Roll of Honor: Chane

It wasn’t enough.

Years of research, suffering, and sacrifice… and it still wasn’t enough. Chane flung the stack of notes from his desk, showering the dark laboratory with faintly glowing leaves of parchment. He had failed. Again.

Solana still reigned unopposed, blinding the feeble minded with pious nonsense so they would never see the ugly truth. Chane slumped forward, rubbing his aching temples. There had to be another way, it couldn’t all be for nothing. It was unacceptable.

“...”

He froze, ears pricking at the sound. The laboratory was as silent as the grave, save for muffled shrieks emanating from some dark corridor elsewhere in the Demonastery. He didn’t dare move a muscle, straining to hear that ominous rasp again.

“...hhH.”

He whirled around, hoping to catch whatever was breathing down his neck red-clawed. But the room was empty. Chane scowled. He was too intelligent to allow his own mind to play tricks on him. Something wasn’t right.

“...Thhh… gaaate…”

The blood instantly drained from his face. The whisper was silent yet deafening. Harsh yet melodious. Everywhere yet nowhere. In a single moment those two words alone told Chane everything he needed to know. This was the answer. He could feel it in his blackened soul.

“What… what do you need me to do?” He cautiously asked the empty air, digging his fingers deep into the marred wood of the desk until blood spurted from underneath his nails.

“Find… me…”

Debuting in Monarch on May 7th 2021, Chane bound the world of Blitz to his rule, accessing unlimited forbidden power to overcome his opponents. While his devious plans were initially held back by frosty foes, it didn't take long for the iconic Shadow hero to break through the barrier and plunge Rathe into total darkness.

His ability to play several attacks such as Rift Bind from the banished zone coupled with a free source of go again every turn was already monstrously powerful to begin with, but it was the fact that he could pick up decently strong tools like Belittle or Art of War and mutate them into twisted horrors of mass destruction that made him the name still uttered in terrified whispers to this day.

Chane officially reached Living Legend in Blitz on November 24th 2023. Congratulations to all the Disciples of Pain who lead the Demonastery's onslaught. Your names have been scrawled in blood on the Roll of Honor!
