Wish In The Rain.

--- Story Name: The Great War of Humans and Gods

Chapter 1 — Wish in the Rainy Night

The sound of rain still fell incessantly outside the glass window.

In the small room filled with dim light, Jack sat silently on the chair, his eyes staring down at his empty hands.

Nina...

That figure never left his mind.

Jack clenched his hands, his heart felt like it was being squeezed by someone.

A voice came out from his dry throat:

"I wish... I could go back..."

"I wish... I could save everyone..."

At that moment — the space suddenly shook slightly.

A soft "whoosh" sound rang out, as if the air was being torn apart.

Right in front of Jack, a man with an unusual aura appeared — as if he had just teleported through space.

Long silver hair fluttered gently.

A large black cloak swept the floor.

In his hand — an ancient sword, a pale blue light enveloping the blade.

Jack raised his head, stunned.

He didn't say a word, only revealing a mysterious smile.

Slowly, he raised the sword high, the tip of the sword pointing straight at the ceiling.

A strange blue light burst from the blade, breaking the surrounding air.

Rumble —

The world seemed to tremble.

Outside the window, raindrops fell backwards into the sky.

The clock hands on the table turned backwards crazily.

The air was filled with a chaotic smell, as if time was being forced to reverse.

Jack looked at the scene before him, a mixed feeling of surprise and hope welling up in his heart.

He — that mysterious man — finally spoke, his voice deep and resonant like the ringing of a bell in the void:

"Your wish..."

"I will fulfill it."

The light grew stronger and stronger, engulfing the entire room.

In the final moments before his consciousness was swept away, Jack heard a very soft sentence, as if coming from a very far place:

"Welcome to the game of fate..."
