The arena that was originally filled with chaos and great battles suddenly became silent. Elysia, with eyes full of shock, saw the warrior take his own life . His time seemed to have come to a halt, and everything around him froze and was stunned mute

From the audience bench, a mysterious figure wearing a black robe and a deer skull mask gracefully flicked his finger, producing a terrifying *tikk.* sound. Everything in the arena, from the spectators to the shards of rock, the smoke of the fight, the frenzied sounds of the spectators, all stopped moving.

That mysterious figure, who seemed to have the power to stop time, appeared in the middle of the arena and gave an applause. His voice sounded amidst a gripping silence.

mysterious figure: "This is amazing....Obst unexpectedly.really an amazing work of art!"

The still limp Elysia could not understand what was going on. She had to watch her brother being killed before her eyes, and suddenly all stopped moving, except for her.

Suddenly, a mysterious figure with a black robe and a deer skull mask approached him. Elysia was confused and frightened. He must deal with the mystery surrounding this terrible situation, and questions begin to appear in his mind. What's gonna happen next?

A mysterious figure with elegant footsteps approached Elysia, who was trembling and scared.

With a trembling voice, he asked, "Who are you? And why can you stop time? Isn't that the same as the power of gods?"

The Mysterious figure replied with a laugh, "God huh? Hmm, maybe even hahahahaaha... But relax, this isn't the time stop you think it is. I just moved the dimensions of your consciousness and my consciousness to a different place. I'm just slowing down time around here. Well, it does look like stopping time. Cool, right? Haha."

Elysia who was still confused and frightened asked further, "So actually, who are you?"

Mysterious figure brought his head closer and whispered something into Elysia's ear, "You can call me... FORBIDDEN FIGURE "

Shades of tension were felt between them in this mysterious situation.

Elysia (shaking voice) Who... or what, you really are?

forbidden figure: (with a mysterious smile behind the mask of his skull) I am not a god, Elysia. I was something much more complex than that.*with glowing red eyes filling the dark space inside the deer skull, making the situation even more gripping.

"I am a manifestation of the voidness of the human soul, an ancient existence that has been here since countless ages! hahahahaha! .

Elysia: (more confused) Ancient existence? I don't get it.

forbidden figure: (in a mysterious tone) I am formed from the human desire to have unlimited power, from their fear and doubt, from the determination to achieve goals that are difficult to achieve. I am the keeper of the deepest secrets of their hearts and minds.

Elysia (curious) Why are you showing up now?

Forbidden figure: (with a scary tone) There is a great conspiracy in this kingdom, Elysia. A dark covenant has been made with a very evil purpose. Those in power seek to achieve their goals at the cost of their lives. And I, as a manifestation of doubt and despair, have chosen you as the key to help you see all the real realities of pawns, hatred and suffering.

Elysia: (surprised) as if she could still digest everything

forbidden figure: (seriously) That's why I'm here. I can, help you figure out all the conspiracies at work and the truth about this world .. But, in exchange, I need something from you.

Elysia: (biting her lips)" What do you want from me?"

forbidden figure: (with the glare of sharp eyes shining brightly) he brought his head closer and whispered something

something that made Elisya tremble, angry, scared and.
