The night air was thick with the scent of the sea, a gentle breeze wafting from the east, carrying with it the tang of salt water that hung in the air like a fine mist. The surroundings were bathed in an uncanny glow that reached out into the darkness, rendering the edges of Kaiju Bay and the vastness beyond just barely discernible, save for a distant, shadowy outline. The guardian of the Beacon of the Abyss reveled in the quietude, perpetually mesmerized by the Sunfire Pearl as it nestled within the radiant lantern, its slow rotation atop the towering lighthouse a symbol of ceaseless vigilance.
In the distance, a faint thrumming, initially almost imperceptible, began to swell, rapidly growing in intensity. The guardian turned, eyes lifting to the night sky. Without warning, glass shattered as a dark-winged figure burst into the upper chamber. In mere moments, the guardian was savagely attacked, flung about mercilessly. His lifeless form was then hurled from the lighthouse, plummeting into the night before finally crashing into the depths of Kaiju Bay.
The gargoyle, with a fierce swipe, destroyed the lantern and seized the massive, glowing Pearl in its twisted grasp. The lighthouse, once a beacon of hope and safety, now stood silent, dark, and forsaken. Far off, the sky was painted with a fading orange hue, the gargoyle and the stolen Sunfire Pearl disappearing beyond the horizon. Kaiju Bay was plunged into an expanse of shadow, the beacon extinguished, leaving all who ventured near lost to the embrace of the night. In the very heart of the bay, the waters began to roil and surge, the calm shattered by an earth-shaking roar that heralded the awakening of the deep.

Through the Echoes of the Singularity, I, Akemi Cleaver of the Arena, found myself cast adrift in time, a lone wanderer navigating the murky waters of Kaiju Bay's past. The night air was heavy with the scent of burning wood, a poignant reminder of the chaos that had engulfed Sakana Cove. The once-serene beacon now stood as a grim silhouette against the night sky, its light extinguished, a testament to the turmoil that had befallen my home. Amidst this chaos, I clung to a slender hope: to harness the Echoes of the Singularity and rewrite the dark pages of our history. As I sailed into the heart of Kaiju Bay, the fabric of reality around me thinned, and I was pulled into a vortex of time. My vision blurred, and a deafening roar filled my ears. When the world finally came into focus, I was no longer in the Runiverse I knew. I had been transported thousands of years into the past, to the very moment the Singularity tore through the fabric of our world. The sight that greeted me was one of utter devastation. Cities lay in ruins, their once majestic structures now nothing but rubble. The land itself was torn asunder, gaping chasms where lush forests and bustling towns once stood. The air was thick with the cries of the dying, a haunting melody that spoke of the massive loss of lives. And amidst this chaos, new beings emerged, their forms twisted and strange, born from the raw magic unleashed by the Singularity. Captured by these newly evolved goblins, creatures both curious and cunning, I was taken deep into their lair
