Author Of Shadows: Redemption Across Worlds

Prologue

In the dimly lit chambers of the Inter-dimensional Government Council, an air of tension hung thick. The high-backed chairs, occupied by solemn judges, formed a semicircle around a central platform. On this platform stood a man, his presence sending shivers down the spines of those who faced him.

The judges' expressions were a twisted amalgamation of fear and hatred as they gazed upon the figure before them. His presence was a dark stain on the fabric of their carefully constructed order.

"You've been caught," declared one of the judges, his voice laden with anguish. The collective angst of the council manifested in their glares, focused on the man who stood defiantly before them.

A chilling smirk curled the man's lips as he responded, "Really?" His calm demeanor was unsettling, a stark contrast to the turmoil he had sown across the interconnected worlds.

The council, well aware of the havoc this man had wreaked, had sought to bring him to justice. Yet, the man seemed impervious to their judgment. His eyes, devoid of remorse, locked onto the judges, challenging their authority.

As the deliberations unfolded, the council reached a unanimous decision. "You leave us no choice," muttered another judge, his words dripping with bitterness. The collective decision echoed through the chambers: the man would be condemned to the "Eclipsis Dimension."

This ominous dimension, its name whispered in hushed tones even among the highest echelons of inter-dimensional society, served as a prison unlike any other. The Eclipsis Dimension was the embodiment of isolation, a desolate expanse that erased all sense of time and space. It was a fate worse than mere imprisonment, a place where reality itself warped and twisted, driving those who entered to the brink of insanity.

With a gesture, the council sentenced the man to this unfathomable realm, sealing his fate within the void of Eclipsis. As the vortex of darkness enveloped him, the man's smirk lingered, leaving the judges to grapple with the lingering fear that the seeds of chaos he had sown might yet blossom again.
