Chapter 2: Chapter Two: The Awakening of the Fallen
The cold air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur, and Elena slowly opened her eyes to find herself lying on a charred earth. The sky in the distance was grey and dark, and a few broken stone columns stuck in the wilderness like broken giant bones, adding a kind of death to the world.
She moved her fingers to touch her chest, which felt rough and dull. She clearly remembered that the sword had pierced her heart, but now, except for a burning sensation and a deep scar, she was unscathed. Elena struggled to sit up, her eyes scanned the strange and grim land, and there was a faint low wind in her ears, like the whisper of a ghost.
Just as she wondered, a pale golden light suddenly emerged from her wrist. The light quickly condensed into a translucent panel that floated before her eyes.

Elena looked at these messages, her fingertips shaking slightly, her eyes fixed on the word "abandoned son." She never thought she would one day be associated with the word. In the doctrine of the Empire, the forsaken are the dirtiest and most wretched of beings - souls abandoned by the angelic gods, cursed and banished to this wasteland, deemed unworthy even of faith.
She clenched her fist slowly, and the emotion that surged through her chest was suffocating. Once the most glorious general of the angel camp, the empire she guarded and the glory of her faith pushed her into the abyss with her own hands.
"Renault..." She clenched her teeth and saw the man's cold stare in her mind. He personally stabbed the sword into her chest, destroyed everything she had, but also let her see the hypocrisy of the so-called angel camp. Elena took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She looked down at the panel again, especially the words "SSS class." An abandoned son, with such great potential?
Her thoughts were interrupted, the air around her seemed more repressed, and there seemed to be a low laugh in her ear, echoing with the wind, as if to ridicule her experience, and as if to welcome her to join.
The Ophelia Empire, a vast empire based on the belief in angels, was glittering on the surface but bubbling under the surface. As representatives of the Camp of Light, angelic gods were regarded as the only faith in the world, while the royal family was called the "incarnation of gods on earth." Royal family members were endowed with higher sequence potential due to their special bloodlines, and they controlled not only the Empire's army and followers, but also the core resources of the faith.
However, Ophelia's faith was not entirely pure. Behind the royal power struggle, there is also the infiltration of the demon camp, the threat of the Beast rebels, and the abandoned camp hidden in the wasteland. The glory of the angelic camp is actually built on the sacrifice of countless souls, and the outcasts are the ugliest link in the belief system.
Elena was once the "perfect piece" in this system. She was the marriage tool of the royal family, the symbol of victory on the battlefield, and even the hero of the people of the empire. However, it was this dazzling light that made her a victim of Renault's trickery.
Renaud Ophelia, fourth Prince of the Empire, an ambitious man by nature. He understood the rules of the angelic camp and knew how to use the power of faith to gain more power for himself. Marrying Elena is the first step he made to consolidate his military power, and framing Elena is the inevitable choice for him to further the imperial power. In order to completely eradicate Elena, he not only discredited her military achievements, but also expelled her from the angel's blessing on the charge of collaborating with the demon camp, completely destroying her glory and faith.
Now, Elena has been abandoned in the wilderness, into the abandoned child camp. Every soul here is a victim abandoned by the light and used by power. Forsakes have no faith, no rules, and therefore no bondage. Their power comes from resistance and anger, independent of angels and demons.
Elena stood up slowly, feeling the power flowing through her chest. The power was so strange, but it made her feel more full than ever before. Light and darkness mingled in her body, causing her pain and bringing a new kind of hope.
"Since the light has abandoned me, I will use my own strength to write my own destiny." 'she whispered, her eyes firm and sharp.
She knows that she can't go back, but she won't give in. Raynor thought this sword would end her, but little did she know that it was only the beginning of her story.
Elena's fall is not the end, but the prelude to her rise.
