When did it begin?
Frey asked himself, watching the visions from a long-forgotten time.
Wandering through the shadowy vastness of the cosmos, lost in the world revealed by the mask, Frey finally began to glimpse fragments of the truth.
Earth… was just one planet among hundreds of thousands scattered across an unfathomable universe.
Far beyond it was a larger world, orbiting quietly in the cosmic void.
A planet called Krat.
A world that had birthed a civilization so advanced, it stood unrivaled in all known history.
And it was all thanks to the noble race that inhabited it.
Highly intelligent, almost human in form .. save for their ghostly pale skin and dull gray irises.
But their true distinction lay in something far deeper:
They felt nothing.
Love. Grief. Anger. All foreign to them—emotions stripped away at birth.
What remained were muted senses—pain, cold, heat—no more than the bare instincts shared by all living things.
