The night over the capital had become strangely quiet.
Far below the penthouse of Tech Genesis, countless lights illuminated the city like stars scattered across the earth. Flying carriages moved between towering buildings while adventurers returned from guild commissions, merchants closed their stores, and people laughed beneath the glowing streets without realizing that somewhere above them, a single message had changed someone's fate.
Zero stood silently before the glass window.
The communicator in his hand remained lit.
Only one sentence was displayed.
Come alone. Midnight. Do not bring anyone.
No name.
No location.
Just a coordinate attached beneath the message.
Zero had already memorized it.
His crimson eyes remained fixed on the distant horizon while fragments of memories continued surfacing within his mind.
Not memories of Edolas.
Another world.
A world filled with impossibly tall buildings reaching into the clouds.
Metal machines raced across black roads.
