VEIL OF DESTINY :THE HIDDEN HEIR ASSERT

The air was still. Dust settled over the battlefield where the Titan had fallen, leaving only silence.

Ochieng stood at the center of it all, his breathing heavy, his body aching from the brutal fight. His fists were clenched, bloodied, but victorious.

The ancient stone path stretched forward, and at the end of it—a golden door.

It pulsed with an eerie glow, as if recognizing his triumph.

Then—something inside him stirred.

A warmth spread through his chest. A hidden force—one he had never felt before—began to unravel within his very being.

His blood burned.

His veins pulsed with a power long sealed away.

And at that moment, Ochieng knew—something inside him had awakened.

A deep, ancient voice echoed within his mind.

"You… who have walked the Path of Strength… who have shattered the Trial of Titans… you are worthy."

Ochieng's eyes widened. The voice was not from the world of the living.

It came from his bloodline.

Memories—ones that were not his—flashed before his eyes.

A battlefield drenched in fire.

A warrior standing alone against thousands.

A name whispered in reverence and fear.

The Blood of the Lost King.

His blood.

Ochieng staggered back, his mind spinning.

All his life, he had lived in the shadows. Mocked. Betrayed. Seen as ordinary.

But he was not ordinary.

He had been born with a legacy.

One that had been buried… until now.

The Golden Door Opens

The golden door at the end of the path trembled.

Then—BOOM!

It swung open.

Blinding light poured out, engulfing everything.

Ochieng stepped forward, his heart pounding. He didn't know what lay beyond.

But one thing was certain—his destiny had only just begun.
