Chapter 72: Chapter 70: The Shinning Light

His eyes slowly closing...—but then suddenly, he remembered...

(Flashback)

The morning sun rose like any other day in the Stellar Kingdom, but for Prince Aurthor, it was the day everything changed.

The palace was quiet. Too quiet. The usual hum of celestial energy that flowed through the marble halls was still there, but dim. Like it was mourning. Like even the stars above sensed something terrible approaching.

Aurthor, only ten years old at the time, stood outside his mother’s chamber. His heart beat like a war drum in his chest. Servants and guards knelt quietly as he passed. None dared speak. None could look him in the eyes.

Inside, Queen Arlayna lay on her bed. She had once been the most radiant woman in the entire cosmos, her long hair shimmering like strands of starlight, her eyes glowing with the warmth of suns. She was the beacon of hope in the Stellar Kingdom. A woman of immense strength, grace, and magic—the embodiment of light itself.

But now...

Now her body looked frail, almost translucent. Her once-blazing aura had dimmed, flickering like a candle in its last moments. Her breaths were shallow. Every exhale carried visible streams of light particles, signs that her own power—the Light Magic that made her a queen, a mother, a legend—was eating away at her life.

Aurthor stepped inside.

"Mom...?" he whispered, his voice breaking, unsure, scared.

She turned her head. That smile—that soft, radiant smile—greeted him even now.

"My little star..." she said weakly.

He rushed to her side, holding her hand. It felt warm. Too warm.

"Don’t..." he said. "Please don’t go."

She chuckled softly, coughing light particles.

"You were always so fast... even as a baby, you crawled faster than the palace cats could chase you."

"I’ll run faster!" he said desperately. "I’ll run to find help. Just wait for me!"

Arlayna slowly shook her head. "There is no help, Aurthor. My Light... was never meant to last forever. The stronger I became, the more it consumed me. This is my fate."

Tears poured down his face.

"No... no it’s not! You’re the Queen of Light! You can beat anything! You always said so!"

She closed her eyes, her face peaceful.

"Listen to me," she whispered, opening them again to look into his.

"You were born under the Eclipse Star, Aurthor. It’s a rare celestial omen. A star that shines brightest in darkness."

He sniffled.

"You have my speed. My light. But you also carry something more... something your father gave you."

Aurthor sobbed then he says

"but...dad doesn’t have any powers..."

"No" she agreed. "But he has a spirit that cannot be broken. That spirit flows in your veins too my boy"

Aurthor shook his head. "It’s not enough mom. I want your power. I want you." he sobbed harder holding his tears Then he raised his voice and says

"I want to be like you... someone people can look up to! Someone who can save anyone in the blink of an eye.... someone... strong like you"

She smiled again.

"One day, you’ll understand. Now..." Her breathing slowed. "Now I must ask something of you."

She raised a trembling hand to his cheek.

"Promise me..."

he looked at her with tears in his eyes said, gripping her hand.

"Promise me that no matter how dark the path becomes..." Her voice weakened, "You will keep running. Not away from pain. Not to escape. But toward hope. And become the light of hope for everyone"

She coughed again, the light dimming further.

"One day... you’ll be faster than fate. I believe in you." she says with a smile

Aurthor looked at her, pain in his eyes, pain in his voice, pain in his heart, he speaks and says

"I promise," he whispered, sobbing. "I promise I’ll run..."

She speaked and added

"...Until you reach a world where no child cries like you are now," she finished, tears in her eyes. "I love you, my little star..."

And with that... she closed her eyes and left the world with a smile on her face

The stars outside the palace dimmed. The sky wept light. And so did Aurthor.

---

The Kingdom mourned for weeks. But no one mourned more than Aurthor.

He spent nights lying on the balcony of his room, staring at the stars.

He stopped laughing. He stopped smiling. He trained. Every single day.

He runs, He falls, he stand up, he falls again and stand up again,

At twelve, he could outrun arrows. At thirteen, he could run across oceans. By age of the fifteen, he could break the light barrier—but only for a minute, before his body would scream in pain, warning him of destruction.

He didn’t stop, he worked hard like no one did, and soon got the title of ’Fastest human to ever live’

One day when Aurthor was doing meditation his grandfather Zetheron visits him.

"Boy," the old warrior said. "You’ve grown."

Aurthor didn’t look up from his meditation. Zetheron looked at him with a small smile, he sits beside him and looked up at sky and says.

"You watched her die didn’t you and you still carry her fire with you"

Aurthor slowly opened his eyes and speaks "I made a promise."

Zetheron nodded.

"That’s great... because i know you are going to become someone strong...like your mom and dad..."

Aurthor slowly looked at him then Zetheron continued and says

"You will be a proud King for this kingdom... your dad and this old man believe in you"

Aurthor slowly lowered his head in sadness then, Zetheron raised his hand and put in Author’s shoulder and says

"Lemme tell you something"

Aurthor looked at him in confusion then Zetheron speak in a confident voice and says,

"Don’t ever give up! Become someone who will never lose! and if the day came when you are giving up in a fight then! Give up to someone who you will acknowledge! Give up to someone who will help you to rise up and reach the star you are looking for"

(Flashback over)

As he remembered that he opened his eyes wide open then he collect every last of his strength and stand up.

Boltz looked at him in surprise and says

"He still have strength?!"

Aurthor slowly raised his head and looked at Boltz with a blood filled eyes and says.

"I’m not done yet"

Boltz heard him and says,

"Tch what a pain in the ass"

He raised his hand and charged his lighting attack and says.

"Get ready to die you little brat!"

He laughed the attack directly towards Aurthor but in instant Aurthor vanished,

Boltz in shock speaks and says,

"He’s still that fast! But it doesn’t matter my auto dodge skill will not let him even lay a single finger on me"

Boltz started looking in all directions searching for him but..., Aurthor was up i Sky so high that he could see the space and the Stars

Aurthor silently stare at the Stars then he remembers something else

(Flashback)

Aurthor’s body dropped to the ground with a soft thud, his breaths ragged and sweat dripping from his forehead. His sword lay beside him, half buried in the dirt. The sunlight filtered through the trees as golden rays bathed the field, but all he could see was his own frustration.

In the center of the training arena stood Lunara— her stance relaxed yet perfect, as if she’d barely broken a sweat.

Aurthor looked at his trembling hands. His body ached all over from the countless hits he’d taken.

"... I’m still not good enough," he muttered, punching the ground lightly. "How can someone be so strong? She didn’t even try."

He slowly sat up and dragged himself toward the edge of the field, collapsing in the soft grass. The breeze was cool against his bruised skin.

Moments later, soft footsteps approached.

"Hello there Author" a soft voice speaks

Aurthor turned his head to see Sumi walking toward him with a smile smile on her face.

She knelt beside him in the grass, not saying a word at first. Just sitting with him under the shade.

He let out a sigh.

"She beat me without even flinching. I couldn’t even see her strikes until they landed. I thought I was fast, but... I’m no match for her. Not even close."

Sumi looked at him and sepaks.

"Aurthor... you forget just how special you are. If you were in my old world, just your speed alone would’ve been enough to destroy the entire planet."

Aurthor blinked, wide-eyed. "W-What...? You’re joking, right?"

She smiled softly. "No. I’ve seen what speed without control does in that world. And you... you carry that same untamed brilliance. But you doubt yourself. That’s your greatest enemy."

Aurthor looked down. "I thought I had gotten stronger. I thought... maybe I could protect everyone. But when someone like miss Lunara stands in front of me, I realize I still have such a long way to go."

Sumi placed a hand on his shoulder and speaks with a smile.

"You’re not weak because you lost. You’re strong because you keep standing back up. Do you know what makes a strike deadly? It’s not just the power or the speed..."

She paused, then said with a quiet conviction

"It’s the focus. A strike with speed means nothing if it misses. A heart full of power is nothing if it can’t aim. And even the fastest light needs direction—or it burns everything around it."

Aurthor stared at her, silent.

She continued

"And never forget... even the fastest force in the universe sometimes needs help to find its path. There is no shame in reaching for a hand when the road becomes steep. Even stars lean on each other to shine brighter."

A long silence hung between them, the rustling grass the only sound.

Aurthor slowly looked up at the sky.

"Lady Sumi... thank you. I think... I needed to hear that."

She smiled again, this time with a bit of pride.

Aurthor grinned softly, his spirit rising once more.

"Alright... next time, I’ll make defeat miss Lunara at least once."

Sumi laughed and says.

"You are going to directly defeat her? Atleast make her look tired at first"

Aurthor blushed as she laughed.

(Flashback over)

As he remembers that he slowly raised his hand and infront of him a white hole appired and he put his hand inside it and slowly took out a katana in yellow color, he speaks and says

"Lady Sumi... please lend me your power"

He slowly turned around The close his eyes then slowly light particals started appearing around him the katana glowed bright then he opened his eyes and screams.

"Paradise Light!!!!!!"

Then with a huge bring red and black light exposing he dash directly down, Boltz who was still searching for him suddenly felt a huge pressure, he instantly looked behind but Aurthor was already behind him and his katana just beside his neck,

(What!) Boltz gasped inside

(When did he! No it’s fine my auto dodge ski-)

But before he could complete Aurthor slashed his neck in two and as his neck got slashed the katana release multiple dark slash attack which slashed his body into nothing instantly killing him,

Aurthor slowly fell down towards the ground, a smile appired on his face then in small voice he wishpear,

"Mom.... I did it.."
