The **Rainy Era** had started.
Thunderstorms? Check.
Flooded roads? Check.
You know, when every step outside feels like stepping into a wet sock factory? Yeah, that season.
So what was I doing?
**Relaxing.**
Standing on a balcony with a cup of hot tea looking dramatic? Triple check.
Or... at least trying to.

### Becoming the Ice King
I decided to seriously train my **cryokinesis**.
Not just "make ice cubes for my soda" level.
I mean **Ice Age level**.
One day, I got a bit *too excited* and ended up freezing an entire island near Auroura.
Like, *everything*.
The trees? Icy.
The birds? Sitting on icicle nests.
The water? Frozen solid—fish looking *extremely confused* mid-swim.
One minute: normal tropical paradise.
Next minute: welcome to Aurorian Ice Age 2.0.
When I finished, I basically collapsed like a fried potato.
**Note to self:**
Big ice attacks = big nap afterwards.

### Understanding the Levels of Ice
Through my training, I figured out something important: **Not all ice is the same.**
There are **levels**:
- **Soft ice**: Like a slushy. Good for slowing enemies.
- **Normal ice**: Standard ice walls, blades, and spikes.
- **Reinforced Ice**: Mixed with microscopic metal particles I manipulate, making it almost *vibranium-hard*.
- **Absolute Zero Ice**: My deadliest ice yet — freezes the molecular motion itself, turning anything into brittle crystal.
(**Scientific Note:**
Absolute Zero is -273.15°C. Molecular motion *almost stops*.
When I try to simulate it, it creates a dangerous unstable field around the ice—good for weapons, bad for, well... staying alive.)

### Guess what?
Remember **Knox**?
The guy who used to beat me up during sparring?
Yeah, if we fought now, I'd fold him like an omelette.
Especially if I use my **metal manipulation** along with my cryokinesis.
I'm like Magneto and Elsa had a baby.
I'm practically a walking natural disaster now.
**Overpowered?**
Absolutely.
**Sorry, not sorry.**

### Aurorian Death Statistics
Out of curiosity (and boredom), I checked the Aurorian records.
Since my birth, there was only **ONE** recorded Aurorian death.
Remember that guy?
The legend who thought it was a good idea to fight **10 Klakeiths** (those 10 Headed Giant-Eagles)?
Yeah, he was 30 Aurorian years old.
Rest in pieces, buddy. You lived stupid, you died heroic.
Moral of the story:
Aurorians are pretty much invincible ... unless you pick a fight with an entire **zoo** at once.

### New Achievements Unlocked
- **Retractable Fangs Mastery**: Now I can pop them in and out like Wolverine. It's weirdly satisfying.
Now I can choose:
Smile: Normal.
Smile: Vamp mode.
Smile: TERRIFY EVERYONE AT ONCE.
I feel so fancy, man. I even practiced in the mirror for like an hour. (10/10, would recommend.)
- **Twins Chaos**:
So, my twin siblings, Aetheria and Terraka, joined a hunting exercise with me and Dad.
*Keyword*: simple.
Except Aetheria got clawed by a Montroko—a **15-foot-tall hyena-beast**.
Big mistake.
HUGE mistake.
Me and Dad?
We.
Went.
**Berserk.**

### **The Great Montroko Massacre**
We didn't just kill the Montroko that hurt her.
Oh no.
We **declared war** on the whole species.
**For Months.**
- If it barked? Gone.
- If it growled? Gone.
- If it had weird furry ears and drooled? *Especially gone.*
-Camps burned.
-Dens crushed.
-Montrokos running in fear, like, "AAAAA SAVE US!"
-No saving. Only doom.
Thousands of Montrokos fell to the combined wrath of a very angry father-son duo.
I think the Montroko race put up "WANTED" posters with our faces on them.
We even got a nickname in town:
**"The Furry Bane."**
After that, **Mom banned Aetheria from hunting** until she was *at least* able to lift a full Griorite hammer.
Terraka?
Well, he's... uh... strong.
And dumb.
He can hunt by himself now.
Even the monsters feel pity when he shows up.
He once tried to wrestle a wild cow for no reason.
He won.
We're both proud and concerned.

### Born Different
My parents knew from day one:
I wasn't normal.
- Stronger.
- Faster.
- Smarter.
- Prettier. (Probably.)
They believed—and still believe—that **one day I'll surpass even my father**, the Godking Kraelos himself.
Proof?
Even now, the other Aurorians my age?
They can't beat me even **20 versus 1**.
I'm basically a walking raid boss at this point.

### New Ability: Metal-Cryo Sensory
Okay, this part's kinda cool—and nerdy.
I realized that:
- **Air** always has **tiny metal particles** (dust, minerals).
- **Cold** affects how **air molecules** move.
By combining my magnetic control with my cryokinesis, I created a kind of **"cryomagnetic echolocation"**.
**Similar to Enel from One Piece**, but instead of electro-waves, I:
- Sense the slight metallic shifts and air disturbances caused by movement.
- Detect the drop in thermal energy when a body moves through cold air.
**Result?**
I can:
- Sense enemy movements within a **few kilometers**.
- Predict where attacks will come from—*even blindfolded*.
- Be SUPER annoying in sparring matches.
**Downside?**
I can't "hear" conversations like Enel. I just know **where** and **how** things move around me.
Like a living radar system made out of frozen particles.
(**Science-y Note:**
Colder air is denser. Movements disturb its molecules differently than warm air. Metals act as conductive signal amplifiers, allowing me to trace kinetic signatures!)

### A Few Months Later...
Everything was peaceful.
**Too peaceful.**
Until...
**An unexpected visitor arrived.**
Not from the village.
Not from the surrounding kingdoms.
Not even from this world.
No.
Something—or someone—had come to Aethonix...
...and it would change everything.
A strange silhouette descended from the clouds.
Wearing dark armor, crackling with unknown energy.
