Jonathan Kane was no longer the man he used to be. The storm inside him, untamed and alive, refused to be ignored. Faint plasma sparked at his fingertips as the weight of the Void King’s shadow loomed closer every day. He couldn’t escape it, couldn’t suppress it. Aetheris pulsed beneath his skin, relentless and demanding—challenging him not to control it but to embrace it.

In the desolate silence of the abandoned DeWitt Quarry, Jonathan confronted his power head-on. The storm raged within him, untethered and wild, as jagged arcs of plasma illuminated the night. Frustration and exhilaration collided as he wrestled with the volatile force threatening to spiral out of control. The quarry trembled with each surge of energy, raw and ferocious, a testament to Aetheris’s untamed power.

Amid the chaos, the words of his guide echoed: “The storm isn’t something to fight—it’s something to understand.” Slowly, Jonathan began to see the truth. The storm wasn’t his enemy; it was his ally. It didn’t demand dominance but trust.

For the first time, Jonathan let go of fear and allowed the storm to move with him, not against him. The power pulsing through his veins became more than chaos—it became harmony. The wild plasma coiled around him, alive but steady, a force he no longer feared.

This was only the beginning. The Void King’s shadow was coming, but Jonathan was no longer the same man. The storm was no longer something he feared—it was a part of him.

To see how far this power can take him, dive deeper into Chapter 7 of Voltaris: The Awakening.
