TITAN 09: INTO STONE HEART

This warrior is a master of speed and a symbol of unwavering honesty, a protector whose movements cut through the air faster than sight can follow. His discipline, honed through years of training, allows him to move with silent precision, striking only when justice demands it. Wrapped in traditional garments and a wide straw hat, he carries himself with calm purpose, guided by a moral code that never bends.But his world has been thrown into chaos. A sacred, secured glass containing **nine ancient souls**—each spirit powerful enough to reshape fate—has been stolen. With the glass shattered, these freed souls now roam the world, possessing the innocent, stirring destruction, and threatening the balance of life itself.Knowing the weight of responsibility, he accepts the mission without hesitation. His honesty binds him to the truth, and the truth is clear: only he possesses the speed, insight, and resolve to reclaim the nine spirits. As he races across lands shrouded in darkness and mystery, every encounter tests not only his agility but his integrity.To save the world, he must track, confront, and recapture each soul—one by one—before their unleashed power consumes everything.

Titan was once the revered Paladin of the Azure Guard, his heart a fortress of loyalty, his name synonymous with justice. He stood as the bulwark against the creeping chaos, often sacrificing his own well-being to protect the innocent villages of the kingdom. However, during the devastating Siege of Pyre, he was forced to choose between saving the capital and securing the sacred artifact that kept the King's life intact. He chose the people. Returning victorious, he found the King dead and the Royal Council, steeped in self-preservation, declared him a traitor, accusing him of regicide. They hunted him like a dog. Driven into despair, wounded and alone in the forgotten Catacombs, Titan's heroic spirit shattered. It was there, among the rotting dead, that the forbidden essence of the Nine Souls offered him a pact. He accepted not for power, but for the means to exact vengeance on the corrupt world that had spat on his sacrifice. The dark magic consumed his flesh, leaving only the animated skeleton—a vengeful nightmare, now the scourge of the lands he once protected, a ruthless mirror of the tyranny he vowed to destroy.
