps were a symbol of power — it only awakened if it sensed a greater essence being emanated. Henceforth, it was a reminder to whoever the enemy are, that their days will soon be reckoned with.
At the sight of such grandeur, some of the people which at first intended to watch the display of power, left bare in astonishment — that it even stirred the gaze of some foreign traveler who is exploring temporarily. Whilst, ordinary folks just stayed in the world of blissful ignorance, and carried on the will and hope of humanity's rise.
"Woah, the ruler this time, truly didn't even flick an eyes. He's going all out!", another low-ranking nobles exclaimed in deep respect.
Behind the heroic parade came the nobles, whilst the common folk and low ranking nobles lined the roads, offering their hearts in proud allegiance.
The long march was finally halted at the front gate, and the entrance pushed open, breaking into sight, the true landscape of power. Everyone stopped at their pace and slowly ascended the stairs. A grand hall slowly swallowed their sight, and when they got inside, the hall was more magnificent than it meets the eye. The interior wall was beyond measure, and it drifted along a starry light. Each pillar rose in a graceful curve, while beneath them was a floor gleaming with shallow water, as if reflecting heaven. All things within were cast in celestial gold — its appearance alone signified noble origin.
The echo of the places were filled with jolly conversation and whiz from all over the place — It vaguely reached their ears even from the far distance of each being, infiltrating how magnanimous this time meeting is. Then, a voice overwhelmed the whole space, as if the world itself was speaking to them. " Welcome to Infinire grand hall. I am the ruler of this kingdom hereby declare, that you all may launch this time meeting. Please —"
A certain long chamber fell into darkness, and from the shadows, emerged a table surrounded with chair. Those who had stepped on the floor earlier immediately clear the space, afraid that they would too be engulfed inside the darkness. With everything already in place, each took their position.
As the room slowly being filled with solemnity, a new crowned immortal gradually show itself out of thin air — it was the ruler of Wuxian, Heredict Zayan, the only rightful heir of a noble house with a centuries, long lineage of purest blood, Zayan family.
"Welcome to the great hall of my palace. By the blood of my ancestors, I, Heredict Zayan, the ruler of this whole kingdom, personally introduce myself."
Upon witnessing the presence of the very noble in personal, all the people's present sense a great overwhelming strength only by his words alone. They all couldn't help but to straightened up and bow a greet in deep respect.
Seeing that no one could be a threat to him, The Nobles, Heredict, smirks in content. He then land himself down and seated himself upon the supreme chair of the assembly. Unlike any other, the one he settled on has a dragon emblem etched upon its back, signifying that from here on, he alone, held the final judgement over all.
Heredict Zayan made himself at ease with a crossed legs. From him, emitted an air of absolute comfort and authority. " As we may know, Wuxian was first founded by the command of one of the two strongest forces in the world of the past. Even though that body remains intact and safely preserved somewhere, as long as the powerful aura contained inside it still lingers, none of our enemy could lay a hand on us."
He changed his position again and stated, "However, recently, the aura out of nowhere had been slowly scraped down until only a trace of breathe remains. We can't just sit by and do nothing, otherwise, this land, once again, would fall into chaos. So, this time assembly is to hear the opinion of each of you. Lend me your wisdom and told me, what step must we now take?". Heredict cast them a glance that's quite unreadable. It's sharp, yet also spontanous. His lips curved in a smirks as if putting an invincible rope over their head.

On the other hand, the long forgotten and weak inhibitans of Meng Hun forest, after a thousand more years of deep loyalty, finally be granted a blessings once again — a soul with no body. That blessings, to unleash more greater power could only took other's body, and thus, it possessed the body of a female assassin, namely; Nyneve.
"My body. I must get my body back. I could feel it", upon its resurection, it keeps phrasing this words. Although it already received a new body, after all, it's not the one that belong to her. And thus, from here on, begun the adventure on finding the body of its own — This ensured that she would have the complete power to take on her responsibilities if the times truly come.

Rain cascaded torrentially as evening met the horizon, drenching all beneath the earth including Nyneve who was in her way to Wuxian. Unfortunately, she'd barely touches the divide between the outside world and Meng Hun Forest when the only robe she had, that is, the one on her body got wet, which makes her a little displeased.
In anger, she pointed at the sky and began complaining in arrogance. "You! How dare you drenched my clothes!". Immediately, a bolt of lightning struck the tip of her fingers and she fell to the ground. After a brief moment of silence, in unexpected turn, she began crying in plead instead — It could be acting or maybe it isn't at all. The point is, a new plain white robes fell from the sky, sent by the floating fish in exchange of her old ones.
Nynyve instantly heaves her body up and smirk slyly, clearly pleased. She let a praise uttered out and give the clothes a few shakes before putting them on.
"Wow, nice body", an unanticipated cheeky whistle caught her off guard and some invincible presence flew around her, as if analyzing her. Nyneve just stuck in place. Her sight followed the strongest force she could feel, before her eyes fixated towards the reveal above the sturdy branches on top of her. At first, her eyes flickered a few times under the touch of rain, but as it eased into a gentle drizzle and a soft dim light wove through the leaves to grace his face, her gaze fell into stillness.
