Max followed Aria and Elias through the radiant, rune-lit streets of the floating city known as Bridge City—a name that made perfect sense the moment he stepped into it.
Suspended high above the Lower Domain, yet still beneath the grandeur of the Middle Domain, Bridge City served exactly as its name implied: a bridge between two vastly different worlds.
As Aria had explained, this city wasn't just a checkpoint or a transit hub; it was a symbol of unity between domains, governed by none other than the four major families of the Four God Nation.
Each family held sway over a quadrant of the city, maintaining a delicate balance of power, much like they did across the entire planet of Acaris—though, here, the scale was far more contained and manageable.
The walls were etched with protective runes that shimmered subtly with power, and grand spires reached toward the hollow sky above like monuments of ancient prestige.
