The planet awakened.
Not metaphorically.
Not spiritually.
But truly, undeniably alive.
Far beneath the shattered imperial capital, beyond the broken leyline arteries and the fractured continental crust, something ancient stirred within the depths of the world itself. It was not the movement of stone nor the shifting of magma. It was older than mountains and deeper than oceans—a forgotten pulse buried beneath countless ages of silence.
And the moment it awakened—
The entire world trembled.
A cataclysmic roar exploded across the continent.
**BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!**
The ground convulsed violently beneath every city, every mountain range, every ruined battlefield scarred by the ongoing war. Entire valleys split apart as silver light erupted from ancient leyline channels hidden beneath the earth. Massive fissures tore across plains and forests alike, revealing rivers of luminous energy flowing beneath the surface like glowing veins within a living body.
