1 chapter 1: opening of the portal and the emergence of the otherworldly giants

:

Within a portal, a colossal throne stands as the last vestige of a forgotten majesty. Upon it sits a formidable dragonoid, a commanding fusion of scales and sinew. Its scales akin to obsidian armor shimmering with sinister sheen, its eyes reflective pools of cunning glistened with malevolent intelligence. Its presence evokes both awe and trepidation; its powerful form radiates an air of ancient wisdom. Its figure, larger than life, is draped in tattered remnants of regal attire, a stark contrast to the depleted chamber it presides over. The throne room, once resplendent, now lies in ruin, echoing with whispers of past and long-gone ambitions. As the portal hums with energy, the dragonoid's chilling laughter reverberates through the air.

Amidst the tranquility of the Sahara desert, the first portal materialized. Its edge glow with celestial light, towering dunes shifting with the breath of the wind. A volcanic realm immediately materialized as if to welcome its to-come majesty. The dragonoid, draped in the shadows of his throne, contemplated the cosmic change before him. His eyes, once glimmering with malevolence, now held a glint of anticipation in line with his ignited desire to seize the mantle of this dominion before him. However, an incomparable force seemed to stop him from stepping out of the portal into the realm before him.

Amidst another portal that enveloped the Ant Queen's domain stood a forest, a testament to the passage of ages and a steadfast guardian of time's relentless embrace. Ancient sentinels, their gnarled trunks etched with the wisdom of centuries, punctuate the verdant expanse. Their branches reach skyward in an eternal salute to the heavens. The forest's hallowed grounds hold echoes of bygone eras, and the rustling leaves seem to whisper tales of epochs long past. Each tree a monument to resilience, having weathered storms and witnessed the dance of seasons countless times, emerging stronger with every trial. A sanctuary where time has gently sculpted nature's masterpiece, an enduring testament to the harmony between ages and the unwavering belief that only the truest survivors possess—the followers of Queen Elara.

A solemn gathering of loyal subjects ensues; the Queen herself stands at the heart of the congregation, antennae raised to capture the essence of the world that has been birthed before them. The Queen poised and dignified, her antennae quivering as they detect the ripples in the cosmic change.

In an alternate realm, in another portal, an obsidian throne awaits its rightful occupant. A realm etched with the wisdom of ages, each stone whispering secrets of civilizations that have risen and fallen. A ruined palace stands as a haunting reminder of a bygone era, once the heart of a majestic kingdom that held sway over the world. Now, its grandeur crumbled into decay, towering spires lean precariously. The elegance replaced by a sense of melancholy, the walls adorned with intricate carvings now bear the scars of time and neglect. Nature, once tamed, now fights back with vines climbing the remains like mournful tendrils. With this, a king with his retinue stands on the precipice of destiny, a contrast to the past's buzzing population. The king surveys the land that cradles the weight of history.

As if following the trend, millions of other portals start materializing spontaneously across the globe, each glad to have snatched a slot into this sanctuary for their fallen and remaining brethren, while other portals remain empty with everyone annihilated. As people go on about their daily lives and normal routines, mankind will soon come to know a world altered forever.
