(⚠️WARNING⚠️: This fanfic is a completely separate timeline from the Ninjago series you're familiar with. And in this series, the characters aren't LEGOs, so prepare yourselves for some rogue elements and changes. You have been warned...)
Ninjago City is a neon paradise, but for Y/N, it's a frozen graveyard. Homeless, starving, and ignored by a world that treats him like a ghost, he finally breaks. Leaving the cruel city behind, he wanders into the mountains during a freezing storm, seeking nothing but the quiet peace of the grave.
Instead, he unseals an ancient tomb and awakens the Hypnobrai tribe.
Standing before hundreds of bared fangs and spears, Y/N doesn't run. He welcomes the blade. Stripped of his fear, his raw apathy catches the attention of the brilliant, calculating Skales. Seeing a mirror of their own exile in the broken human boy, Skales offers Y/N a dark bargain: a home, a family, and fire for his bones. In return, Y/N will use his human knowledge to help the Serpentine tear the surface world down.
In the dark of the earth, a boy who was left to freeze might just find that cold-blooded monsters make the warmest family.
