Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: The Heir of Al-Nassar and the Shepherd's Betrayal

In the darkness of the brutal snowstorm, a sudden glow erupted from a three-dimensional window. Blue-violet light cut through the terrifying white emptiness as figures began appearing, one after another, with mechanical precision.

[System]: "Kily initialized… your intelligent assistant is now connected. Welcome, heir of the Nassar family."

Ice stood frozen, wiping tears from his eyes. He stared at the floating screen in a state of pure shock.

His voice came out trembling:

"Are you… my mother?"

Kily: "No, sir. I am your intelligent assistant. You are the true descendant of the Nassar clan — an ancient Arab lineage from the center of the Earth."

"Nassar?" Ice murmured. "I never heard that name from my parents. Is there a world outside Java?"

Kily: "Yes. Though no one from Java Land has ever reached it."

Suddenly the scene began to change.

A vibrant green swallowed the white snow — transforming the frozen wasteland into something warmer, but darker. The fierce wind softened and was replaced by a hollow, distorted laughter that tore through the silence.

From the depths of a digital world, a large dark figure appeared — with a thick, imposing beard.

Zis.

His voice came like a poisonous snake:

"I deceived you. I was the one who sent Iver to slaughter your parents. I eliminated the bloodline. Now you are the only heir remaining."

"No! My brother… my uncle… they can't be dead!" Ice screamed.

Zis moved closer, his heavy footsteps echoing like stones thrown into still water.

"You speak with such cold detachment, as if your parents' deaths mean nothing to you? I killed all the powerful ones. Even your infant brother. He was… a delicious combination."

He burst into hysterical laughter as he approached.

"What a shame that Java Land chose someone as weak as you to be the source of war. You inherited nothing but disgrace."

Zis placed his heavy rough hand on Ice's chin.

When the light of Zis's eyes fell on him — the vision shifted.

Ice was no longer standing in the snow.

He was bound by heavy chains to a torture chair, his white hair glowing with defiance in the darkness.
