Chapter 65 – Project Nova: Gathering the Forgotten Legends

A map unfolded before Ren, etched in stardust and Void script. Each point pulsed with a name long forgotten by time.

“These aren’t just warriors,” Oris explained. “They were the legends who chose exile over serving the Accord.”

Ren scanned the list. Each name whispered power:

Kael, The Sword Eclipse – Once the strongest celestial bladesman, now vanished after defying the Accord in the Lunar Wars.

Sylvaen, Mistress of Timewells – A chronomancer who vanished into her own timestream.

Zerai, The Iron Pulse – A tech-god hybrid who sealed himself in a ruined starship.

Vaelra, Queen of Hollow Suns – Said to have fused her soul with a dying sun to become unkillable.

“You expect me to recruit them?” Ren raised an eyebrow.

“If you want to stand against the Accord…” Oris smirked, “You’ll need more than rage and a System. You’ll need a rebellion.”

Scene Shift – Deep Timewell

Sylvaen opened her eyes for the first time in centuries, sensing a ripple through time. Her eyes turned to a distant star where Ren’s presence flickered.

“Hmph. Another fool with a monarch complex?” she whispered.
“…Or maybe… a chance.”

Scene Shift – Eclipse Citadel, Moon of Ruin

Kael meditated in darkness, his blade hovering in the air, untouched by time.

“The Void... evolves.”
He stood, unsheathing a blade that sang with anti-light.
“I suppose it's time to see who dares call my name again.”

Back with Ren, the air shimmered.

[Quest Unlocked: Project Nova – Reforge the Rebellion.]
[Target 1: Locate Kael, The Sword Eclipse.]

Ren grinned.

“Let’s make legends rise again.”
