Chapter 1. The Champion

Chapter 1 opens the story by unveiling the dual timeline at the core of The Brokens: a distant, war-torn future and an ancient era long erased from human memory. These two worlds, separated by millennia, are bound by a hidden force that is only beginning to stir. As readers step into this universe, they encounter several of the main characters for the first time — each carrying fragments of a greater truth they themselves have yet to understand. Their destinies are shaped by events that happened long before their birth… and by those that have not yet come to pass. But beneath the introductions and world-building lies a quiet tension: something awakened in the ancient past, something powerful enough to echo across ages — and its resurgence in the future is neither random nor accidental. Chapter 1 serves as a gateway into the vast mythology of The Brokens, hinting that the timelines are destined to collide… and that the real story begins the moment they do.
