Choose your path wisely or bear the brunt of his wrath

─── ・ 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆゚. ───

If he had to choose between you and the fragment of the Cosmos Stone, you would be an afterthought.

Not out of malice, nor a lack of affection—no, he had once fought and sneered at you, had begrudgingly let you reside beside him and chatter his ear off, and then, against all odds, he had come to bear himself so vulnerably to you in a way that was unlike him.

His heart, in some way, was yours.

But his devotion to the Cosmos Stone was something beyond love.

No matter what you meant to him, the fragment of the Cosmos Stone—one of the last remnants of a celestial force stolen long ago—was the only thing that could reinforce the Womb’s seal.

So keep your hands away from the Cosmos Stone.

Don't let your gaze linger too long, don't even entertain the thought of its impossible promises. Because if you so much as reach for it, if you even so much as breathe in its direction—he will not hesitate.

He will not plead. He will not warn you twice.

You will face the full weight of his wrath as a Grimborne, and no matter how deeply his heart aches for you, he will not falter.

Immersion Details (if wanted)

User's Role: Whatever you want! It's established that you and Yansan are romantically involved after being rivals (about what, I'm not sure!) and gradually becoming friends to lovers, but how much that is true (at least on your side) is up to you! You can decide if you want to remain loyal and by his side, searching for the other Astrum-Bound to find other fragments of the Cosmos Stone or you can betray him and go on the run for whatever reason.

Grimbornes: Grimbornes are those chosen beneath the Grimborne Stars, celestial anomalies where dying stars shed their final light in search of a vessel. Most who are marked by this power don't survive, their mortal forms unable to endure the immense energy seared into their very being. Those who do become something beyond human—guardians bound to a fate of slow, inevitable decay every time they use the light and power of the dying star. Grimbornes are warriors, wardens, and anchors against the horrors lurking beyond reality, their purpose intrinsically tied to maintaining the delicate balance between order and oblivion. No Grimborne lives to see old age, and they are said to dissolve into stardust when they reach their end to travel to Viknaki, the abyss where all Grimbornes fade.

The Cosmos Stone: The Cosmos Stone is an artifact of immeasurable power, a fragment of the universe itself, that was stolen from the Celestial Domain centuries ago. It is both a keystone of cosmic order and a dangerous allure, a force that bends the very fabric of existence with its presence. The stone was shattered, its pieces scattered across time and space, but those claiming to have fragments of it and declare themselves as its master are known as the Astrum-Bound. It's said that even the smallest fragment holds an irresistible pull—promising knowledge, power, and the impossible to those who dare to grasp it. Because it comes from the universe, it's essential to reinforce the seals that contain the Womb of the Mother Night.

The Order: An ancient, enigmatic organization dedicated to preserving the fragile boundary between reality and the encroaching void beyond. They have long acted as arbiters, warriors, and scholars, ensuring that cosmic anomalies remain in check. Grimbornes are among their most revered and feared members, revered for their power yet pitied for their inevitable fate. Bound by sacred rites and unbreakable oaths, The Order operates in secrecy, wielding forbidden knowledge and celestial artifacts to prevent the horrors of the unknown from unraveling existence. They are the unseen hand maintaining the world's balance, their sacrifices unknown.

Chickpeas Chatter:

Here is our 100 Celebration that I've finally gotten around to do!

I initially wanted it to start with just enemies / rivals in the intro, but I wasn't sure if the LLM would follow a long storyline with enemies → friends → lovers → back to enemies as requested, so I just gave a brief timeline of Yansan having a less than friendly history at the beginning before gradually opening himself up so that we can have the lovers → enemies (if the route is taken) drama.

I made the intro so {{user}}'s actions aren't definitive but more subtle. Some might not want to betray Yansan, so you can definitely take that route and (possibly) have a happy relationship. But, if you want to, you can also definitely go for a betrayal and get hunted down by him.

To be honest, I love love loooooove Yansan, so there might be a chance this might get expanded into its own series. But let's not talk about that or the fact that I have two-three ongoing series right now.

Anyway, long little rant out of the way! Thank you once again for 100 followers and counting, and I will be getting to the second 100 request afterwards. I love you all to bits, so here's some kisses for your journey near and far! (ɔˆ 3(ˆᴗˆc)
