Chronicles Of The Crafting Hero

The Void Amour



Long before stars were born or time began its eternal flow, there was only the void: an ancient, boundless abyss of absolute nothingness. It is the primordial force predating creation itself and the source to which all things ultimately return. Tyler's link to the void connects him to this timeless emptiness, making the Void Armour a fragile tether to a power older than existence—a gift and a peril drawn from the very edge of reality

1. Skills: Dark Nexus:

This skill allows the user to create a sinister tether made of void energy between themselves and up to Five enemies within 100 meters. Once connected, any damage dealt to one linked enemy is partially shared among all others tethered, effectively distributing the pain and weakening the group's overall defense. The tethers also drain vitality, subtly sapping strength and stamina from those connected, making them more vulnerable.

In the context of Dark Nexus, the void energy creates a metaphysical link that forces enemies to share their pain and weakness, exploiting their connections and making them easier to dismantle as a unit. This skill embodies control and manipulation, reflecting the Void Armour's theme of overwhelming foes with the emptiness and despair inherent in void power.

2.Essence Corruption

Essence Corruption is a debilitating skill that targets an enemy's very soul or life essence, infecting it with malevolent void energy. Upon activation, Tyler channels the void's corrupting power into a focused strike or spell that infiltrates the target's spiritual core. This corruption causes the target's essence to become unstable and tainted, leading to two main effects:

Increased Damage Taken:

The corrupted essence weakens the target's defenses on all levels, physical, magical, and spiritual, making them take 30% more damage from any source for a duration of 30 seconds. This vulnerability compounds any incoming attacks, allowing Tyler and his allies to exploit the target's diminished resistance.

Healing and Buff Disruption:

The void-infected soul is thrown off balance, causing the target's attempts to heal or buff themselves to fail within the next 30 seconds. This means any healing spells, potions, or beneficial enhancements either completely miss or their effects are drastically reduced, leaving the enemy exposed and unable to recover or fortify themselves.

How Void Energy Works in Essence Corruption:

Void energy, as the embodiment of emptiness and decay, acts like a spiritual poison here. It corrupts and destabilizes the natural energies that sustain life and magic. Instead of providing strength, the void siphons off the target's vitality, disrupting their life force's flow and causing internal discord. This sickness of the soul manifests as confusion, weakness, and vulnerability to further attacks.

3.Voidflare Pulse:

Voidflare Pulse is a devastating skill that unleashes a concentrated pulse of daylight twisted and corrupted by void energy. When activated, the skill emits a sudden burst of unnatural, searing light in a 50-meter radius around the user. Unlike ordinary light, this void-infused daylight disrupts the fundamental spiritual and magical forces within the affected area.

Enemies caught inside the pulse experience immediate and severe interference with their ability to harness magic or spiritual power. All ongoing magical, supernatural abilities, buffs, or enchantments are forcibly nullified, leaving enemies vulnerable and stripped of their enhancements. For the next 30 seconds, silence descends—no spells can be cast, no channels held, and no magical regeneration occurs.

This pulse also carries a faint but piercing burn of void energy that affects mental focus, causing attackers relying on magic or spiritual strength to hesitate or falter in their attacks. The voidlight's corrosive influence suppresses their energy flow, making recovery difficult and making them wary of further engagement during its effect.

How Void Energy Works in Voidflare Pulse:

Void energy here acts as a corruptive counterforce to life and magic energy. It incapacitates rather than destroys outright, severing the connection between the enemy and their source of power. It is as if the very fabric that sustains magical strength is momentarily torn apart and sucked into an empty abyss. The daylight's natural radiance is perverted to a cold, hostile light—bright enough to blind, yet cruel enough to strip away strength and hope.

5.Abyssal Glare

Abyssal Glare is a focused, debilitated attack that channels void-tainted daylight into the user's gaze, locking onto a single enemy to sap their stamina, resolve, and willpower. When activated, the user's eyes glow with a faint, eerie light, and the targeted enemy feels an oppressive force pressing down on their very spirit and physical energy.

Over the next 15 seconds, the target suffers a progressive drain of stamina, weakening their ability to sustain physical or magical exertion. This loss of energy manifests as slowed movement, sluggish attacks, and delayed reactions, making them an easier target. The target's attacks become weaker and less precise, reducing their damage output significantly.

Additionally, the cost of all skills and abilities for the target increases substantially, as the void-tainted glare distorts their energy flow. Actions that once required a moderate effort now feel exhausting or impossible, further crippling their combat effectiveness.

How Void Energy Works in Abyssal Glare:

The void energy in this skill represents an existential weight, a crushing emptiness that disrupts the natural flow of life force and energy within the target. This corrupted daylight pierces through their defenses not by brute force but by sapping their inner reserves and corrupting their vitality. Rather than causing direct harm, it disables and debilitates gradually.

The sensation for the target is akin to being watched by an overwhelming, crushing emptiness, like an invisible hand squeezing their soul and body simultaneously.

5.Speed of Dark:

Speed of Dark channels the fundamental truth that darkness moves just as fast as light. When activated, the user attains velocity equal to the speed of light, cloaked in the pure essence of void. This grants instantaneous movement and reflexes, making the user nearly impossible to track or hit.

The paradox of this speed lies in the nature of light and dark: wherever light appears, darkness disappears instantly, and when darkness rushes in, light is instantly overtaken. By moving at the speed of dark, the user traverses space with the swiftness of light but shrouded in a cloak of absolute void.

6: Dark spectre: When activated, The User transforms into a living embodiment of void nothingness, a shadowy spectre untethered from physical form. For a full minute, his body becomes intangible, allowing him to phase effortlessly through solid objects, evade physical attacks, and avoid most forms of detection.

7: void shield: The armour creates a dense field of void energy around itself that actively breaks down incoming projectiles or spells, causing them to disintegrate on contact. The shield doesn't block in a traditional sense but erases the threat at a fundamental level. Duration: 1min

8. Voidflux: The user harnesses the Void Armor's power to temporarily "shift" or "phase" his physical presence through the void itself—a dimension of pure nothingness and absence of matter. He essentially becomes one with the void for an instant, removing himself from normal space.

In a split second, Tyler's being blinks out of existence in the current location and instantly rematerializes at the target destination. This is not traveling through an intermediary space, but an instantaneous relocation by slipping fully out of physical reality and reforming wherever he wills.

Unlike conventional teleportation that requires precise coordinates or memories, Tyler's void-based travel is guided by his will and intuition. He simply wills himself to be wherever he wants, and the void reshapes itself to carry him there. This freedom makes his movement incredibly unpredictable and virtually unstoppable, as he is not bound by physical or mental limitations but empowered by the limitless, chaotic nature of the void itself.

9. Wepons From Nothing

Tyler wields the void itself, a formless, ever-shifting realm of emptiness and twisted reality, as the source to shape weapons at will. These weapons are born from raw corruption and nothingness, a violent distortion of existence that defies stable form.

The weapon's shape is never fixed or exact, fluctuating like dark smoke caught in a tempest, sometimes solid and sharp, other times blurry and intangible, as if reality itself struggles to hold it together. This instability is their strength; the blurred edges seem to tear at the seams of the world, distorting space for a fleeting moment with every strike.

Void Armour's Curse:

The Binding Curse is a sinister and irreversible drawback tied to the use of the Void Armour. Each time Tyler activates or wields the armour's immense void energy, a fragment of his soul is torn from him and tethered to the void dimension. This soul fragment becomes a prisoner of the emptiness, gradually weakening Tyler's spiritual core.

Over time and repeated use, the Binding Curse shortens Tyler's natural lifespan, subtly draining his life force beyond the immediate physical toll. The longer he relies on the Void Armour, the more his soul becomes fragmented and susceptible to corruption or possession by void entities.

What *ARE* void entities (you might wonder)

Void entities are the twisted remnants of Tyler's soul that have been torn away and trapped within the void—a dark, endless dimension of emptiness and corruption. These fragments are consumed and transformed by the void's malevolent energy, losing their original purity and becoming corrupted, sentient beings.

Unlike ordinary spirits or demons, these void entities are intimately connected to Tyler's essence; they are essentially lost pieces of himself now corrupted beyond recognition. They do not communicate through words or whispers but instead manifest as an oppressive presence within his mind and spirit.

Tyler can sense these entities approaching possession through intense, overwhelming feelings, like cold void emptiness pressing upon his consciousness, or a crushing weight that threatens to tear him apart from within. Their presence induces fear and a battle to maintain control over his own identity.

Driven by an instinctual hunger, these void entities seek to consume the entirety of Tyler's soul, to regain their lost wholeness by possessing and ultimately subsuming him. This possession would mean losing himself to the void forever, becoming a vessel for the void's dark will.

These entities embody the void's essence: destruction, emptiness, and endless hunger. Their constant threat serves as a grim reminder of the cost of the power Tyler wields, the peril of losing not only his life but his very self to the void.
