Fifty years ago, rifts appeared in the world. These rifts spewed spirit beasts, ancient artifacts, and fragments of lost civilizations. The human race brought forth Talent Sigils and built guilds and families for survival.

These families include one of the oldest awakened bloodlines, known as "The Long Clan," said to trace its lineage from the dragons of antiquity.

However, rivalries also exist within great clans.

His name is Long Hao, the son of a dwindling lineage family who is ridiculed for being the embarrassment of the clan. It is not impossible for people to believe that he has only mediocre talent because the clan already labels him as the failure who does not deserve the name dragon.

But on the night before the awakening ceremony, there is a prohibited awakening within him.

[Forbidden Talent Detected. Origin: Dragon-Eclipse Bloodline


It seems that *Heaven’s Law* itself has made

Long Hao wields forbidden talent, a skill feared not only by humans but also by the heavens.

The day that follows, the Awakening Stone has no talent, and the world laughs at him.

But Long Hao just smiled.

When the first dungeon appears out of nowhere in his high school, chaos breaks out. "The trash of the Long Clan" emerges and displays power that shocks the city.
He will overcome his destiny.
Above the guilds.

Above ancient clans. Beyond God's own command. A dragon ought to fly across the nine heavens, and he, named Long Hao, shall smash those who come to get in his way.

A dragon should soar across the nine heavens—
and Long Hao will shatter anyone who dares stand in his path.

It didn't wait. It didn't observe. It moved first. Far above—The fragment shifted—Before anything changed below. Not reacting. Anticipating.


Back in the valley—Long Hao felt it. Not pressure. Not weight. Timing. "…It's ahead of us now." Longyu's form flickered beside him. Faint. Unstable. "…Yes." A pause. "…It's predicting structure before it forms." Long Hao's gaze sharpened. "…Then we can't let anything settle."


In the eastern city—They moved. Not in zones. Not in chains. Constantly shifting. Dynamic intersections. No fixed points. "…Keep it moving." The unaligned man said sharply. "…Don't let any pattern stabilize."


Groups formed—Then dissolved. Connections appeared—Then vanished. Movement became fluid. Unfixed. Unstable. The system reacted. Marks appeared—Then missed. Then appeared again—Too late. "…It's losing lock." "…For now."
