The crimson sky of the first season had faded into deep twilight, but Kaen stood at the edge of the broken realm, watching the old white tree sway in silence. Deepa's part of Heaven remained untouched—an eerie, eternal garden beyond the eyes of gods or men. The tree's bark shimmered faintly, its roots sunken into forgotten bones.
A white crow circled once, then perched on the highest branch. Its eyes glowed like twin moons. For a moment, it stared directly at Kaen.
Then, it spoke. "He has returned."
Kaen's smile was unreadable. "So the tree remembers too."
Back on Earth, the world turned without pause. News of the shattered gate and the miracle survivors spread across media and Hunter networks alike. Zian's name appeared in headlines, speculated to be humanity's hidden ace. But she kept to herself, golden eyes haunted by recent memories—the angel's dying scream, the battlefield of her past self, and Kaen's unshakable presence.
Lirien trained in secret, now wielding void techniques that twisted reality. Her red eyes glowed stronger each day. Kaen watched from the shadows, unseen, testing something older than time.
Meanwhile, in the Academy, a new announcement shook the Hunter world: A celestial rift had appeared above the Arctic—sealed by layers of divine runes and forgotten spells. No hunter had ever returned from its edge.
Kaen's eyes narrowed.
"Looks like we're going north."
And so, with powers reawakening and truths beginning to unravel, the second season begins—with the balance between heavens and darkness shifting again.
