Chapter 9: Fortune Rivalling Heaven

The goblins, intoxicated with their perceived victory, continued their cruel jests, unaware of the latent power that simmered beneath the surface of Xaide's seemingly powerless exterior. Composing himself, Xaide adopted a casual demeanor, masking the frustration that brewed within. He chose a different approach, relying on his wits and innate resourcefulness.

"Well, well, looks like I'll have to handle this the old-fashioned way," Xaide muttered to himself, concealing his internal turmoil with a sly grin.

In a sudden burst of agility, he dodged the goblins' magical onslaught with finesse, leaving them bewildered. Swift and strategic, Xaide utilized the natural terrain to his advantage, employing evasive maneuvers that left the goblins swinging at thin air. The young girl, wide-eyed and hopeful, witnessed an unexpected turn of events.

The goblin leader, frustrated by the sudden turn of events, lunged at Xaide with a clumsy yet forceful strike. Seizing the opportunity, Xaide expertly disarmed the goblin, sending its magical wand spiraling through the air. Catching the wand mid-flight, Xaide turned the tables, aiming the wand at the goblin gang.

A surge of icy energy emanated from the wand, encasing the tormentors in a shimmering layer of frost. The once-mocking goblins now stood frozen, their laughter silenced by the unexpected twist of fate. Xaide, now in control, addressed the girl with a casual smirk, "Seems like I have my own brand of magic."

Gratitude and relief filled the girl's eyes as she exclaimed, "Thank you! You're my hero!"

Xaide, ever the enigma, shrugged off the praise. "Yeah, yeah, just a regular guy in a cosmic circus. What's going on in this place, anyway?"

The girl, introducing herself as Lyla, explained the intricate dynamics of the enchanted realm known as Celestia. It was a world where individuals summoned from various realms were tasked with overcoming trials, each bearing a unique set of challenges. Success in these trials granted them cosmic power, and the ultimate goal was to ascend to the coveted position of Celestial Champion.

Intrigued by the prospect of newfound abilities, Xaide decided to navigate the labyrinthine trials of Celestia, embracing the unpredictable journey that awaited him. As he ventured forth, the echoes of his tumultuous past intertwined with the cosmic mysteries of this enchanted realm, setting the stage for a saga that transcended the boundaries of reality and imagination.

Celestia, with its vibrant landscapes and celestial wonders, became the backdrop for Xaide's odyssey – a tale where unpredictability and cosmic whims converged, shaping destinies and unraveling the enigma of a mortal thrust into the cosmic spotlight. The cosmic circus unfolded, and Xaide, ever the unwilling performer, danced on the threads of fate with a charisma that belied the chaos within.
