Noir felt chill run down his spine as he cautiously turn his head around. The figure is 7ft tall and was massive. His round belly stretching against his coat, broad shoulders adding to his towering presence and his eye look predatory.
Noir are shaking but try to hold in after he saw a towering presence front of him. " So big. " Noir mutter.
" What do you say? " The way the figure spoke, his voice rumbled like distant thunder making Noir cautiously thinking of his answer.
" No..noth..nothing..hehhehe. I didn't say nothing..hehe. " Noir stammered.
" Then what are you doing here? " The man said.
Noir hesitated before he answer. " Huh.mm...I'm just lost...yeah, I'm actually on a vacation but i'm lost."
The man eye fixed to Noir.
" Haha...ha. Then i'll be going now. Pleasure to meet you. See you when i see you. "As Noir walk past the man. " Fuh... Things could go way worse. Thank god he didn't thought suspicious of me.
Noir only a few steps away to the entrance.
But then...
Noir turn his head back to see if the man followed but there's no trace of that man. " I think i'm safe now." Noir thought.
When Noir turn his head. He collide to something big and hard. " Ufff...The hell? " As Noir getting back on his feet. But his expression turn paled, beads of sweat forming at his temple because the towering figure of man before just appear front of him just before he making his way to the entrance.
" (Why is he here!!) " he thought, staring at the towering figure.
" I never said you can go. " The man said, his tone deep and commanding. " It's weird though. " The man said. " People rarely get lost in this area. This place doesn't have any cases that people who travel to this area get lost. " As the man stepped closer, his eyes fixed on Noir.
Noir slowly stepped back. " Surely, There must be someone who lost here. I mean i could the first tourist to get lost due to my damp brain. Hehehehe. " Noir laugh awkwardly.
" You know something don't you? " The man ask.
Noir stopped in his track. " What do you mean? "
" You said you're a tourist so basically you did a research am i right? " The man said.
Sweat dripping on Noir forehead. " Yeah...Of course i did a research...haha. Why would i'm not hahaha..." Noir said nervously.
The towering man drive his face closely to Noir. " So you know that this place is prohibited right? Basically you here because you know something about this place, correct? " The man ask , his tone deep.

Two hundred years ago, an emperor wielded a ring of great power, leading an army of those who gained their ring-given abilities for evil. These people became known as the Doombringers . Their reign of terror marked the beginning of an era drenched in blood and chaos.
But then, a new order rose—the Sentinels—warriors who stood against the Doombringers in the name of Hierachy. The war between them occur for a full year.
In the end, the Sentinels emerged victorious, and the emperor fell. Yet, before his final breath, he muttered his last word.
"One day, a new force shall rise. A force that will shatter the world's balance and reshape the hierarchy. What shall he bring? Salvation… or demise? He who is favored by the hierarchy shall decide."
With those final words, the emperor met his end.
Since that day, the war between Doombringer and Sentinel has never truly ceased, battles erupting across the world. The Temple of Nirvana, once the emperor's stronghold, has remained abandoned, forbidden. Until now, People are prohibted from that place but some were stubborn and not seen since they enter that place. No one knows why.
